One of the latest Soca songs to hit the airwaves is “Play Forever” by Marge Blackman and Mical Teja, two talented artists from Trinidad and Tobago. The song is part of Marge Blackman’s debut album “Day & Night”, which was released in October 2023 featuring thirteen songs. The album is available on all major platforms including Apple Music
Mical Teja is a versatile producer, singer, and songwriter who has collaborated with many Soca stars and has one of the hottest releases for Carnival 2024 titled, "DNA".
“Play Forever” is a song that celebrates the joy of living in the moment and sharing it with someone special. The lyrics are simple but heartfelt, expressing the desire to play, dance, and love forever with the person who makes them happy. The interaction is more like a conversation between two people seeking something:
Marge B:
Mhm, Aha
You want to play forever
Mhm, Aha
That dey go raise my pressure
Teja:
Mhm, Aha
I want to play forever
Ooo, Aha
Ah doh mean to make yuh suffer
Unrequited love can be painful, leaving one person sick with a case of the blues, aka “tabanka”! But alas, in this Jamoo love conversation, Marge stands firm and will not tolerate her lover wanting to have it all. Sometimes experiencing the pain of loving and losing someone can become a liberating experience.
Musically: The music is upbeat and lively, with a catchy hook and a groovy bassline. The song also features some Jamoo influences, pioneered by the Blackman family. The song has a festive vibe that can make anyone feel good and want to join the party.
“Play Forever” is a song that captures the essence of Jamoo Soca music: a celebration of life, love, and happiness. It is a song that can inspire anyone to live in the present and enjoy every moment with the people they care about. It is a song that can make anyone want to play forever.
We recommend this song not simply because it is a feel-good song but because the back-and-forth between the singers feels so real. It feels like two people trying to sort out their feelings for each other in this crazy world we live in. Well done...
