Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised with Trinidad culture in his veins, Soca artist Taller Dan has a possible Soca anthem in the making. Soca fans, get ready to groove to Taller Dan's latest release, "The Prescription," just in time for Carnival 2025! This track is already making waves with its infectious rhythm and high-energy beats, but at just 2 minutes and 18 seconds, it leaves us craving more.
Stand back now because some serious 'jooking' is taking place for this prescription that Taller Dan has to 'endure'. Watch the video image of the young lady dancing, and as a seasoned West Indian, you will understand the lyrics' double entendre. This song serves as a teaser, a sensual melody with a dual meaning. If you are a serious individual, oh hell no, this song is just wicked, wink, wink, and the key is "One Jook and ah feeling better." She jook and she jook and she jook... but yuh, looking good, all that jooking makes sense now!" Need I say more...
I know you love the song, but we believe an extension is necessary for it. During our morning conversation with the Islandvybe Philly DJs, we talked about this song. In fact, the DJs intend to debut the song during today's broadcast. I challenged the DJs to remix and extend the song to at least 3 minutes. The infectious vibes of "Prescription" compel you to dance endlessly. However, its short duration might leave fans wanting more. By reworking the lyrics and extending the run time by an additional minute, Taller Dan can ensure that the song becomes a staple at parties and fetes across the Caribbean. An extended version would allow for more instrumental breaks, additional verses, or even a catchy bridge that keeps the energy high and the crowd engaged.
Extending "The Prescription" could significantly boost its popularity. Soca fans love tracks that they can lose themselves in, and a longer version would provide just that. Imagine the song playing at a carnival parade, with everyone dancing and singing along for an extra minute of pure joy. This could be the key to making "Prescription" a hit that resonates with Soca lovers everywhere.
Taller Dan has already given us a fantastic track with "The Prescription." He has the opportunity to elevate it to an even higher level of greatness by extending its runtime. Let's hope we get to enjoy an extended version soon, so we can keep the vibes going strong throughout Carnival 2025 and beyond!
