"A lion doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep." As I speak my truth here for this post, I expect to be beaten like a rusty old drum on J'ouvert morning. In a world where conformity often trumps individuality, it's essential to embrace one's voice, regardless of the criticism that may follow. I take pride in expressing my thoughts here. So here goes...

"Trust in It," a vibrant masterpiece by the talented Lyrical, is my favorite calypso for Carnival 2025 in Trinidad. But wait, I am not only saying best calypso but best song released for Carnival 2025! Kitwana Israel, Jason Gilbert, and Devon Martin skillfully wrote this captivating tune, and  Skorch Bun It, along with AdvoKit Productions, brought it to life. The song's infectious rhythm and uplifting lyrics resonate with the spirit of celebration that defines Carnival. As the festivities approach, I can't help but anticipate the electrifying performances that will showcase this anthem of joy and unity.

The song's enchanting guitar strums form the heart of its musical arrangement, underscoring Lyrical's profound affection for Soca music. Remarkably, Lyrical masterfully blends the rhythm and soul of Calypso to pay homage to Soca, creating a unique and harmonious fusion. The essence of this composition is relaxation and music enjoyment. It is a song to chip on the road with friends, and, most significantly, it embodies a positive and uplifting sentiment.

What truly stands out about "Trust in It" is the seamless integration of excellent lyrical content, mesmerizing music, and Lyrical's pleasing and heartfelt vocals. Every note and every word is a testament to his love for the genre, making this song not just a Calypso hit but a soulful celebration of Soca's infectious energy. 

I am absolutely enchanted by this song and its ability to convey such a powerful message through its exquisite composition and performance. The way Lyrical captures the essence of the Caribbean spirit is truly remarkable, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the vibrant rhythms and uplifting melodies. Each listen unveils new layers of emotion, reinforcing why "Trust in It" stands out as a defining piece in contemporary Caribbean music.
