Every now and then a song comes along that reminds us where Soca came from while pointing to where it can still go. “Nice Time” by Curtis Marc is one of those songs.

This is what we would proudly call CalypSoca. Yes, Calypso. A true hybrid where calypso storytelling and melody meet soca rhythm and energy. Listening to this track feels like a respectful nod to the style made popular by legends like Lord Nelson, while still delivering enough bounce and groove to connect with a younger audience.

Featured on the Old Spice Riddim for Carnival 2027, "Nice Time" captures the excitement of getting dressed, heading out, and creating memories with someone special. It's a simple concept, but occasionally the simplest ideas make for the sweetest songs.

What we consider niceness here: A Nice Time

The lyrics celebrate the joy of the moment. The anticipation of a night out. The music. The dancing. The laughter. The chemistry between two people who feel as if they are the only ones in the room.

There is a warmth to this track that feels genuine.

The recurring chorus captures the song's essence:

• Having a good time.
• Having the right time.
• Tonight... it all happens at the right time.

And honestly, that's what Carnival is for.

🇹🇹 Old School Meets New School

The beauty of "Nice Time" is how naturally it bridges generations.

Older listeners will appreciate the Calypso influences and storytelling style, while younger fans will find enough groove and rhythm to keep them moving. The track never feels forced. Instead, it flows effortlessly, allowing the music to do the work.

• This is not a power SOCA anthem.
• This is not a song trying to mash up the place.
• This is a song designed to make you smile, grab a partner, and enjoy a nice time.
• And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Final Thoughts for This Nice Time We Will Have for Carnival 2027

Curtis Marc delivers a classy piece of CalypSoca that celebrates romance, dancing, and togetherness. The Old Spice Riddim provides the perfect foundation, and the result is a song that feels familiar, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Sometimes that's exactly what we need.

Nice song. Nice vibe. Nice Time.
