Who said Soca can’t be tender? “Old & Grey” is here to prove them wrong. This heartfelt love song from Hey Choppi and AdvoKit Productions paints a vivid picture of a couple who’ve lived, loved, and laughed their way through life—now growing old together with grace and gratitude.
Yes, it shares a title with Patrice Roberts’ “Old and Grey,” but this one takes a different emotional route. It’s not just about aging—it’s about fulfillment, legacy, and the kind of love that dances through decades. Soca music isn’t just for the jump and wave—it’s for the heart, too. And this track? It’s a keeper.
The songwriting team of Sean “Hey Choppi” Padmore and Chalmer John did a wonderful job with the lyrics for this song. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by AdvoKit Productions... it all adds up to making it a keeper. We believe in giving credit where it is due, and in this case, we applaud Gideon Bishop for the additional instrumentation and Shania K. Perez for directing the visualizer. Everything helps make the track a professional effort, of which we take note.
The track is a keeper and if you’re curating your personal playlist or setting the mood for a backyard lime, this one deserves a spot. Expect it to echo across the diaspora—from headphones to house parties, from quiet reflections to Carnival whine-downs.
Soca encompasses a wide range of music, appealing to both young and old generations. The accompanying image depicts a youthful couple envisioning themselves as they age, illustrating how Soca takes us home. "Old & Grey" serves as a reminder that love, in all its stages, is woven into the rhythm.
