Yes, Soca is boss, but there are so many subgenres of the music. Having said that, one has to take note that in most cases, two styles of music generate the most attention: groovy and power soca. Groove Soca is slower and is excellent for dancing at parties and for those who love to take a slow whine with someone special. Power Soca, on the other hand, is the energy engine of Carnival. This style of music is played for masqueraders to 'get on bad' and generate energy when masquerading on carnival days. This is also the music that is used to hype the crowd at carnival fetes. This is the sub-genre that we feature in this post.

 

Power Soca is a subgenre of soca music that is characterized by its fast tempo, energetic vocals, and heavy use of percussion and electronic instruments. This brand of music brings out the 'carnival beast' with a display of festive exuberance while masquerading on the road in carnival bands. No other subgenre of Soca can compete for the Road March title and win. Recently, Kes the Band came close with their beloved song, "Savannah Grass," but in the end, the people demanded something that 'brought out the carnival beast, and "Famalay" by Skinny Fabulous, Machel Montano, and Bunji Garlin prevailed.  Last year, for Carnival 2023, Power Soca prevailed again when Bunji won the Road March title with a song titled "Go Hard," another energy-driven song.

 

As a result of this dominance, our post today features most of the Power Soca songs released for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2024. We are sure that there will be additional releases to add to this YouTube Power Soca mixtape by Julianspromos. We love our Groove Soca music, but when it comes to "carnival on the road," Power Soca rules the day! 

 

There are many contenders for the Road March title this year but who will prevail is the question of the day? Our YouTube Power Soca Player of potential Road March contenders is presented with the compliments of Julianspromos... Enjoy!

If you are looking for a catchy and upbeat song to get you in the mood for Carnival 2024, look no further than “Energy Killers” by Kerwin Du Bois. It is from the album titled "Candy Dance Riddim," a groovy soca compilation produced by Chinese Laundry and Rishi Mahato. This is the future of Soca music, set at the tempo we call Groove Soca. This tempo and Kerwin's total control of the song are perfect for dancing with someone special. This is going to be one of the 'go-to' songs for carnival fetes in 2024.

 

“Energy Killers” is a song that celebrates positivity and rejects negativity. The lyrics, written by Kerwin himself, are on point and convey a message of empowerment and self-love. The song encourages listeners to avoid the “energy killers," who are people who try to bring others down with their complaints, criticisms, and bad vibes. The song also urges listeners to embrace their emotions, have fun, and live in the moment. The chorus is simple but catchy, repeating the phrase “I don’t need any energy killers.”.

 

The song is delivered with Kerwin’s signature smooth and soulful voice, which blends well with the groovy soca beat. The song also features background vocals by Kerwin and Natalie Yorke, who add some harmony and depth to the song. The song is mixed and mastered by Rishi Mahato at Maha Productions.

 

“Energy Killers” has a colorful and fun visualizer, which was produced by Asha Cori and released on YouTube (featured for this post). The visualizer features Kerwin and some kids from Bridge Church in Winter Haven, Florida, who dance and sing along to the song. The visualizer features Kerwin telling his story in song without dancers or other props but culminating with the kids at the end; it all worked well. The visualizer is an excellent portal to take you on your carnival journey, enjoy the song, and get inspired by its positive message.

 

“Energy Killers” is a song that can become an anthem for Carnival 2024, as it captures the spirit and energy of the festival. This song is a perfect example of how groove-soca music can make people feel good and have a great time. The song is available on all streaming platforms, and you can also watch the visualizer released on YouTube and featured on Sokah2Soca. If you are a fan of Groovy Soca and Kerwin Du Bois, you don’t want to miss this song. It will surely make you want to dance and avoid the energy killers in your life. This is my vibe for Carnival 2024!
