Carnival 2025 is on the horizon, and we all plan to go out and have a nice time. Today, we present new music from the King of Soca, Machel Montano. He is back and, some may say, better than ever with his new music release titled, "Nice Time". Fans of Machel will just be happy to hear new music from this talented son of Trinidad & Tobago. The message for this one will be well received because Carnival is all about having a 'nice time'.
This track, produced by Fryktion and featured on the "Hard Jam Riddim" album, has a familiar feel for this artist. This is a very relaxed and laid-back vibe but a needed addition to Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival 2025.
After taking a year off for university studies, Machel's return to the Soca scene this early in the season is a welcomed surprise. "Nice Time" brings/delivers a relaxed feeling and a comfort level that Machel always brings for his fans.
Personally, I feel the same about this song as I do for "Thousand" by Bunji Garlin. Although it is a new music release, it doesn't leave a lasting impression. It does make me feel good but, at the same time, I can't get excited enough to call anyone and tell them, "Hey you, listen to this new song from Machel, it is the bomb!"
After all is said and done, fans are just excited to hear Machel's voice on new music for an upcoming carnival. We believe that people will like the song, but it really does not pack a punch. It is a good song, just not an exciting song to 'call home about'.
