Just "Fuh Spite," we are back with Kes the Band and their anthem from January 2023. Today they debuted the official music video, just in time for Carnival 2024. Yes, we are aware that this is unusual to repackage and post again, but this is Kes, and Kes can do no wrong.
The music video presents the music and culture that we love so much. As much as the song tells a story, the video presentation adds color and life to the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. We love the vibe, and even though it is a song we know from Carnival 2023, we think it will do just fine for Carnival 2024! Enjoy...

Damn, Bunji, and these thought-provoking songs. Once again, Bunji has penned a song that people are talking about. Most of the time people say they love the song simply because it sounds good (to them) but sometimes the lyrics simply get overlooked. What do you think about the lyrics for this one? The vibe is right and it feels good but the lyrics...
This is a hit of Miss Ok Bunji, here is our take on the events taking place in this song:
If you think that I am all about you or even thinking about you, please don't flatter yourself and your importance. I respect you, and maybe you are accustomed to thinking that everything said or done around you is about you. No, I was not even thinking about you!
You imagined eyes boring into your back, dissecting every twitch and nervous move, making you so self-conscious. Your mind is spinning stories, weaving conversations from snippets of laughter and perceived glances your way.
In reality, the situation and scene are buzzing with their own oblivious symphony, unaware of the silent drama playing out in your head, where even a glance in your direction becomes a coded message or taunt.
Your mind became a twisted prism, bent every ray of attention into a searing beam of scrutiny, turning the harmless hum of everyday life into a cacophony of perceived judgment.

"The Last" was recently released for Trinidad and Tobago's 2024 carnival celebrations. The song features DJ Private Ryan and College Boy Jesse. This song reminds me of my late brother-in-law, who passed away from COVID-19 complications in 2020. He always said to me, "One life to live, Panda, party hard!"
This post states the obvious, and if you were not paying attention, it (The Last) focuses on appreciating the present moment and making the most of life. It reminds listeners that life is short and unpredictable, so we should cherish every moment and celebrate each other.
The song features an upbeat tempo, a catchy beat, and vibrant instrumentation typical of Soca. Both DJ Private Ryan and College Boy Jesse bring their distinct styles to the song, blending DJ Ryan's energetic production with College Boy Jesse's smooth vocals.
We will conclude this post with the following: live, love, and be happy because we don't know what tomorrow has in store for us!

"Monsters" by Bunji Garlin, released in December 2023 on the Nicely Riddim for Trinidad and Tobago's 2024 Carnival. It is a dynamic and thought-provoking song with multiple interpretations and layers.
The song's message is open to interpretation and here are our thoughts. We invite you to try and decipher this lyrical master's ability to weave lyrical magic using our cultural identity.
The lyrics seem to address societal issues, with "monsters" potentially representing corrupt systems, negative influences, or social injustices that need to be confronted and overcome.
Despite the challenges, the song celebrates human strength and the will to fight back against these "monsters." The song's production complements the lyrical themes. The "Nicely Riddim" provides a driving beat and energetic base, while Bunji Garlin's powerful vocals and the layered instrumentation add depth and complexity.
It's important to remember that the song's meaning can be interpreted differently by different listeners. This adds to its richness and allows for individual reflection and connection with the themes presented.
Overall, "Monsters" is a thought-provoking song that speaks to social issues, resilience, and the power of unity. It's a powerful addition to Bunji Garlin's repertoire and should resonate with audiences for its message and musicality. We recommend this song not because it is from the lyrical master, Bunji Garlin, but because it is full of vibe and thought-provoking lyrical content.
