Despite my efforts to deny it, I find myself increasingly drawn to you. Damn, just thinking about this takes me back to my youth, when love was characterized by daydreaming and fanciful notions of falling in love. Even though those days have passed, we still have the opportunity to dream and experience love once more. People often say that maintaining a youthful mind can lead to a youthful body, and this may indeed be the case. The dreams of a young man navigating the contours of love are complicated indeed, and maybe—just maybe—in so doing, life can feel sweeter.

 
Who is talking to whom in this song? Perhaps Kes is expressing his longing for a moment when he can gaze into the eyes of someone special. Finding the right words to express, "I need you in my life, and every inch of my being yearns to be near you," can be challenging, leading to the proverbial "frog in the throat!" Isn't this the essence of love? Love is love, but at times, it can be complex, and yes, it must be repeated, very complicated. Therefore, I will continue to dream, and perhaps even embarrass myself, as all I desire is for you to simply say, "Talk to me, my love."

When the spirits of your ancestors call, you have to answer! Just as it was with Super Blue and his Baptist chants from the early days, so too is Mical Teja now answering to a higher power! African slaves worshipped the "spirits of their ancestors" long before Christian indoctrination, and Teja has channeled that energy for this carnival. Beware, Road March Soca music contenders; Teja, the reigning Road March Champion, has unleashed a stunning performance to secure his title for Carnival 2025. Now let's get to it. 
 
The time has come to see if anyone can dethrone the reigning champion, Mical Teja! His latest Power Soca anthem, "Higher Power," is more than just a song—it's a spiritual journey that taps into the essence of his ancestors and reaches out to a higher power! 
 
Who’s Behind the Magic? Mical Teja & Michael "Tano" Montano brilliantly penned "Higher Power," Tano produced it, and Kevin "Vexmoney" Beharry expertly mixed and mastered it.
 
Why Do We Love It? We fell in love with it from the first listen! The vibes are immaculate, the energy is electric, and the music, inspired by Baptist chants, draws you in from the start. You can't resist moving to this captivating track.
 
Our concluding observations about "Higher Power" are clear, precise, and to the point. This song presents significant challenges for the competitors. It's not only trouble in Arima, as Lord Kitchener said so long ago, but trouble for all contenders! Teja's exceptional talent has revolutionized the field, ensuring his dominance for years to come.
 
So, contenders, the challenge is on! Who is capable of stepping up and securing the victory? Let the Road March battle begin!

Damn, what have you done, MM? This song is total fire! If you thought Carnival 2025 couldn't get any more electrifying, think again! The undisputed King of Soca, Machel Montano, has teamed up with the sensational Davido to bring us "Fling it Up," a song that will undoubtedly be the heartbeat of this year's festivities. Everything feels positive about this music release. Let's dive in and share our excitement for this new music release with you.
 
Everyone experiences excitement when a song resonates deeply. However, the heart and soul of the music remain unknown to most people who fall in love with the song. Only those 'who want to know' seek out that information. So let's drop some flowers here for those responsible for this awesome song. Penned by the dynamic team of Kevon Hart, Kory Hart, Michael “Tano” Montano, Machel Montano, David Adedeji Adeleke, and Jessy Eze Oliver, this track is a masterclass in collaboration. The production, helmed by Tano and Full Blown Entertainment, is nothing short of stellar, with Leandro "Dro" Hidalgo's expert touch in mixing and mastering adding that final polished vibe you are feeling so good about as you listen.
 
We love saying, "We love the vibe of the song," but why? "Fling it Up" is more than just a song; it's an experience. Keep that in mind—experience, vibe, or feel—as you read this post and listen to the music. With a vibe that's sweeter than a carnival cocktail and a production that's tighter than your favorite pair of fête shoes, this track is set to send fans into a frenzy. The lyrical content celebrates everything we love about Carnival, including dancing, feasting, and having an incredible time.
 
Have we said enough? Hell no! You might be wondering why Sokah2Soca loves this song so much. Why is Sokah2Soca so enamored with this song? You can sense the excitement from the very first beat. The musical flow is impeccable, ensuring that "Fling it Up" will dominate the airwaves and run up the charts. The infectious energy and catchy chorus make it impossible not to dance along. The music suddenly overwhelms you, evoking a powerful emotional response. This is, without a doubt, Machel Montano's best entry for Carnival 2025.
 
Now take a deep breath; let's wrap this up with our final thoughts. "Fling it Up" is the party vibe—or, as some love to say, "party anthem," we've all been waiting for. With the combined star power of Montano and Davido, along with the incredible talent behind the scenes, this song has the potential to become the soundtrack of Carnival 2025. We absolutely love it, and we're sure you will too!
 
Did we overdo it? Now, all the haters can scratch their heads and contemplate our posts about Machel Montano. Why would we venture into unfamiliar territory with such a talented artist? After all, both Machel and Santiwah share the same birth month and day, 11/24! So, grab your flags, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to "Fling it Up" all Carnival long!

As meh grandmother used to say, "Mamayo, look ting!" The much-anticipated song "Resumé" by Kerwin Du Bois x Stemz has officially dropped, kicking off the new year with an electrifying start and waking up with a new vibrant feel after all the celebrations last night. Whether you're preparing for the vibrant festivities of Carnival 2025 or simply seeking to ignite your playlist, this track will ignite your musical soul! Trust us, you'll have it on replay mode in no time!
 
Written by Kerwin Du Bois & Kris Fields, "Resumé" showcases the seamless blend of Kerwin's signature style and Kris's lyrical prowess. Stemz at @Stemz Productions masterfully crafts the production, creating an infectious rhythm that is impossible to resist. Johann Seaton of the renowned Madmen Productions has impeccably handled the final mixing and mastering, adding that polished finish that sets this track apart.
 
At Sokah2Soca, the music must be captivating from the moment it starts; this particular piece succeeded in doing so. We were immediately entranced. However, we loved this song for more than just its music. One of the standout elements of "Resumé" is Kerwin's vocal performance. His voice flows effortlessly with the pulsating beats, delivering a performance that's both dynamic and emotive. Accompanying him with stellar backup vocals is Nathaniel "Simbaarley" Rivet-Leigertwood, whose name might be mouthful, but his talent is undeniable. His backing vocals add a rich layer of depth to the track, making it a truly immersive auditory experience.
 
Why have you already set up the red carpet for this song? As Carnival enthusiasts, we resonate deeply with Kerwin's love for bacchanal. This song encapsulates that spirit perfectly, bringing together the energy, excitement, and unbridled joy that define the Carnival season. The song is captivating from beginning to end, evoking the excitement of the forthcoming celebrations as we listen.
 
So, as we usher in 2025, let's celebrate with the sensational release of "Resumé" by Kerwin Du Bois x Stemz. This track is more than just a song; it's an experience. It's a celebration of life, music, and culture. 
 
Yes, what a way to start the New Year; we love it all. Now, let's gather ourselves. Let's 'tun-up' the volume and make it clear to everyone: "Resumé" is total vibes; it is a perfect fit for Carnival 2025!
