Lady Aisha has a belly full of laughs in store for you. She returns with a playful, story‑driven calypso titled Wrong Order, a cheeky take on mix‑ups, expectations, and surprises in the world of modern dating. The song follows her humorous tale of requesting an “ageable man” to ease her loneliness—only to receive a much younger match instead. Clearly, she puts in an order for an “ageable man”… The dating agency mixed up her order and she got more than she could handle... Licks and steamy endings!

 

What follows is a hilarious tale of getting more than you ordered: wink, wink! She was disappointed at the start, but that disappointment quickly turned into a twist she didn’t expect, delivered with Lady Aisha’s trademark boldness and theatrical flair. It’s a straightforward double‑entendre piece, lighthearted and built for audience reaction rather than subtlety.

 

Early listeners commenting on the YouTube post are already embracing the fun of it, and many are excited to hear how it lands in the calypso tent. As always, calypso finds a way to spark conversation, laughter, and surprise—and Wrong Order is shaping up to do just that.

In her newly released calypso, Ah Nation on Medication, Shirlanee Hendrickson offers a deceptively simple yet piercing reflection on Trinidadian life.  The song's message is basic: she states that every nation has its problems, but in Trinidad, we meet ours with a peculiar mix of complaint, humor, and resignation. The production by Jr. Soy Production Studios is lively and foot-tapping, making this one a song that will eventually 'creep up on you!'

 

She explains that this is a Trini thing and  that “we like it so.” It’s a well-known Trini phrase about how we complain about just everything on a daily basis—griping about issues yet accepting them as part of the rhythm of daily life. Rather than dramatize or despair, the singer frames the nation’s response as one of quiet endurance, likening it to taking a Tylenol or Panadol.  As simple as the message is, the idea is clear: medication dulls the pain but doesn’t cure the cause, and in the same way, society finds ways to cope without demanding any major attitude change. 

 

This calypso is not about grand solutions or fiery protest. Instead, it mirrors the everyday attitude of “such is life.” It’s a commentary on resilience, but also on complacency—how a people can normalize dysfunction while still finding joy in the music, the humor, and the shared experience of survival. C'est la vie!

 

Shirlanee’s delivery is light; the video makes everything look humorous with contorted facial expressions, making the message resonate beyond politics or policy. A simple song? Listening to her rendition, one may think so, but listen carefully and you will understand that it is a  reminder that calypso thrives not only on sharp satire but also on capturing the subtle ironies of Caribbean living.

 

Ah Nation on Medication is a mirror held up to Trinidadian society: witty, understated, and deeply familiar. It asks us to reflect on whether our coping mechanisms are a strength or a weakness—and whether “liking it so” is a cultural badge of resilience or a symptom of deeper malaise.

 

Oh my goodness, the myth of the Trini Smart Man just got debunked by Chromatics! "Land of the Smart Man" is a hilarious song that guarantees a belly full of laughter—I absolutely love it!  This song is a sharp cultural commentary wrapped in an old‑school calypso feel. Written and sung by Chromatics, produced by DJ Sly Dx Artist, and featuring background vocals by Sherisse Collymore, the track draws on the Trinidadian archetype of the “Smart Man”—the scoundrel, hustler, or trickster who thrives on deception and opportunism.

 

Cultural Resonance is crucial. Of course we knew what a 'smart man' was, but we went online for the dirt and came up with the following bullet points:

• In Trinidadian slang, a “Smart Man” is not a compliment. It describes:
• Deceptive opportunists who exploit trust for personal gain.
• Small‑time hustlers selling fake tickets or promises.
• Corrupt figures who manipulate systems for profit.
• Respectable pretenders who look polished but hide dishonest motives.

Chromatics employs this archetype to create a vivid portrayal of a society where trickery is normalized, reflecting the everyday frustrations of citizens living in what many refer to as a “smart‑man society.”

 

The production notes highlight the musical elements, reflecting our interpretation of the song's feel.

• Andre Tanker’s “Linstead Market” sample grounds the track in Trinidad’s musical heritage, bridging folk tradition with modern commentary.
• The intro and outro's guitar strumming harkens back to the golden age of calypso, a period when rhythm and wit effectively conveyed storytelling.
• Sherisse Collymore’s harmonies add warmth and depth, balancing Chromatics’ sharp lyrical delivery.
• DJ Sly Dx Artist’s production blends old and new, keeping the groove rooted yet fresh.

This isn't just an ordinary calypso. Oh hell no, it is Caribbean-style storytelling that feels like you are at home in a backyard lime and someone is strumming a guitar and telling this very compelling story. CChromatics is not just a radio host; he is one of Trinidad’s most talented artists, possessing a unique gift for narrative calypso storytelling. His voice carries both critique and celebration, exposing the scoundrels while honoring the resilience of ordinary people. The approval of the song by listeners underscores its cultural weight: it serves as both a throwback and a timely reminder of the challenges Trinidadians face.

 

This project feels like a modern calypso parable—a reminder that wit, rhythm, and sharp social commentary remain the backbone of Trinidadian music. I keep saying it, but I have to repeat: I am so pleased to have created Kaiso Dial to feature Calypso music alongside our sister blog, Sokah2Soca. Kaiso, Kaiso... Yes, Kaiso!
