Well, well, well... it's Iwer again, and this time he found himself in a water-drenched situation because of the use of the national anthem for his latest music endeavor titled "Happy People." This song was released on November 17, 2023, for the upcoming 2024 carnival celebrations. "Happy People" is a production of KMC (Ken Marlon Charles) and written by KMC and Iwer.
It goes without saying that the audience was bound to be outraged by his use of the national anthem to open his song. But according to the national publication, Trinidad Express, things got interesting, leading to the Prime Minister commenting on the song. The news outlet reported that the Prime Minister of the country, Dr. Keith Rowley stated: "I would rather the national anthem not be treated that way.”
Iwer and his production team must have known that using the anthem would have created a controversial situation, and would negatively impact many in the general public and then some. Well, well, well, he got the message and re-released the song without the anthem. Good for Iwer, and now we move on and await his next 'Water' song.
The rest is up to you. The voice of the people will determine the outcome—the success or failure—of the much-talked-about song by KMC and Iwer. Love it or hate it. What is your opinion?

Carnival is a time of fun and having a good time. As the festival approaches, many plan ahead and daydream of their party time to come. Patrice takes us on that journey—time to pretend and imagine what is to come.
“Let’s Pretend” by Patrice Roberts is a whimsical and enchanting song that invites listeners to escape into a world of imagination and playfulness for carnival. With its gentle rhythm and evocative lyrics, the track encourages us to let go of reality and embrace the magic of make-believe while on the road, whining and having a good time.
As the music dances like a breeze, we’re reminded of the joy that comes from pretending—whether it’s imagining fantastical adventures or reliving cherished memories.
Patrice Roberts’ vocals carry us on this delightful journey, and the song becomes a delightful soundtrack for moments of wonder and daydreams. Phew, that video! That, my friends, is what daydreams are made of—time to pretend!

Today we present a new song from Olatunji produced by De Red Boyz; this song has potential. In Olatunji's CalypSoca song "Inventor," there is an interesting build-up, but there is a catch: the music loops back to the beginning at 1:26, and the ending is a letdown!
This song has serious potential... I really like what I heard and will still recommend it... it is that good. I don't get it, these guys are professionals. How could they allow something like this to happen? It is unbelievable that De Red Boyz would allow an unfinished production to be distributed by JuliansPromos. I am flabbergasted!

Did you hear what Kerwin said? "Everything you want right here, we are the best over here, only the best over here!" Indeed, anything you want and just about everything you can imagine can be found in sweet Trinidad and Tobago for this upcoming carnival.
So just open your eyes; everything you want is right here in sweet Trinidad and Tobago. You know how Trinidadians like to brag! Well, now that you have your official bragging song, bragging rights are now enshrined in this song!
Just watch this song take off. As soon as the radio stations put this song on blast, it will become an anthem for all those bragging Trinidadians. We recommend this song; it is very catchy, and the lyrics will be on the lips of those bragging about Trinbago, and yes, themselves (all dem vain Trinis, lol)!
