Are you feeling the vibe that is beginning to captivate the hearts and minds of Trinidadians? It is carnival time again, and new music from DJ Private Ryan is a welcome sign that things are about to explode musically. DJ Private Ryan and Terri Lyons have released a new song today, "Forward"! We think you are going to enjoy this one. 

 

The direction of the music can sometimes condense and capture the energy and vibe of Soca in a feeling of euphoria. This song peels away complicated music production and lays bare a rhythm that is clothed in Baptist rhythms and chants that celebrate the rich cultural heritage of our homeland, Trinidad and Tobago. DJ Private Ryan's production is excellent, making this one a 'take note of' musical experience. 

 

Most readers of this blog are aware that Terri Lyons is my favorite female vocalist out of Trinidad and Tobago. The reason I love to listen to her started with "Smile," a song she did with Ataklan, but then she showed her versatility as a Calypsonian, a superb Soca singer, and also someone who can sing just about anything. She is awesome on stage and delivers live performances with excellence. When you listen to "Forward," the rhythm of the music production initially captivates you, but Terri's soothing yet powerful vocals captivate you without you realizing it. Terri's mesmerizing vocals and her ability to add emotion to the listening experience are evident throughout this song. I am confident that Terri's fans will surely have a lot to say in support of this production. 

 

This is just another Soca music release; it is a celebration of life, music, and culture of a people who have given so much to the world. We belong to a small island, but our creativity has given back so much that our culture is a standout in the Caribbean Basin. 

 

Yes, it's carnival time again, a time to let go of all inhibitions. This is a moment when the genuine cultural identity of the people becomes evident. So, as we move "Forward" with DJ Private Ryan and Terri Lyons, let's celebrate life. Let's live, love, be happy, and simply celebrate the joy of life. It is Carnival time again, and with this new music release from DJ Private Ryan x Terri Lyons, we are ready for Mas!

Now there are four songs from the album titled "Big Links Riddim." This album features songs by Full Blown, Kes, and Machel Montano, all of which have a unique flavor that will appeal to fans of Soca music throughout the Caribbean Basin and North America. However, what truly impresses me is the unexpected vocal performance by Yung Bredda. This is not about his signature call of "What are you doing?" This is a highlight of any stage appearance or recording he does with other Soca artists. He showed that he has the talent to sing, something many Soca artists fail miserably at. While the lyrical content may not be exceptional, every song requires a compelling hook to capture attention and become a hit. We believe we have found that hook in this song. See how the song uses it after reading this. I'm confident that you will be singing these lines when the music begins!

 

"She Say take it easy

I will do the work

You doh have to

Wine up yuhself

You doh have to 

Wild up yuhself."

 

With this release, Yung Bredda has truly excelled, showcasing his incredible talent and captivating the crowd with his unique sound. There is no doubt that this vocal style will assist with Yung Bredda's demand. He will no longer be seen as a hypeman, an energy boost to bring on a star performer, but will be someone who has a place on stage with the crowd coming to see him perform and not just look forward to his carefree spirit to light up the stage. We trust the artist and have been intrigued by this song. We want to hear more and to see if he can deliver songs that will get him to the level of Preedy, Voice, and, dear, we say, Kes and Machel.

 

We are here to witness the rise of a star as it begins. What do you think? It's not just about the song but also about the artist's ability to showcase a different aspect of his vocal skills. Tell us what you think.
