>No fillers. No slowdown. Just raw, high‑energy Trini Soca pressure.  

 

This captivating calypso, arguably a timeless song, resonates deeply with listeners, fostering contemplation and discussion about moral integrity and collective responsibility. Ah, collective responsibility seems wrapped up in selfish ideals. In today's world, with so much bitterness and narrow-minded  individuals, it's vital to remember the importance of standing up for the voiceless and nurturing a society built on compassion and justice.

“No Conscience” is a straight, hard‑hitting calypso from Kerice Pascall, written by Kurt Allen and produced by Kenny Phillips at KMP Music Studios. The song calls out a society where wrongdoers move bold and unbothered and where empathy seems to be fading fast. As the older folks would say, "they are too damn salop!" 

Kerice sings about a world on the verge of collapse, highlighting failing systems, growing indifference, and individuals ignoring abuse and injustice. The idea of building on "sinking sand" deepens the sense of collapse. Furthermore, it’s a reminder that when conscience disappears, everything else starts to collapse. “No Conscience” identifies and rightly  condemns those who cover up abuse and wrongdoing. The lyrical master shines with this Calypso poetry. 

This composition, written by our modern-day griot, Last Bardjohn of Calypso, is calypso doing what calypso does best—holding up a mirror and urging us to do better. We approve of the message, love the emotion of the singer and approve of the production. Now, let's act as if we are in the revered calypso tent and say, "Kaiso, Kaiso?" Yes, Kaiso!

 

Life is funny, yes—but people can be cruel in ways that still surprise you. I came across Benjai’s new track, “Drivah,” and while it’s a simple song on the surface, the lyrics capture a very real moment: a Jouvay morning in Trinidad, one of those fleeting, unforgettable slices of Carnival life.

 

A calypso calling Parliament/Parliamentarians to account

 

Roxy Singh steps into the 2026 calypso conversation with “Enough is Enough,” a song that echoes the spirit of Lystra Nurse’s Dream Sellers while carving its own path. Instead of targeting campaign‑trail promises or the usual political theatrics, Roxy goes straight to the source—the Parliamentarians themselves, the elected officials who hold real power and too often forget who they are meant to serve.

 

Written by Mr. Treldon Layne and produced, mixed, and mastered by Ebony Sound Factory out of Moruga, Trinidad, this calypso is built on a foundation of accountability. Roxy calls out the cycle of promises, self‑interest, and political convenience that has become “politics as usual.” Her delivery is earnest, her message pointed, and her focus unwavering: leadership must answer to the people.

 

Yet, for all its clarity and conviction, Enough is Enough feels like one of those calypsos that may struggle to find favor with judges or even the wider listening public. It’s socially conscious, yes—but not flashy, not theatrical, and not engineered for competition. It’s a truth‑telling calypso in a season that often rewards spectacle over substance. After all is said and done... it's showtime, and that, right there is the problem!

 

Still, songs like this matter. They keep the tradition honest. They remind us that calypso’s backbone has always been commentary, courage, and calling things by name.
