When a song has a good vibe, I don't need to listen to it a few times to have it 'grow on me'! This song has an irresistible vibe, which is why it caught my attention. Bajan music producers are consistently doing the right thing and using live instruments to make music. They are not hooked on programmed musical notes. That, right there, adds richness to the final sound, the sweet vibe. The song flows naturally, with live instrumentation that evokes warmth and nostalgia. Each element—from the rich brass to the gentle basslines—feels deliberate and soulful. Anthony Lowhar’s mixing and mastering at CMI Barbados elevate that richness, creating an immaculate soundscape that balances clarity with character.

From the moment I heard the music, I found the sonic spirit especially haunting, as it is reminiscent of  De Red Boyz sound. If you are a fan of  De Red Boyz, you would realize that it is a sound deeply etched into Barbados’ musical DNA. It is musical flattery when someone creates music that has the feel of another production team.  Different but reminiscent. 

Tae has potential, and we expect that she could become one of the leading singers in the Caribbean region. Her vocals, while confident, have an intimate feel. She absolutely captures the moment and is in control throughout the performance. Her presence on this record commands attention, radiating warmth and charisma without ever having to shout. Her effortless vocal flow deserves praise, especially considering how many singers do an injustice to their own vocals. 

We applaud this music release because, for some reason, the market is flooded with high-octane, fast-paced releases; "True Colors" invites a slower and more reflective groove similar to the musical style of Trinidad's Groove Soca music releases. 

We like it. And if your ears crave that sweet spot between tradition and innovation, chances are you’ll love it too.

We don't want to alarm you or get you too excited but shhh, 'Carnival 2026 is coming and events are already scheduled. Yes, Carnival is coming—and Sokah2Soca is your backstage pass to every beat, every band, and every big release leading to the greatest show on earth. ???
