Kes has just dropped a new Soca track titled "Medicine," and it's already making waves! Written by the talented trio of Kes, Tano, and Mical Teja, and produced by Tano, this song is a welcome addition to the Soca scene, especially as we kick off the weekend.
Kes has always been known for their infectious beats and vibrant energy, and "Medicine" continues that tradition. However, it might take a few listens to fully appreciate the nuances of this track. While the music has a smooth flow, some fans might find it doesn't immediately grab them with the same excitement as previous hits.
That said, "Medicine" is still a solid song with outstanding potential. The collaboration between Kes, Tano, and Mical Teja brings a fresh dynamic to the track, and Tano's production ensures a polished sound. Although it may not be the most thrilling song immediately, it's definitely worth giving it a chance to grow on you.
What do you think about this latest release from Kes? Do you agree that it takes a bit to get into, or did it hit you right away?
Addendum:
"The more I listen to Kes' new release, 'Medicine,' the more I'm loving it! This track is a true gem, blending Kes' signature Soca vibes with fresh, catchy beats. The collaboration with Tano and Mical Teja brings a unique flavor that keeps me hitting replay. The live musical instruments are awesome: the guitars, bass, and horns all come together to create a sound that's both familiar and excitingly new. Kes never disappoints, and 'Medicine' is no exception. If you haven't given it a listen yet, you're definitely missing out!

Carnival leaves a lasting impression on our hearts. Year after year, the music of the carnival and the revelers in the streets fade into the distance, but the memories remain, buried deep within us, ready for recall. The vibrant parade of colors, the energy, the pulsating rhythms—all these elements come together to form the collective joy we yearn to relive.
Enter "Can't Live Without You" by College Boy Jesse and Super Blue—an anthem that captures the very essence of those cherished memories and revitalizes our love for Carnival.
From the first note to the last beat, the song is a nostalgic journey that reminds us of unforgettable moments. Specifically, the video images for this track transport us back to the period when Super Blue dominated South Trinidad during Calypso Fiesta. "Can't Live Without You" is more than just a song; it's a vibrant celebration of the festival's spirit, a testament to the memories that define us.
There is so much more than just the memories this music will help create. "Can't Live Without You" showcases the collaborative genius of writers James Morgan, Jesse Stewart, and the legendary Austin "Super Blue" Lyons. Produced by the talented Swayne Jn Baptiste and JameesyPMusic, this track delivers a fresh yet familiar vibe that echoes the past while embracing the present. Mark Wright @ Studio3 expertly handled the mixing, and Johann Seaton finished the mastering to create this memorable song.
Here is our genuine opinion about this song. What truly stands out is the reflection on Carnival's past, woven seamlessly into the energetic beats of today. The song is bound to resonate with fans of College Boy Jesse and especially longtime admirers of Super Blue. Despite any changes in his voice, Super Blue's unparalleled ability to evoke the Soca Baptiste spirit and energize the crowd remains intact.
We love the infectious rhythm and evocative lyrics of "Can't Live Without You." It's more than a tune; it's an invitation to dance, remember, and celebrate.
But don't just take our word for it—immerse yourself in this musical celebration and let us know what you think!

In a musical landscape often dominated by Soca and Calypso, there's a fresh breeze blowing from the Caribbean island of Dominica. Bouyon music is on the verge of sweeping Trinidad and Tobago. At the forefront of this musical revolution is Shelly & Signal Band with their electrifying track "Calendar Riddim."
Bouyon music exudes a vibrant and energetic sound, drawing inspiration from the entire Caribbean basin. It is a genre that emerged in the late '80s in Dominica and is a vibrant fusion of traditional and contemporary Caribbean sounds. It combines elements of Soca, Dancehall, and Calypso, resulting in a unique rhythmic energy that is hard to ignore. "Calendar Riddim" captures this essence perfectly.
The songwriter and the singer are the driving forces behind this music. "Calendar Riddim" is the brainchild of songwriter Sheldon Alfred, whose creative genius shines through every beat and lyric. Performed by the talented Shelly, this song is a testament to the dynamic range and charisma that Bouyon artists bring to the table. The track's infectious energy and captivating rhythms captivate listeners from the moment it begins.
The energy of the people flows through this music. "Calendar Riddim" exudes energy from the very first note to the very last. The pulsating beats and catchy melodies make it impossible not to move. Playing this song at full volume is a must, whether you're at a fête, a beach party, or simply driving with the windows down. The song perfectly captures the essence of happiness and freedom.
This is going to be an intense competition between Power Soca and Bouyon. The key factors to consider are speed and vibe. At Sokah2Soca, we understand that the listening public in Trinidad and Tobago is not familiar with Bouyon music, but we do know that they love music with a vibe. As a result, we believe that as Calendar Riddim" gains traction, it's poised to create a significant impact in Trinidad and Tobago, the heartland of Soca music. Music lovers on the island are set to experience the unique flavor of Bouyon. It's more than just a song; it's a cultural exchange, a musical bridge between two vibrant Caribbean traditions.
This should be a significant and impactful day when Bouyon finds a home in Trinidad and Tobago. Shelly & Signal Band are not just making music; they're making history. "Calendar Riddim" is more than just a hit—it's a movement. It's about showcasing the richness of Bouyon and introducing it to new audiences. Trinidad and Tobago are about to get a Bouyon lesson, and it's going to be one for the books.
So, turn up the volume, let the rhythms of "Calendar Riddim" take over, and get ready to dance. Shelly & Signal Band are here to make sure you feel every beat and enjoy every moment. Bouyon music is here, and it's here to stay.
