I guess with the overcast and rainy weather in New York City today, I am in a reminiscing mood. So, after celebrating "No Tomorrow" by Kerwin and Adana, we turn our attention to the sensual Nadia Batson and her monster hit song "Endurance." She said it, "I come here to make you feel good!" No insurance needed, just plenty of vibes and a little endurance. The lyrics are sure to make you feel good and immerse yourself in the sensual atmosphere of Carnival. We love it. 
 
Can anyone keep up with this superstar Soca singer? She possesses all of the qualities that stardom brings, along with a winning smile and personality. She even has the ability to make your eyes roll up and your toes curl up. That is the true power of an excellent songwriter to bring it all out in the open with class.  Now if you're looking for a song that embodies pure vibes and feel-good energy, look no further than "Endurance" by the incredible talent that is Nadia Batson. Released for Carnival 2023, this track became a favorite for its infectious rhythm and uplifting lyrics. Yes, it is an impactful song, so much so that I felt compelled to repost it with Carnival 2025 on the horizon. 
 
Nadia really hit the sweet spot with "Endurance"; the melody, the excellent lyrics, and her captivating voice sealed the deal. To reiterate, the song's catchy beat and vibrant melody are perfect for any celebration, whether you're on the road for Carnival or just 'liming' with friends.
 
Indeed, "Endurance" remains timeless, a fitting accompaniment to any West Indian-style party with a carnival atmosphere. Let's keep the energy high as Carnival 2025 approaches. Feel free to share this post and spread all the love you can muster for Nadia Batson's excellent music. I know you love it, so why not press play and vibe with this hit song from Carnival 2023?

"If it was meant to be, I will find you; I go end up behind you, jamming right day behind you." There is more: "I want to behave the worst way; I want to give you meh worse wine, though it's the first time... take me down low, take me down slow"! I must admit, I absolutely adore this song! While browsing through new music releases on YouTube, I stumbled upon an old favorite, and yes, this song brought back fond memories. So here we are, I am damn sure posting this song again! "No Tomorrow," for me, is a standout track for 2020 by Kerwin Du Bois and Adana Roberts. Everything about this song is solid—the vocals, the music, and the music video (showcasing beautiful islands of Anguilla and Tobago)—100% perfect!
 
"No Tomorrow" shines brightly with pure joy and infectious energy. The music video captures the vibrant spirit, and sexy style of Adana in particular, showcasing their undeniable chemistry and passion for the music, the genre of Soca. Both Kerwin and Adana have what it takes to bring life to the visuals and along with the dynamic choreography add to the overall feel-good vibe to the music video. "No Tomorrow" brings a sense of euphoria, transporting listeners to a place where worries are left behind, and only the present moment matters. It's a reminder of the power of music to uplift and unite people, even in challenging times.
 
As we enjoy the infectious rhythm and positive energy of "No Tomorrow," we can't help but hope for more music like this from Kerwin Du Bois and Adana Roberts. Their collaboration has set a high bar, and fans eagerly await more tracks that bring the same level of joy and excitement. Here's to more anthems that make us dance like there's no tomorrow! Was it worth it? Would you like us to feature some of the songs that made your toes curl when you heard them? Hit us up and we will endeavor to make it happen.

Oh yes, the fun is about to start, and today we jump right in with the release of "Ben Ova Miss" by DJ Private Ryan, featuring the vocals of Mela Caribe and the energetic Yung Bredda. DJ Private Ryan's latest Soca hit, "Ben Ova Miss," will intensify the excitement of Carnival 2025. This track is an absolute energy booster, designed to make you move and groove from the first beat to the last.
 
There will be new music releases that will appeal to you for various reasons. Having said that, one has to admit that this song captures the energy of what Carnival is all about. Infectious rhythms and vibrant beats in the song truly capture the energy and feel of the people during carnival season.
 
Ryan is boss but look who he selected to bring the song to life. The sexy sounding voice of Mela Cariba and the young man who is always in your face asking, "What are you doing?" Well, he did it with this music release. In fact, they both did it with their unique styles and powerful voices on the track, creating a perfect blend of melody and energy.
 
Then comes the producer, DJ Private Ryan, with his boyish smile. DJ Private Ryan has gained international recognition for his exceptional carnival performances and his innovative approach to music production. He is also known for his ability to create unforgettable Soca anthems. DJ Private Ryan has once again delivered a track that will dominate the Carnival season.
 
So, are you ready to party hard? Are you ready to "Ben Ova Miss" for Carnival 2025. If you answered yes to one or both questions, then "Ben Ova Miss," the featured song for this post, is the perfect soundtrack to elevate your carnival experience. So, as we anticipate more excellent music being released to dance, celebrate, and enjoy the spirit of Carnival 2025, this song is the current bar that all new releases will have to hurdle for attention. We love it all. So go ahead, pump up the volume, and enjoy some excellent music vibes from Battalion Music.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised with Trinidad culture in his veins, Soca artist Taller Dan has a possible Soca anthem in the making. Soca fans, get ready to groove to Taller Dan's latest release, "The Prescription," just in time for Carnival 2025! This track is already making waves with its infectious rhythm and high-energy beats, but at just 2 minutes and 18 seconds, it leaves us craving more.
 
Stand back now because some serious 'jooking' is taking place for this prescription that Taller Dan has to 'endure'. Watch the video image of the young lady dancing, and as a seasoned West Indian, you will understand the lyrics' double entendre. This song serves as a teaser, a sensual melody with a dual meaning. If you are a serious individual, oh hell no, this song is just wicked, wink, wink, and the key is "One Jook and ah feeling better." She jook and she jook and she jook... but yuh, looking good, all that jooking makes sense now!" Need I say more...
 
I know you love the song, but we believe an extension is necessary for it. During our morning conversation with the Islandvybe Philly DJs, we talked about this song. In fact, the DJs intend to debut the song during today's broadcast. I challenged the DJs to remix and extend the song to at least 3 minutes. The infectious vibes of "Prescription" compel you to dance endlessly. However, its short duration might leave fans wanting more. By reworking the lyrics and extending the run time by an additional minute, Taller Dan can ensure that the song becomes a staple at parties and fetes across the Caribbean. An extended version would allow for more instrumental breaks, additional verses, or even a catchy bridge that keeps the energy high and the crowd engaged.
 
Extending "The Prescription" could significantly boost its popularity. Soca fans love tracks that they can lose themselves in, and a longer version would provide just that. Imagine the song playing at a carnival parade, with everyone dancing and singing along for an extra minute of pure joy. This could be the key to making "Prescription" a hit that resonates with Soca lovers everywhere.
 
Taller Dan has already given us a fantastic track with "The Prescription." He has the opportunity to elevate it to an even higher level of greatness by extending its runtime. Let's hope we get to enjoy an extended version soon, so we can keep the vibes going strong throughout Carnival 2025 and beyond!
 
What do you think? Would you love to hear a longer version of "The Prescription"? Let us know in the comments! Feel free to share your thoughts or any other suggestions for improving the song!
