Please note that Kinetic will be featured on Island Vybe radio on January 20, 2024. Watch the Table Talk Show, which is hosted by the wonderful and knowledgeable Niki G. Listen in, as we are your conduit to our culture in the Caribbean!
Kinetic is a US-based singing duo that has released their first offering for Carnival 2024 in Trinidad and Tobago. Originally from Trinidad, the team of Keston “De Chancellor” Harris and Kwasi “KHemSun” Jones delivers a catchy and energetic song that celebrates the spirit of carnival.
The song’s title, “Love Language," may suggest a romantic theme, but the lyrics reveal a different kind of love: the love for the culture and the fun of partying, feting, and having fun at Carnival 2024. One partner is a party animal, while the other is conservative and likes to stay home. The song invites the partner to join the celebration and express their love language through waving their rags, jumping, and dancing. In addition to the excellent music, the song pays homage to the history and diversity of Trinidad and Tobago; it is a celebration of our carnival culture, celebrated by a diverse cosmopolitan society.
The music is pure fire soca, composed by Rapid Entertainment, with a fast-paced and upbeat rhythm that matches the vocal style of the duo. The song features a host of live music instruments, such as bass, trumpet, trombone, and horns, that add richness and depth to the sound. The production is excellent, with additional work done by Lyon Road Production, Peter “WiLDXFiRE” Noel, and Garvin Marcele, who arranged the horns and recorded them at G Note Recording Studio.
This is an excellent production by Rapid Entertainment that features additional production, mixing, and mastering done by Lyon Road Production, Peter "WiLDXFiRE" Noel, and a host of live music instruments. Bass by Roots, trumpet by Charles Williams, trombone by Daniel Gill, with a special arrangement of the horns by Garvin Marcele that was recorded at G Note Recording Studio. Background vocals for "Love Language" were done by the multi-talented Peter "WiLDXFiRE" Noel and Trinibaby. There is so much to feel good about with this production.
The song is a great example of how soca music can be innovative and modern while still staying true to its roots and traditions. The song is sure to have an impact on Carnival 2024, especially when the radio stations put the song in rotation. We recommend this song to anyone who loves soca music or who wants to experience the vibe and energy of carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. This song is a must-have for your playlist!

Play Forever by Marge Blackman & Mical Teja | Jamoo Soca 2024
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
Originally posted on the blog Sokah2Soca (www.sokah2soca.com). We bring you only the best new music, while Islandvbye Radio rocks it live on the air!
One of the latest Soca songs to hit the airwaves is “Play Forever” by Marge Blackman and Mical Teja, two talented artists from Trinidad and Tobago. The song is part of Marge Blackman’s debut album “Day & Night”, which was released in October 2023 featuring thirteen songs. The album is available on all major platforms including Apple Music
Mical Teja is a versatile producer, singer, and songwriter who has collaborated with many Soca stars and has one of the hottest releases for Carnival 2024 titled, "DNA".
“Play Forever” is a song that celebrates the joy of living in the moment and sharing it with someone special. The lyrics are simple but heartfelt, expressing the desire to play, dance, and love forever with the person who makes them happy. The interaction is more like a conversation between two people seeking something:
Marge B:
Mhm, Aha
You want to play forever
Mhm, Aha
That dey go raise my pressure
Teja:
Mhm, Aha
I want to play forever
Ooo, Aha
Ah doh mean to make yuh suffer
Unrequited love can be painful, leaving one person sick with a case of the blues, aka “tabanka”! But alas, in this Jamoo love conversation, Marge stands firm and will not tolerate her lover wanting to have it all. Sometimes experiencing the pain of loving and losing someone can become a liberating experience.
Musically: The music is upbeat and lively, with a catchy hook and a groovy bassline. The song also features some Jamoo influences, pioneered by the Blackman family. The song has a festive vibe that can make anyone feel good and want to join the party.
“Play Forever” is a song that captures the essence of Jamoo Soca music: a celebration of life, love, and happiness. It is a song that can inspire anyone to live in the present and enjoy every moment with the people they care about. It is a song that can make anyone want to play forever.
We recommend this song not simply because it is a feel-good song but because the back-and-forth between the singers feels so real. It feels like two people trying to sort out their feelings for each other in this crazy world we live in. Well done...

Hold onto your hats, Soca fam, because Bunji Garlin, the undisputed Ragga Soca champion and current Road March Champion, has dropped a fiery new track guaranteed to melt even the frostiest of hearts. "Daiz You" isn't just a song; it's a declaration, a playful middle finger to anyone who dares turn their nose up at the infectious rhythm and uninhibited joy of Soca. Yes, you can say it out loud, Bunji destroys all Soca music haters with this one titled, "Daiz You".
This ain't your average Soca tune. Sure, the Brooklyn Decent production lays down a groove as smooth as silk, with that signature Soca bounce that just begs you to move. Kasey Phillips and Rob Domos engineer the vibe to pure fire, and Precision Productions polishes it to a diamond shine. But it's Bunji's lyrical mastery that truly sets this track ablaze:
How you say you don't like Soca when women bend over?
You don't like Soca, daiz you
You don't like it, daiz you
Daiz you, Daiz you, Daiz you
He spits his words like molten lava, a rap flow so cool it should come with its own warning label. He addresses the haters head-on, those who claim Soca isn't "real music," those with stiff joints and closed minds. But listen closely, because Bunji throws shade with the precision of a seasoned sniper, his message is clear: Your dislike means nothing. Yes, Daiz You!
He paints a picture of Soca's magic, the way it frees your soul, gets your body bouncing and connects you to a community pulsating with life. He speaks of "whining" not as a silly dance move, but as a deep immersion in the rhythm, a release of all inhibitions. And for those who can't "flow with the vibe," Bunji offers a knowing chuckle and a shrug: Their loss.
"Daiz You" is more than just a track; it's a celebration of Soca's unapologetic spirit. It's a reminder that joy, rhythm, and community are powerful forces that transcend negativity. Bunji, the true Ragga Soca king, lays down his claim with the swagger of a champion, reminding us all why Soca reigns supreme.
So crank up the volume, grab your friends, and let "Daiz You" wash over you. If you can't feel the fire in your soul, the urge to move your body, then maybe, it's you, not Soca, that needs a little adjusting. But for the rest of us, Bunji's got the soundtrack to our lives, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Ready to ignite your Soca flame? "Daiz You" is waiting. Get ready to whine, jump, and sing along, because Bunji Garlin has just shown us why he's the king.
