AMBI - WARRIOR
“I am the prince of soca/tell them
me no fear no boy” sings Ambi on “Warrior”, the title track off the Dutch
Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Warrior Riddim. The song is written by Ambroise
Joseph; written and produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis. This is a bacchanal
check with the artiste who with his second place finish in the 2012 Power Soca
Monarch let all know he can more than handle himself on a
power soca stage. Like a true “Warrior”, Ambi warns you “caan stop my shine”
and that he and his army are “out for carnival/ we bad for bacchanal”. The mission is to mash up the place and Ambi
takes no prisoners reminding all of his past exploits and the prowess that will
make him do more. Are you a “Warrior”…then battle on in the name of soca and
Saint Lucia Carnival.
MONGSTAR - COOLER
On the eve of the Just 4 Fun Cooler Lime,
Mongstar, the artiste who brought us a new Saint Lucia anthem with “Saint Lucia
We Love” has done the same with “Cooler”. Written by Marley James and produced
by Courtney “Curty” Louis, “Cooler” is off the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere
Muzic Warrior Riddim. Turning the concept of rags flying for soca music on its
head, Mongstar is challenging all to raise your cooler instead – reminding that
anything can be made into a cooler from washing machine to basket and casket.
This is also about the lime as well so he sings, “We
dipping in any cooler/take anyting”. But because Saint Lucia Carnival
eventually moves to the road, “Cooler” caters as well with “when
you see we on the road/all we want is a cooler/ all we want is a cooler/and we
pressure overload.” Cooler check time Saint Lucia, so bacchanalists and soca
freaks raise your cooler and let’s all get it good for the vaval.
SERGIE - CHOCK
There are still women in soca
music. And we are not just talking groovy but power as well. Sergie more than
aptly demonstrates that on “Chock” off the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic
Warrior Riddim. More than holding her own with the male artistes on the Riddim,
the 2011 Piton Soca Starz champion asks “Who runs the world” in much the same
vein the Queen B did on her pop release years ago. Written by Marley James,
Daesean Germaine and Courtney “Curty” Louis, “Chock” is also produced by Louis. “I
is woman/ I not afraid of no man/right now is competition/ they call me
underdog/I go defend my slogan together with every woman” is the bravado of a
female who knows her place in this soca game. Calling on her female army she
says “now twist and make it turn” and warns the males is chock that’s in their
future – delivered straight from her!
