Ricky T - Down De Road


The voice will not be recognizable at first, “Doh touch me/doh hold me.” You will begin to get a sense of who the singer is as the song continues, “Doh hold me/Doh squeeze me.” By the time you get to the next line, “Carnival time/Carnival, Carnival, Carnival time” you will know the singer stirring your soul is none other than the 2011 Groovy Soca Monarch Ricky T and his “Going Down De Road”. The song is written by Ricky Joseph and Courtney “Curty” Louis who produced the track for his Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic label; it is featured on the Saint Lucia Carnival 2013 Jump Over Riddim. This is grown up groovy music that will make you sit back and appreciate the musical range of Ricky T, a 5 time Road March King and 3 time Power Soca Monarch who is better known for his ability to stir a crowd into a frenzy than for stirring your musical soul with melody. That knowledge will not keep you from “Going Down De Road” however, as he takes a “whine, whine, whine…”

Superman HD - International J'ouvert [Bright Shadow Riddim]


Pringles Superman HD (International J'ouvert) (Bright Shadow Riddim) Produced By Thygeson (Penn) Joseph & Irvin (Ace) Loctar from Studio 758 for St. Lucia Carnival 2k13




Superman HD - Super Bacchanal



“Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" One year after the presentation that preceded his 2012 Power Soca Monarch title, when Superman HD responded to the call to save Carnival, he is back to do more of the same! On “Super Bacchanal” which is written by Eldon St Remy, Kwency Griffith and Courtney “Curty” Louis who also produced the track on his Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Junkie Bacchanal Riddim, Superman HD boldly pronounces, “I come to save the fete/nothing cannot stop we.” This is the first release for Saint Lucia Carnival 2013 from the reigning Power Soca King who during an April performance at the Opening of the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival demonstrated continued dominance of his craft and peers. “Super Bacchanal” will cause all fetes to “shake like an earthquake” because “Superman is here.” A lethal combination of music, sound and fury as Superman HD continues in his “never ending battle for truth, justice, and the Soca Way."

Rampage Riddim [Dutch Productions]


Ricky T - Mass Attack
he wait for Saint Lucia Carnival Power Soca 2013 has ended with “Mass Attack” from Ricky T. A winner of multiple Soca crowns including 3 Power Soca and 5 Road March titles- Ricky T is leading the charge on this Rampage Riddim from Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic. “Mass Attack” is written by Ricky Joseph and Marley James; produced by Courtney "Curty" Louis and Satish Mathurin. This one is for the ladies, a call to soca arms so to speak. It comes with easy to follow instructions and a power beat to guide that process along. It also reminds the ladies not to let anyone take them away from the right to fete during Carnival and if anyone tries they need to “kick down the front door.” The rhymes, the lyrical style is quintessentially Ricky T with his, “My girl you giving me heart attack/I will give you the mass attack.” This ode to the Saint Lucian ladies, “his babies” is guaranteed to soothe the power soca beast that hungers in all of us.


Mongstar & Ambi - Merry Go Round
Ladies, the object of “Merry Go Round” is to have you “whining in a circle/make that bumper tick tock from left to right in a circle.” Your posterior, you see must operate like a propeller. So say Mongstar and Ambi on “Merry Go Round” from the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Rampage Riddim. It is written by Ricky Joseph, Marley James and Ambroise Joseph and produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Satish Mathurin. The Riddim allows for the rapid word play that should translate into quick action per instructions. You, ladies are called upon to “give waist” in a way that leads to “everybody giving her space/the woman whining like propeller.” You dip, you spin, you rotate, all “like a merry go round” whether you are in a fete, club or on the road for Last Lap.


Platinum George - Soca Platinum Style
It is fast, furious and designed to get you into a soca frenzy. While other artistes may have a difficult time keeping up with a Riddim worthy to be called Rampage, such is not the case for Platinum George who rides it like an expert bull rider showing the animal, in this case a beat, who is boss of the ring. So adept is he, his song is called “Soca Platinum Style.” In it, the man known to make his mouth contort like your waist is called upon to do, says “Move/Move/Move” in “Soca Platinum Style” What is that you ask? It is “jumping up mad/we getting on bad/I want to see rag, rag, rag/we breaking down fete/everybody wet.” Written by George St Croix and Marley James, “Platinum Style” is featured on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Rampage Riddim that is produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Satish Mathurin.


Ambi - Local


Ambi, who refers to himself here as Ricky T’s little brother, has given a visitor so much “Local” banana, she no longer wants to return home. Featured on the Riddim of the same name, “Local” is written by Ambroise Joseph and Courtney “Curty” Louis who also produced the song for his Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic. A new release for Saint Lucia Carnival 2013, “Local” uses our best assets of sun, food and culture to sell the country to our all-important guests. Declares Ambi, “all she wants is local/ Local Banana.” This is Groovy Music from the artiste who came third in the 2012 Groovy Soca Monarch with “Roll”. No stranger to the Groovy Winner’s Circle, he came fourth the year before that. Now, while he is showing his friend the delights of Saint Lucia, Ambi also makes it clear “Not me to be blamed/I’m only a farmer/ so stop calling me name.” But call his name you shall if only for you to ask for more “Local/local/local/local banana.”

Come To Me Riddim [Dutch Productions]


Mongstar - KiKi
Now Kiki why would you do that? Go through your man’s phone after a very, very early morning phone call? And since no good deed goes unpunished, the search resulted in you leaving and him begging you to come back home in both English and patois. “Kiki” is written by Marley James and produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Come to Me Riddim. The single also features instruments that sing under the expert touch of legendary Saint Lucian artistes Barbara Cadet and Ras Bonte. “Kiki” is a lovesong for the one that got away – or rather the one that left after she felt taken for granted, cheated on. The love is still there though and the remorse genuine, “Girl come back in my life and this time will be secure.” There is also admission of guilt and a promise to do better, “Every day I take you for granted/Girl I caan do that no more.” Because the path to love never does run smooth, sometimes a bump in the road ends with appeals to “Come back home” and start all over again as happens here on “Kiki”.

Toya feat. Scady Dot P- Party Freak
Sometimes a word gets a bad rap. Take freak for example. Intended to describe one, who is dedicated, committed – it has also come to represent negative sexual stereotypes. “Party Freak” which was written by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Kwency Griffith will do its part to turn all that around. Multiple Groovy Soca Monarch finalist Toya is joined on this Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic produced song on the Come To Me Riddim by fellow Groovy Soca Monarch finalist Scady Dot P. In this instance, the party freak is one who is dedicated to the fete experience, “Cuz when it comes to party you know we doesn’t stick/ De bacchanal inside we will take over the streets/ No they could never stop we, cuz we will never quit/From Sunday to Sunday, seven days of the week.” The song leaves no doubt about the level of dedication it takes to deserve such a title, “Feting is my occupation/bacchanal is my name/leave me alone when I feting/I am not ashame.” It is fitting for “Party Freak” to appear on a Riddim that beckons all to come, after all, while we want to change perceptions, one doesn’t really want to leave anyone out of the fete experience that will be Saint Lucia Carnival 2013 and its “nothing sweeter than dat” tagline.


Platinum George - Whine Like Dat (Toong Tang)
Soca Lovers rejoice for the return of Platinum George! Appearing for the first time on a song produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis, “Whine Like dat (Toong Tang)” is featured on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Come to Me Riddim. The song is written by Courtney Louis, Marley James and George St Croix and will envelope you in a melodious mood designed by Platinum, there is no doubt, this man can sing and he proves it here. Accompanied by beats that speak to our French soul and passion, “Whine Like Dat” is also a mating dance between a man and a woman, a sort of you show me yours and I will tell you about mine. Bragging, “I’ve got a whine girl/no man can whine like dat/I’ve got a groove girl/ no man caan whine like dat” George is entreating the female he has his eyes on to take a chance and dance. The appeal goes out whether you are single or attached. It is a primal call you will experience through to your soul on this aptly titled Come to Me Riddim.

Sergie - Woman of the House
Sergie is BOSS. Female BOSS at that; the “Woman of the House”. Sergia Charles, the 2011 Piton Soca Starz winner, 2012 Power Soca Finalist has officially began her 2013 Saint Lucia Carnival season. Asserting herself as the one in charge of her fate, she is laying down the law for the man in her life. That includes letting him know she pays both their bills and can handle her own, “cuz is me and me alone/Woman of the House/So you better watch your tone/ When you in my house”. This one is an anthem for all females who know how to handle theirs and their man business, “come give me the ting before I put you out.” Written and produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis, “Woman of the House” is featured on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Come to me Riddim. The music alone is sure to resonate, playing as it does to our French heritage, it is also expertly handled by Sergie who reminds her man, “I run tings/not you run tings/call me Woman of the House.”

Jay Budz - Your Boomsie
“Tonight I’m gonna end up in a problem!” Consider that fair warning from Jay Budz, 2012 Piton Soca Starz winner on “Your Boomsie”. Featured on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Come to Me Riddim, the song is written by Jonathan Mathurin and Courtney “Curty” Louis who also produced it. You ever walk into a fete, club or outside concert and seen that one person who was getting it so good, you had to get some of that? Well this song is about that and for you. “Never knew a girl cuda bad so/Whine pon me in a slow mo/ Cuz now that I got you swing it to the left and back to the right.” It doesn’t matter if she or him is attached, this is a meeting destined by fate, one that will mean the ultimate good time for both. Lucky for us, we are taken along for the ride as the music plays and the Come to Me Riddim leads our hips, waist and flex just where they need to go.
