“Don’t Let Go (I Am Soca)
by Ricky T starts off slow and builds and builds and builds just like the
spirit of bacchanal for which it sings a love song. For all that he has two
Groovy Soca Monarch titles, Ricky T is known more for power anthems that drive
fetes, concerts and the road.
But with “Don’t Let Go (I
Am Soca)” he proves as he did with “Indian Girl” (2011) and “40 Days 40 Nights
(Dingolay)” (2013) that he can slow it down with as devastating an impact as
any power number.
Released by Dutch Productions/Stratosphere
Muzic for Saint Lucia Carnival 2014, “Don’t Let Go (I Am Soca)” is written by
Ricky Joseph ,Saveion "Blue" Georges and Courtney Louis who also
produced it with additional keys from Yannick “Fresh Prince” Plante. The song
is also blessed with live guitar from Ras Bonte.
“I am the melody in your
heart/I am the reason party does start/I am the treble, I am the brass/I am the
one who control the mas/I am the one make girl bend down low/I is the one make
people run so” – sweet Soca you are so right, describing yourself with such
grace by those who love and pay musical homage to you. Don’t ever “Let Me Go”.
