Erphaan Alves and Machel Montano: TERRIBLE

7:27 AM Dancehall Soca

by Mystie Thongs.

This one is not for the social winers, it is also not for the patrons who go to fetes to stand and look good. This one is for the miserable stage stormers, the rebellious revelers, and those who live for that incredible moment when nothing else matters but you, the music, and the fantastic freedom that can only be found in the mystical depths of a true Trini Carnival. 

Straight out of the Precision Productions studio and onto the Carnival 2012 big stage, “Terrible” by Erphaan Alves ft Machel Montano is made to be the soundtrack for the greatest show on earth. No words can fully describe the instant melodious heights this brand new tune takes every single Mas playing body to. With its all-encompassing and captivating energy, it is sure to be a fan favourite for years to come, and will most definitely be the leading instigator in all very bad behaviour this season. 

Yet again, Precision proves that they are deeply connected to the heartbeat of Soca lovers everywhere and are more than capable of giving them exactly what they need to recklessly and self-indulgently break loose and act TERRIBLE!

INTRODUCING Aaron Marcelline

10:23 AM Dancehall Soca

My name is Aaron Marcelline. I was born 16th September 1986 in Southern Trinidad, where I lived moving from different locations starting from Sobo Village La Brea ending in Pleasantville San Fernando. My family at a certain time didn't own a television, we would therefore spend all our time listening music, singing and dancing just to entertain ourselves. By that time my mother noticed I had something in common with her, a voice. She then started coaching to the best of her ability even though she herself had no formal training that continued up until puberty. I guess that’s when my mother migrated to start her cancer treatments and my voice started changing. It was impossible to get out a good note and with a broken heart from my mother leaving, I eventually lost the zeal I once had. 

Years passed before I started loving music again and by that time I had to start from the scratch with my voice. I had no knowledge, no idea there were people qualified to train my vocals, no knowledge of music at all. I would just sing to myself or for whoever wanted to hear me. Eventually I picked up modeling and was invited to participate in a male show called ON POINT, held as part of the Point Fortin's Borough week celebrations. This show was the pathway for me to showcase my talent to a wide audience. That night I sang “Pretty Wings” by Maxwell. I was extremely nervous nothing could explain the fear and excitement. It was unlike anything I ever felt before, I sang at other shows before but none as large scale as this one. That night I received a standing ovation from the audience, they even called for an encore. After the show ended and I found out I didn't win, my one comfort was the compliments on my voice and performance and even better was hearing my father's surprised reaction to my ability he had no idea about. I now have a new goal on my agenda; I am going to be heard. 

I then stopped modeling and started focusing on music solely. I was informed about an audition for a program provided by the Southern division of the Ministry of Youth and Sport Affairs, the Young Entertainers Showcase. After performing my rendition of another of Maxwell's songs, “Fistful of Tears,” I was accepted. I met and interacted with various song writers, performers, engineers, radio hosts, disk jockeys and most importantly my vocal coach. My preferred genre of music at that time was R&B. However, after some time, I made the decision to follow the local musical culture of Trinidad, Soca Music.   Being trained by Mr. Ashford Joseph, the very same man that trained our most popular and recognized soca artiste, Machel Montano, I started to work on my first material.  My first recorded track, ‘Closer’, was done in late 2011, and written by Kendal Romany (although I do also write my own songs). The music was produced by one of the engineers at the Y.E.S. Program, Mr Reuel Lynch. However, the recording, mixing and mastering was done at Jahlight Records in Pleasantville, SanFernando. 

My goal in the world of music is to become a household name. My aim is that my music would touch and move people from all over the world. I plan to still do RnB music. However, I hope to travel the world and carry the torch for Soca Music.

Tele Cruz: New Video Will Make You Sweat?

8:40 AM Dancehall Soca

Soca artiste Tele Cruz has amped up the promotion of his latest single Sweat with the release of the accompanying music video. The video was shot on location in Tobago at a mansion villa as well as at Cruz Cocktail Bar and Bistro. Additional scenes were shot at the famous Back Bay beach in Tobago.

In a release to the media, Tele Cruz outlined the concept of the scorching new video. ‘The story behind my new video is basically having a good time whenever you party or whine with the same anticipation as you are working out in the gym. It’s not supposed to be glamorous but just rough fun and letting loose, similar to what carnival is all about”, said Tele Cruz.

Sweat was directed by Swedish producer Neil Luckz of 4Sons Entertainment. Luckz has worked mainly with international artistes from England, Sweden and the USA. The video features a plethora of cultural melting pot. The extras comprised persons from Grenada, the UK, Sweden and the US.

Said Tele Cruz ‘We all came together to show how we party in the Caribbean which was great fun”.

Asked what fans can expect from the video, Tele Cruz was quick to point out “My fans can expect an international view of the same carnival we all love so much. During carnival, people come together from all over the world to celebrate and have fun together. Therefore, everyone can recognize themselves in this video and we all know that whining is a great deal of carnival”.

The feedback to the single Sweat has been overwhelming to date. It has been enjoying rotation all over the Caribbean as well as in Jamaica, Europe and North America.

Kes The Band: S-Curve Records Best Of 2011

7:20 AM Dancehall Soca


2011 was a pretty strong year for pop singles, with a fairly identifiable center emerging, combining dance beats, electro sounds and hip-hop swagger. To the left, there was no shortage of low-fi alt rockers, whose aesthetic often recalled early, pre-Beatles rock–a refreshing turn. My Top 30 list turns out to be a mix of those two styles, plus some great cheesy Europop (Hoffmaestro!), neo-soul (Timothy Bloom!) and even a Trinidad Carnival song (Kes The Band!). And oddly, three late, great soul singers (Otis, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson) saw their names as titles of songs in my Top 30, with no discernable musical link among the three songs. I’ve taken some heat at home for being too mainstream by picking Nikki Minaj over the Pierces and Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jr. as the best single of the year. But as the months went by, I just never got tired of the awesome “Superbass.” Bu it was close between those three finalists.  Read More
