It’s not yet 2012 but I already have not 1 but 2 anthems for the upcoming soca season.
If the quality of music remains at this level this will be the best soca season since 2007 and the very least it would be on par with 2008 and i say that without apology.
So the top songs so far are:-
*Bacchanalist – Kerwin Debois
* Vybse cyah done – Machel Montano
Precision Wine – Kes The band
Gyal Wuk – Machel Montano
Whine – The IZ ft. Machel Montano
Wine On It – Shurwayne Winchester
Note: Those with the * are my anthems for this year
Now first thing to note is, as usual, Machel is all over this list… The man is the greatest soca artist of ALLLLLLL TIIIIIME (this too, is being said without an ounce of remorse or apology). The only surprise in the list is Kerwin who is a good artist but never usually produces anything that keeps me playing on repeat. I am now eagerly awaiting the other soca greats and i fully expect the 2012 season to be a blast.
In the paraphrased words of Machel and Kerwin “Bacchanal does call me and i can’t say no, cause I is a Bacchanalist!”
