Soca Gold 2018: Live

VP Records presents their annual compilation of the best soca songs mashing up the place worldwide, Soca Gold 2018. Featuring a fire squad of hits, this highly anticipated album will have you fêting from dusk till dawn with Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons, Alison Hinds, Machel Montana, Tony Prescott, Booyaka Smash Mix, DJ Titan, Rikki Jai & Ravi B and Shenseea. With an official release date of May 25, the album is currently available for pre-order on the VP Records and Amazon website.

One of our long time favourite is Bunji Garlin, featuring Shenseea, “Big Bad Soca, Remix.” The dancehall and soca fusion fires up the waistline. As well, Tony Prescott’s single, “Oil Drum”, speaks life into the room. Prescott’s vocal range and rhythmic tonality is at the forefront of a rich musical arrangement. The steel pans and horns summons the attention as to say, “Hey, what wrong with you? Get up and live.”

Dare to resist this rhythmic take over at your own expense. Because, this album features artists with the musical attitude of modern day social renegades. And do not expect an explanation or an apology if you cannot keep up with the high energy beats. But do not dismay. By the time you get to the end of the generous playlist of 18 songs, lyrically and metaphorically, life will feel sweet again. Just keep pressing play and get on bad, even when the neighbours start backing up to your door. There is plenty music for everyone.
