Just three years after Popcaan first stepped out in his Clarks as Vybz Kartel's protégé, he has quickly established himself as one of Jamaica's biggest artists. His distinctive voice, versatile style and positive energy has propelled him through summer smashes “Ravin” and “Party Shot,” pensive political tracks “The System” and “Dream,” and gallis anthems like “Only Man She Want.” Along the way, he's piled up tens of millions of YouTube plays, a Billboard Hot 100 hit and high profile collaborations with Snoop, Pusha T, and Busta Rhymes.

"Love Yuh Bad" is the second single off of Popcaan's much anticipated debut album, Where We Come From, which will be released on June 10th via Mixpak. Hot on the heels of the lead single "Everything Nice," this sultry and energetic second single is a love song for the dance. Produced by Dre Skull (who also serves as the album’s executive producer), "Love Yuh Bad" pairs Popcaan's signature melodiousness and catchy rhythmic flow with skipping percussion and driving strings. It wouldn't be a Popcaan album without a wining song and "Love Yuh Bad" fully delivers the goods.

Arthur (EvaLucian) - Hold Me

Where We Come From is the debut album from Jamaican superstar Popcaan. Executive produced by Dre Skull and featuring productions from Dre Skull, Dubbel Dutch, Jamie Roberts, Anju Blaxx and Adde Instrumentals, Popcaan's first full length offering sees his signature melodies and uplifting tones on thirteen original tracks. As musicologist Wayne Marshall writes,

“Where We Come From” gives voice, as the best reggae does, to the contradictions of life in a society rife with inequities and yet so rich. Whether odes to the ghetto or the good life, Popcaan's lyrics bring realist portraits and utopian visions into dynamic tension. Songs about struggle and sex and happiness occupy the same space because they do. And whatever the topic, Popcaan's infectious positivity comes through.”

A Little Whinning

De Truth – Ricky T

“Tell them start it /start it”. You heard the 2013 Groovy and Power Soca Monarch as well as Road March King of Saint Lucia. “We coming to fete / to make the place shake / we doh give a damn at all / come to make you sweat ” is a promise Ricky T knows he can and will deliver on “De Truth” off the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic, Black Assassin Riddim for Saint Lucia Carnival 2014. 

This is not just any power soca song. “De Truth” is a retrospective of Ricky T’s career so far spanning his hit songs from “Pressure Boom” (2007) to 2014’s “Mass Attack”. Along the way he has dominated Saint Lucian Carnival streets, fetes and events as well as toured the region and the world including performing at Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Centre in New York. 

While not one to look back, Ricky T nevertheless brings “De Truth” for his fans, giving them a chance to remember and celebrate with him, “we coming / we prepared / we doh fraid / never scared / like lightning / we striking / I’m the Lord of the Ring.” So take this one as a look back but also a promise for the future.

Written by Ricky  "Ricky T" Joseph and Courtney “Curty” Louis,along with Saveion "Blue" Georges, “De Truth” is produced by Louis,with additional keys by Yannick Plante.Louis is an award winning songwriter and producer. 


Ricky T - De Truth

Ever so often a song is released, which touches a place in your soul and resonates so soundly with your love for this season that it takes you back to the very “First Time” you ever let go and thoroughly enjoyed Carnival.

This heartfelt memory in motion is described lyrically by Akeem “Preedy” Chance and Stephanas “Steffy” Ramgattie of WeMad, as they encapsulate the rarely relived virgin jubilation expressed within this single.

With an unforgettable melodic delivery, the former Groovy Monarch Teddyson John translates all of these glorious emotions into song, one well-sung refrain at a time.

Even as the tastefully saccharine layering of music provided by Team Precision, adds that final level of remembrance, which enables listeners to be carried away in what is sure to be a heavenly festival trance.

First Time - Teddyson John

40 Days and 40 Nights ( Dingolay )

The Joseph brothers – Ricky T and Ambi – are on an expedition. They are searching for “a girl for my Carnival whine.” Written by Ricky and Ambroise Joseph, “40 Days and 40 Nights (Dingolay)” is featured on the Stratosphere Muzic Riddim of the same name. The song was produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis inside his Dutch Productions studio.  The new release for Saint Lucia Carnival 2013 was also co-produced by Ricky Joseph.
The hunt for this girl has, like the Lenten season before the release of this single, already taken 40 days and 40 nights, “Baby girl tell me where you’re gone/I’ve been searching and looking/I’m looking and searching/tell me what’s going on”
It includes phone calls, “Calling your phone I’m getting busy tones/ So I’m calling your dad/calling your mom/ they tell me you’re not around” and desperate appeals so that the artistes and their lost female treasure can Dingolay.
The elusive vixen appears to have made a habit of disappearing; she vanished during last year Carnival “right by the Piton truck.”
Won’t you please join them as the search continues as we look ahead to this year’s Carnival where a whine from that one person can make or break a season, “40 Days and 40 Nights” indeed.


40 Days 40 Nights ( Dingolay ) - Ricky T & Ambi

Lucian Bacchanal ( Oh Na Na ) - Marie-Anne

“Welcome to Saint Lucia Carnival/ Welcome to Saint Lucia Bacchanal” brought to you in Carnival 2013 by Marie-Anne and 12-time Monarch Ricky T. Written by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Marie-Anne Greer; “Lucian Bacchanal” is featured on the Jump Over Riddim. It is produced by Louis, a three time COTT winner and released by his Stratosphere Muzic label.  
“Lucian Bacchanal” as the name suggests is all about Saint Lucia Carnival described here as “the greatest show in Saint Lucia.” From first listen it paints a vivid picture of that spectacle, describing costume and colour, behavior and some of the events that make Saint Lucia Carnival truly what it is, “Wet fete inside Samaans Park/ after we going Soca Monarch/If you think the bacchanal stop/ on the road it could never stop.” Marie-Anne is the Ringleader in this one, taking command of the vocals while being ably backed up by Ricky T, no stranger to the hypnotic and seductive power of our bacchanal, which ably attracts “people from all over.” Carnival, you see, is also about people having a good time that is captured on film and memories. “Jumping up with me friends/Whining down till we dead/ We full of energy/ full of vibes.” Marie-Anne says she loves her Vaval so much and so will you as you allow this one to tease you into a costume and “shake it for me/shake it for me/Carnival coming.”

Mass Attack - Ricky T 

The 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.


Merry Go Round - Mongstar and Ambi

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.


Soca Platinum Style - Platinum George

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.

There’s a place inside each one of us where we want to come alive, just waiting for an initial spark to ignite it. This spark can only ignite when we open our hearts to each other – when we are all elevated to this place of high spirit. Here, happiness is infinite; humility exists; hope can flourish and equality is real.

Therefore we all have a responsibility to shine! Let’s ignite together in this place where we are one, bound by the flames of Love, Passion and Music.
