So is this Voice tune just late to the Bieber party or a legitimate tune? I can't decide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5LKO2gFBGY

I know he's not cutting edge soca exactly, but I am a longtime fan of David Rudder (or maybe you consider him calypso or something). His 2015 "Catharsis" album was kind of uneven, but had some songs I liked. Anybody else a fan? I don't even know what released this year, if he did.

I've been a fan since i was a kid (when was Rally Round The West Indies, 88?) but missed Catharsis. I'll look out for it.

<3 Calling In Sick

I can't decide if their pan-caribbean approach is admirably diverse or if I'd rather see a more T&T-centered list. ofc I have no idea how much these songs travel from fete to fete, so maybe this is just an accurate picture of facts on the ground. Anyway, plenty of never-heard tracks here. Kind of surprised to not see "Different Me" since I heard it through LU but I'm essentially a dilettante in this area.
