So the secret is out. ETCETERABUZZ.COM has learnt that this country’s two reigning Soca Monarchs, Machel Montano and Olatunji Yearwood will release a new collaborative single in the days ahead. Milbeatz Entertainment production heavy hitter, David Millien broke the news yesterday in a quick chat with us, and while the song is yet to be named, Millien disclosed that it’s definitely a song that will turn up the heat in T&T.

Olatunji Yearwood seems set to have another great Carnival season.

Olatunji Yearwood seems set to have another great Carnival season.

With the Carnival 2016 season very short, hundreds of songs have been released according to DJs at popular frequencies, but only a few will make it through to the end. For the past few seasons, Olatunji- the  2015 Groovy Soca king, has enjoyed tremendous success. Already, a song released by the artiste, called “Oh Yay” written by Phillip Bastien, Kevin Charles and Yearwood himself, is creating a stir. Some are arguing, it’s the best they’ve heard for the season so far.

Montano meanwhile, has been taking his time it seems, having only released “Temperature,” so far. Millien, in his chat with ETCETERABUZZ.COM said having both Montano and Yearwood in studio in recent days, has been an incredible experience. “The creative process with Machel is very inspiring to me because Machel knows exactly what he wants to hear- from his vocals in recording to the amount of effects he wants to apply during production,” said the producer who only recently returned from a three month tour of various states across the United States and Canada. “Machel shared some advice with Ola and me during recording. He told us to remain focused and to avoid doing music to meet deadlines only for Carnival,” said the young music maker, adding that Montano advised them that music created should be done to last the entire year. “He told us to take our time and make sure that we get the sound right and don’t rush to release.”

.Highlighting the words of a man who has captivated carnival audiences for 33 years, David Millien, in his chat with us, seemed happy to have gotten such a chance to speak with Machel. He noted that the mega soca star explained that music should only be released when the mix is close to perfect so that people can enjoy it completely- not just for days but for years to come.

The young producer, who has already worked on eight projects ahead of the 2016 Carnival season told us that his long term goals as a stakeholder in the business of soca music involves introducing more people to the sound of Soca music, globally. “I want to show the world just how many talented artistes there are in T&T and by extension, the Caribbean region, through my independent record label,” said Millien.

Millien also revealed that there are plans underway to expand Millbeatz Entertainment to various countries across the world.
