There’s one characteristic that can never be denied when it comes to the Trinbagonian. Amid life’s darkest days, the ‘Trini’ will always find something to smile about.

Unable to contain their love and passion for the carnival culture that embodies Trinidad and Tobago, two artistes have brought an essence of revitalized excitement in one song that’s designed purposely for Carnival babies anywhere in the world. A humor-laced Soca track, produced by Klase Gonzales and delivered by Revelation and Ace, brings into focus the role of the ‘Doctor’ in easing up the current heaviness of life.

Mindful of the fact that the global pandemic is nothing to be ignored or downplayed, the artistes say they believe that no matter how devastating things are currently, there should always be a reason to smile and be happy. “There are many people who are hurting significantly because of the present situation. It’s been a hard time for many,” said Revelation, pointing to even the carnival vendor, who, with no confirmation of any type of festival in 2022, would once again be pained by lost income a second year around. Ace says despite the utterances of some who see the festival as unimportant, he believes there are mental health benefits to be derived from the resumption of some semblance of a festival atmosphere and creativity. “To me, there is a personal disconnect when it comes to hosting virtual events so I’m in favor of the safe-zone carnival, once thought out and executed properly. We cannot ignore the health and well- being of our population, but at the same time, we cannot continue to live in fear,” he said.  

‘Doctor’ was produced by well-known music producer, Klase Gonzales. A brotherly love shared between the trio, studio time in creation of this new single was nothing short of enjoyable. “I’ve known Ace since the early years of 3 Suns when I was a nobody. They would leave Sangre Grande and come to Chaguanas to work on their music. I knew it was only right that I look out for Ace as 3 Suns looked out for me back then,” said the dynamic producer.

Klase says the song, which subliminally references Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley, delivers a concept that he loves. “We brought back some of the live music that was a part of Soca music back in the day, and we applied it in a modern way,” he explained, noting that the track was then sent for mixing and mastering to his protégé, US based, Brooklyn Decent, who he refers to as a prodigy.

The new single is released just as many are up in arms over recent chatter on social media, as it relates to the significance of Carnival. On the weekend, fellow entertainers, Fay Ann Lyons and her husband, Bunji Garlin highlighted the negative utterances of some in Trinidad and Tobago, who perceive the festival as nothing more that a display of lewd behavior and a catalyst for criminal activity. “Carnival, historically is an expression of freedom from slavery,” said Ace. “I accept that everyone has their personal opinion and so mine is simply that we cannot continue to go down the road of doom and gloom. There must be balance,” said the East Trinidad native.

The song was conceptualized by Revelation, and together with Ace and Jade Mendoza, they worked out the lyrics. Rev said he had been hanging out with a friend who made the simple statement, ‘every Tom, Dick and Harrilal,’ and the rest is history. The pair also thanked Ken Holder for his support throughout the process. “People need to smile again. Fear is the creation of all of life’s greatest atrocities,” said Revelation, hopeful that this new song could breed new life into all of Trinidad and Tobago and by extension, the world.

As He Drops ‘Take Care,’ Mr. Lee Says Men and Women Must Communicate Better for Strong Relationships.

The time has come for good vibes to counteract all negative energy and together with his manager/producer, US based, Trinidadian artiste, Mr. Lee it doing what he feels he can, to inject that positivity. “I know the streets. I can tell you about the streets. Badness and the roughness is what they know. If they got the chance to get to know something else, they would do something else,” said the entertainer. 

His music is refreshing. Afrobeats, coupled with Soul and RnB bring to life, a song on The Only 1 Riddim, that he calls, “Take Care.” For Mr. Lee, an artiste with many years of experience on the entertainment circuit overseas, and in the Caribbean, he is mindful of what he sings. “This type of music is necessary at all times to spread love and joy. I wish there could have been more beautiful messages all the time because it’s really important to spread love,” he said with hope. 

Joining artistes like Preedy and Christo on the riddim, Mr. Lee is proud of the project. “This project means a whole lot to me. I have two girls and my wife and I have to express my love to them every single day of my life. I have my mom, my sisters, and I have to show them all the love I have within me. All the artistes on this riddim have done the same – we all expressed what we want to express to our loved ones. Most are real stories that can be relatable to others in society,” he explained. 

On the topic of love and the importance of understanding what love is, Mr. Lee said for human beings to share love, they must first feel love. “If your father is not showing you love, how will you know love. Most of our youths have no parents around them. They are being influenced by a harsh representation of love, which really, is not love.” At the same time, he called on the elders within societies around the world, to try to strike a balance with the youth, especially in present time. “When I was growing up, the older heads never wanted to release a lot to the youths; they never wanted to give the youths a chance. People in positions of power must give the youths a chance to prove themselves. They have great ideas, but they need mentorship and guidance,” he said. 

“Take Care,” written by Joseph ‘Pronto’ Figueroa, is a quality single with a passionate plea for more honest, kind, loving relational experiences. Unlike much of today’s lyrics, Mr. Lee keeps it classy, maintaining a thoughtful approach to music, with lyrics that penetrate. “The raw thoughts – we never heard that as youths. Some things should be kept personal,” he opined. An advocate for goodness, Mr. Lee is calling on men around the world to show their companions more love, in the right way. “Everybody wants to fight and kill. They don’t want to talk about things properly. We need to talk to our spouses more. We need to learn how to communicate better and spend more time with our loved ones.” 

Happy to have enjoyed a successful run in Carnival 2026, in Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Lee is working on new music even as he promotes this brand-new track. “I’m working on new Soca to release for the Summer. I’m working, and I’m happy with the progress I’ve been able to make so far. It’s a process,” he said of being in the music business. 

The state-to-state carnival wave set to begin in the US soon, Mr. Lee says this year he is looking forward to heading to Miami for Carnival there and will be back home in T&T, come Carnival 2027. In the meantime, the T&T native and dedicated family man is spreading love through good music that he knows is absolutely necessary at this time.

Caribbean entertainment doesn’t sleep. Proof of that comes in the release of brand new music, this time courtesy the superstar duo of Full Blown – brothers, Kevon and Kory Hart. Their new track, “No Stress” has been released complete with a new music video and it’s a big look for the duo.

No Stress is a vibrant, feel-good anthem that continues the duo’s evolution from soca favourites into one of the Caribbean’s most versatile and globally resonant musical acts.

Known for their strong songwriting skills, undeniable chemistry and sonic fearlessness, brothers Kevon and Kory have steadily built a reputation for creating music that transcends borders, generations and genres. Over the years, Full Blown has become synonymous with high-energy Caribbean songwriting, penning and producing hits that have dominated Carnival seasons, regional charts and party playlists across the diaspora.

Now, with No Stress, the duo taps into dancehall nostalgia while pushing Caribbean fusion music into fresh territory. The track reimagines the iconic Shabba Ranks classic Ting A Ling, blending vintage dancehall energy with Full Blown’s contemporary Caribbean flavour. 

The release follows the brothers’ success with the track, The Greatest Bend Over (Take It Easy) alongside Yung Bredda, a crossover hit that amassed more than 40 million streams worldwide and was described by Billboard Magazine as “culture-quaking.”

“People know us for soca hits and high-energy music, but this record really reflects who we are creatively,” said Kevon. “We grew up influenced by so many sounds across the Caribbean. We are a happy, joyful, fun-loving people. We just want good vibes. No stress.” 

No Stress is now available on all major streaming platforms.
