Barbados’ son of the soil, Rupee has unleashed a brand new single. The song, “Trust Issues,” fuses the Afrobeat rhythm with the pulsating energy of Soca music, delivering a track that resonates with everyone who’s heard it, in a deep and engaging way.

The song’s lyrics explore the deeply rooted and necessary concept of trust in any relationship, delving into the question of who to trust and to what extent. It invites music lovers to explore the complexities of human relationships, all the while maintaining the sweetness of the Afro-caribbean beat.

Versatile as ever, Rupee – the artiste who’s catalogue of hits include, ‘Ice Cream,’ ‘Tempted to Touch.’ ‘Jump’ and ‘What Happens in De Party,’ is certainly reconnecting with Caribbean music lovers and his international fanbase on this new release.“Trust is such a fundamental aspect of human connection, yet it’s often fraught with uncertainty. This song is a reflection of that struggle, but also a celebration of resilience and self-discovery,” said the Bajan entertainer.

The new track is available for download on all popular streaming platforms. Check it out.
