Archived: Grenada’s Skinny Banton Brings A Perfect Anthem for C2K20.

He’ll likely be plastered across the fete circuit in T&T in 2020 and while Grenada’s Skinny Banton did not win Grenada’s Groovy Soca Monarch this year, his single, ‘Wrong Again’ is making a massive impression in Carnival country, Trinidad and Tobago.

Across the airwaves, the song, with its underlying brass line and unrefined calypso grip, is nothing short of a fable brought in alignment with the Caribbean’s favourite sound, through just the right melodies and beats. ‘Wrong Again’ is a groove by BPM standards and while the masses and even the radio personalities are saying Carnival 2020 is all about power hits, this is one track that we know, will be unstoppable in the season ahead.

Skinny Banton is one of Grenada’s more prominent artistes. He’s best known for his 2014 hit single, “Soak It.” That song, while released in early 2014, made its way to the mainstream music market in the Caribbean in 2015. His style while very authentic, is purely Grenadian and simply perfect. His early inclusion on the soca hit list proves a very important point… that being, there’s a place for everyone in the soca biz, a business led by a genre that’s still spreading its wings, meandering through the cities of the world like nothing else has.
