Melly Rose - Body Good

When I applied I was 100% sure this challenge was going to be early on (first/second episode) so I kind of searched my stuff and shit after applying as I didnt want to be the first out. Ι think this is one of the best soca songs I ever listened to but I still expect Gigi/Bitta to pull something amazingly good out of their ass once again so I won't get hyped just yet..

GIGI WELPLADE

Hi my gummilicious girlies! It's me! Gigi! But y'all already know that x. So today we totally get to bring you the calypso realness! I am feeling island hot right now, and that's because I am listening to the absolute banger "Go Gal" by the queen of soca herself Alison Hinds. Miss thing is a legend of the game. Even in her glamorous 50s she is serving you socalicious flavour. If I had an ass to shake it would be bouncing to the roof queenies. Big up your girlos ladies and feel every inch of ya body to this twerkilicous track. YASSSSSSSSS!!






Lyrics:

Dey love it when yuh wine and yuh bounce it

Baby time to show dem how yuh wine and yuh bounce it

Dey love it when yuh wine and yuh bounce, yeah

Get low Gyal low Gyal low Gyal low

EPISODE 7
ALL YUH BACCHANAL

Send a Soca song

Patrice Roberts
Tender


I'm having a hard time here because I don't usually listen to soca or any similarly adjacent music so I'm unaware of what is considered good and bad.
Though, I enjoy my suggestion for this week's challenge. It's not as upbeat as what the other dolls might bring, but I think it encapsulates
the Caribbean atmosphere and spirit. It's laid back, perfect for relaxation on the beaches of Trinidad!

S1: E7- All Yuh Bacchanal

(Send a soca song.)

Who is ready for a Soca BANGER!!! 

It's time for REDEMPTION!!

The Soca Song that I have chosen is Run-Road by the Artist Destra. Aka 'The Queen of Bacchanal'

Destra - Run-road  



Destra is a Trinidadian musician, singer and songwriter of soca music. She is the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Bacchanal' for having such great stage presence and the ability to catch the crowd and get them hyped!

The song that I have chosen is her Banger of a Soca song called "Run-Road" which is an infectious EDM soca-fusion song. It has a fantastic beat and has a great continous build through the song to keep you engaged! 

It starts very fun with a Mario-esk start with their theme song, which cuts out Then the beats DROPS to this bop build up to these bop drops that make you wanna shake your ass and have the best time!

Soca is all about celebration, joy & everyone coming together to enjoying life. Making you want to get up and dance. This definitely gives you that feeling and I'm LIVING for it!!

Destra embodies Soca. She was recognized for her mastery in the Calypso style for five consecutive years in school. It was not until Destra was introduced to Soca that she would find her passion and place. Both originated in the Caribbean with Trinidadian roots.
People wonder why she is called the self-proclaimed Queen of Bacchanal (QoB for short), this is because of the excitement listeners hear in the inflection of her voice on radio talk-shows and because of her own Carnival-inspired event "Festival of Bacchanal". Its Destra's own signature event for the Trinidad Carnival season and will be a star-studded demonstration of talent and entertainment. 

"It no matter where you come from
Everyone shake your bum bum"

Destra is the soca ambassador, making sure that everyone is welcome, no matter who you are. Just make sure you shake your bum bum while doing it!

Bitta Pill: All Yuh Bacchanal
After a prolonged period of agony (involving a lot of close calls, some genre mis-directions and a heap of terrible songs) I think I have found something.

Siig's - Best Side
This completely caught me by surprise. It falls under bouyon, a subsection of Caribbean music that is a frequent fusion partner with soca. It's a little darker than some of the other song here, but the beat is infectious and it really makes me want to get up and dance the house down!

If you want to question the validity of the song with regards to this challenge, Siig's is classed as a bouyon artist on the Every Noise At Once genre database (https://everynoise.com/engenremap-bouyon.html)

(the glitter text site wasnt working )

i'm not very familiar with soca, so i have to admit, i googled "women of soca" and went thru the list..... BUT, when i saw Nailah Blackman's i was like..... it clicked. something felt RIGHT and FAMILIAR about her.
miss nailah comes from a famous soca family, and wikipedia says she is "strongly associated" with the soca genre... and this song just slaps tha fuck and it feels right.
luv the beats, it's giving brazilian funk, it's carribbean, it's giving afro, bouyon, chutney, dennery segment, fusion, groovy, jabjab, ragga, power and NOT dancehall!
