The Rounds with Nurse Karen

Good Evening Soca Lovers, I'm Nurse Karen and these are Dr. Jay's Rounds.

Seasons Greetings. It may be cold outside, but wherever soca music is pumping its hot, hot, hot! St. Kitts and Nevis is especially steamy this time of year as they celebrate their annual Carnival. This years festival is aptly themed Nuff Riddim, Plenty Lime. Local favourites like dVybz Band International, are now starting to release their music for the carnival season that official reaches its climax on New Years day. Vybz will dropping its 08/09 carnival album next week. So be sure and check for it.

Speaking of albums Kes the Band will have a new offering for 2009. The first release is a song called The Feeling. Its a tribute to Trinidads musical heritage of Calypso. It has a bit of an 80s retro feel in its construction, all mellowed out with the silky vocals of lead singer, Kees. The new album drops in January.

The first lady of Kees the band is none other than the stunningly talented, Miss Nadia Batson. Today is her 32nd bday and were sending out positive vibes to Nadie as she rings it in. Happy Birthday Girl.

Youve heard me talking a little bit here and there about Kevin Lyttles Japanese album. Well he's been working on projects for this side of the Pacific Ocean too. A track called Anywhere surfaced on the internet about two weeks ago. It features Flo Rida and Po Boyz and its definitely more R and B than soca or anything else. Kevin says the song was originally scheduled to hit airwaves come January, but there is some talk about pushing out sooner because of the leak.

Over in Trinidad, Kernal Roberts has taken a new step to revive the memory of his legendary father, the late, great Grandmaster Lord Kitchener. Angustura made the controversial decision to cast Roberts in a modern remake of a well-known local television commercial in which Kitch strums the first few bars of Drink Ah Rum. The original commercial first aired in the early nineties, but in 2008, Kernal who is an accomplished song-writer and musician in his own right, plays his father. A task which comes pretty naturally considering the amazing resemblance. The new ad campaign was lauched last week Friday at a White Oak Staff Lime in Trinidad. Adesh Samaroo and Machel Montano were also present.

There you have it!
