BITTER RIDDIM (SOCA) – STADIC MUSIC 2015
Bitter Overview
In 2015, soca fans found their parade rhythm with a release that quickly became a carnival favorite. The energy of the year’s carnival season matched perfectly with the drive of this riddim, giving DJs a strong anthem to keep the crowd moving. For many, 2015 is remembered for the flow this project brought to the road. Behind the scenes, the riddim’s sound architect shaped the music with crisp percussion and layered melodies. The producer’s touch gave each track a lively, festival-ready feeling. This style helped the riddim stand out among the many soca releases of that year, making it a go-to choice for parties and parade floats. The artists brought their own style to the project. Bunji Garlin delivered “Do It” with his trademark energy and commanding voice. Known for his international hit “Differentology,” Bunji Garlin is a leader in modern soca, and his presence on the riddim gave it extra weight. Fay-Ann Lyons added “Drift” to the mix. As a three-time Trinidad and Tobago Road March winner, Fay-Ann Lyons is celebrated for her powerful performances and strong songwriting. Her contribution kept the momentum high and the crowd engaged. Machel Montano’s “Losing It” brought another layer of excitement. Machel Montano, often called the “King of Soca,” has won multiple Soca Monarch titles and is known for his high-energy shows. His track on the riddim became a staple at fetes and on the parade route. Sekon Sta rounded out the project with “In Charge.” His vocals and delivery gave the riddim a fresh touch, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers. Together, these songs made the riddim a highlight of 2015’s carnival soundtrack.
