Soufriere Riddim – Precision Productions

With only four cuts, Soufriere Riddim keeps the focus tight, pairing Destra Garcia, Alpha and Teddyson John with a lone Precision cut that acts like a signature at the end. Released in 2012 and cut for St. Lucia carnival season, it leans into brisk soca energy rather than anything sprawling, and the names on it point straight to the island circuit where these songs were meant to work. Destra’s “Carry On” brings the biggest star power, Teddyson John’s “We Gone Clear” adds a more melodic lift, and Alpha’s “D Wetter D Better” keeps the pace lively in between. Precision closes the sequence with the instrumental “Soufriere Riddim, ” a neat way of framing the project so the vocal tunes lead first and the bare riddim lands last.
