Damn, this song is going to blow up the music scene in Trinidad and Tobago for Carnival 2019. The song is entitled "Trouble (In The Morning)" by Vaughn. This man's vocals simply kissed the music produced by DJ Captain John.
This was and still is one of the better songs coming out of Spice Mas 2018. We are here today because DJ Jel (Jelani Roberts) insisted that we do a post on the song. So why didn't we do this before? My bad, I thought I did but DJ Jel, Di Soca Analyst, saves the day!
A Guest Post By DJ Jel, Di Soca Analyst:
V’ghn brought the energy and vibes on this one. In our personal opinion, he probably took the riddim. There are very few artists who can successfully have a catchy song and yet nail down a storyline. When you listen to this 'chune' you can imagine the situation unfold in your mind.
The song tells a story of a young lady who is at a party with her significant other. He leaves her in the party to be with his friends and she is left alone at the party. Vaughn enters the party and meets her on his way in, and that’s where the trouble begins. The lyrics definitely drive home the bacchanal you find in the story the song is telling.
Hook 1: “Don’t really want to intervene but did you come here with your team she says no no no.”
“Tell me to go so I could leave, if I rudely intervene she say no no no.”
Chorus: “That look like trouble in the morning. When the liquor starts to 'wuk' up and the music starts to pump up.” Despite the storytelling elements in the song, it’s easy for the crowd to sing along to.
The Production:
Featured on 'The Morning After Riddim', “Trouble (In The Morning)” was produced by Vincentian John Rickards, who is also known by his sobriquet, Captain John. One major thing that stands out on this track is the production. The live brass, guitar, percussion, and horns arrangement bring a nostalgic calypso feel. Live instruments are rarely used in Soca music today. It brings a breath of fresh air to those that love the arrangement of music.
“Trouble In The Morning” has received significant airplay in Grenada, St. Vincent & The Grenadines and NYC for their respective carnivals. The song also placed second in the Grenada Groovy Soca Monarch. We think that this song is going to have a long run along with L Pank and the collaboration with Skinny & Hollabak on the riddim.
