Curtis-C
Curtis-C is ready to "Confort You" with his sophmore album "Comfort Me". The titile track is an instant classic because when you hear it and say 3 times fast you will know why. The Album has a total of 16 tracks and you will have a very dificult time finding a bad one. It include some previously recorded tunes that were singles on compilations but now you've got all Curtis-C preveously known as Curty Banton. Some of the guest artists include Arleen Twist, Philly Dilly, Smarty Junior, and Power D. Curtis lunched the CD on June 10th on the Brute Force Entertainment Label at the Red Bress Resturant in Brooklyn New York to a sold out show. This CD will have you winning all over the place with tunes like, "Way you are look for ", Whinning In", "Jock Back" and Bachalor Life. Its no suprise to me that St. Vincent Soca artist Kevin Little, and Jamsie P is blowing up the charts and are crossing over into the main stream. Finaly Soca music is infecting the audience with its compeling beats, creative lyrics and just plain old party niceness that will soon plague the world. I have been in this busness for over 20 years and I know the music industry well enough to say that Caribbean Music is the music of the millinium. I said before and I will say it again, they cant stop it now. Reggaeton, Dancehall, Soca, Ragga, Soca Hip Hop, and Souce are not far from becoming household terms. When that happens everyone will wonders where have they all been. I will tell you where, on shelf of many radio stations and record stores that use to sell them for a dollar because no one knew who Mahchel Montano, Frankie Macintosh, Liston Paul, Rupee, Kevin Little, and Elephant Man. These guys have two things in common and that is Music and the Islands. In total they represent about 100 years of musical experience and only one of them is in there fifties. One of the first Soca/Calypso artist to sign to a major record label was Bechet from St. Vincent. His songs Mari Wana was a smash, along with Vincy Mas. Now Kevin Little and Jamsie P are making history with their signing to Atlantic and Universal respectively. To hear a sample of Curtis-c click here

HOT SOCA CHARTS
The album cover with a pretty face dosnt allways means the music is pretty, but in this case it does. SOCA 101 is a must CD for all the SOCA lovers.
