J'adore, J'adore, J'adore. Encore, Encore. Voilà un son qui représente bien la nouvelle génération caribéenne, loin des clichés, qui puise dans le coeur de ce que nous savons faire aux Antilles. Mais surtout avec une vraie âme. Bravo Erik, KEEP IT REAL!! Je suis fan de ton premier album, attends de te voir en concert à la Cigale et le 2nd album aussi!!

Moi qui me plaignait sans cesse des mauvais clips locaux pour chanteur d'opérette, je me vois obligé de revoir mon jugement. Chapeau-bas à ce jeune grand monsieur qui une fois de plus montre qu'avec le potentiel de nos îles, il est possible de faire de la VRAIE qualité ! Merci.

@Cravan94 chayé kow(littéralement la vie charroie ton corps) : la vie te transporte, t'emmène, dans la chanson Erik donne des conseils à une femme dépité par la vie, la souffrance probablement amoureuse. Il lui demande de s'accrocher à la vie d'une certaine façon
Cravan94
Superbe. Quelqu'un pourrait-il traduire le texte ?
