He is the frontman of the immensely popular soca band Xtatik, and is noted for his high energy, fast-paced, and often unpredictable on-stage performances. During his career, which spans over 25 years, he has recorded several songs alongside many of Caribbean music's most popular acts, such as Alison Hinds, Beenie Man, Calypso Rose, Burning Flames, Drupatee, Red Rat, Shaggy, Sparrow, Denise Belfon, Destra, Wyclef Jean, Vybz Kartel, G-Unit, Black Stalin, Mr. Vegas, Doug E Fresh and many others. He now stands as the most sought after soca act in the World.
Born in South Trinidad, Machel attended Presentation College a prestigious secondary school in Trinidad where he was in the choir. Machel first shot to fame as a young boy with the song "Too Young To Soca". In 1984 along with brothers and neighbours the group Parnasonic Express was started and in 1989, the band became Xtatik. The band developed and was re-invented by leader Machel several times as Xtatik 5.0, The Xtatik Circus, Xtatik The Road Marching Band, The Band of the Year and many others. Every year Machel has a new concert to keep his band and his performances fresh.
This year, 2007 they are known as Machel Montano HD (High Definition) and he promotes the concept by saying that he is the first human being to go HD. He is part of the huge campaign in Trinidad and Tobago promoting safe driving - Arrive Alive. Part of the hype surrounding the ever-evolving Machel this year is his HD tour bus. A 20 year old bus from the Public Transport Service Corporation was re-done and includes a bedroom, bathroom facilities, flat screen TVs, inernet access and expansive audio systems. The HD concept seems fitting as the band Xtatik has in the last few years the band has risen to a new level of musicality as each performance is very tight musically and has foreign influences such as Ernesto Luis Gutirrez, its Venezualan percussionist. Kernal Roberts, the son of the late, great Lord Kitchener, internationally famous calypsonian has picked up the role as Xtatik's drummer and musical director and has brought new life to the band.
Montano was also instrumental in the promotion of soca music during the BBC's radio show called 1Xtra. He has released many successful singles, with and without Xtatik, during his career, such as "Big Truck" (Xtatik's most successful single, which won the Road March title in 1997), "Outa Space" (with Beenie Man), "Music Farm" (Xtatik), "It's Carnival" (with Destra), "Band Of The Year" (with Patrice Roberts)(Road March Song for 2006), and "Jumbie" (Road March Song for 2007). Most recently, Montano has taken on a new stage title, refering to himself and his band as "Machel Montano HD" (High Definition), which he claims is a representation of the the evolution of his music over the last 25 years and highly improved style in which his music shall be presented to his fans over radio formats, television, and during live performances.
One More Time
Machel Montano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All she say she wanted, was one wine from me
All she said she needed, was a little bit of my time
She never expected to get so addicted to my wine
She said, are you gonna hurt me? Am I a sadistic?
A victim of your circumstances, or will I just get evicted
From this loving safety, please don't disappoint me
Not this time
[Chorus]
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One more time (one more time)
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One last time (one last time)
Ah said, oh oh oh oye, oh oh oh oh
Ah said, oh oh oh oye, oh oh oh oh
Ah said, oh oh oh oh oh oye, oh oh oh oh
One more time, just wine
[Verse 2]
All she requested was one wine from me
All that she insisted was to have a really really good time
But it never manifested the way that she projected in her mind
She said, are you gonna forget me, is your life so hectic
Tell me you not leaving, cause I can't do without it
Please don't disappoint me, oh I'm begging you baby
Not this time
[Chorus]
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One more time (one more time)
One last wine (one more wine)
One more time
[Bridge]

(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat
(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat

[Outro]
One more (one more time)
One more (one more time)
One more time
In Machel Montanoβs song βOne More Timeβ, the singer talks about a woman who wanted to have a good time, and all she requested was one wine from him. The beat of the music is fast-paced and energetic, and the rhythm is consistent throughout the song. In the first verse, we can see that the girl had only asked for one wine, but she got so addicted to it that she wanted one more time. She questions if he is going to hurt her, or if she is a victim of his circumstances, or if she will get evicted from the loving safety sheβs gotten used to. She pleads with him not to disappoint her this time.
In the chorus, she asks for just one more wine and one more time, hoping that he wonβt disappoint her. The bridge seems to suggest that the girl is confident and persistent in getting what she wants, and she has a substantial backside. In the third verse, she tells him she is in love with him, since the first time he came behind her and gave her that sweet wine. She calls him every day, asking for more, saying she wants him on the bed and the floor, before the chorus repeats again.
