This song grows on you, the more you hear it is the more you like!! It also has serious international dance club appeal!

This new 'Power Groovy' pace track from Nailah Blackman on the Jamette Riddim is really nice. I especially like the touch of 'French creole' words that Nailah uses in this song, makes the vibe of this song very authentic to match the theme of the song about the Damn Lorraine who was the Queen of the original Jamette Carnival mas characters during the early T&T Carnivals of the 1800's after slavery was abolished. Back in those days most of the T&T Jamette Carnival population spoke 'French creole'.
The lyric video is also a good marketing move. This song could help to stir more interest in some of our traditional mas characters like the Damn Lorraine by some of Nailah's young fans! :-)

I think "Buss Head" did so for stick fighting. I believe therefore this is a safe assumption.

If u played this song on speakers there is NO WAY you could say its not great! This is a great soca club song that you can hear during or after carnival.

First time i heard Nailah sing a piece of this song was on IG on her guitar. I loved that acoustic version. I love Anson’s riddim separately and i love Nailah’s song separately but I guess hearing them together has to grow on me. I respect her being different tho. She surely is “jeune et libre”- young and free 😊 Oooh! Another thing, I really thought she was saying “Mirez ! mirez! Mirez” instead of mi deh.... mirez is a call to look and stare, kinda low key wish she said that 😉😉

Trust me when I say. This tune has to be played LOUD!! You will see how hot this song is.

This song is very seductive!
I especially like when she sings the French/patois; I can see the Dame Lorraine inviting you to get pulverized by her mammoth appendages.
I can see the character backing up a man on a wall and beating him to death with that big bam bam.
Nailah is growing on me.... I appreciate and applaud her daring to be different! Her writing is permeated with imagery of all kinds as well and, as a Literature major, I revel in that.
Just take the "juicy pineapples" image; you get visual, gustatory (taste) , olfactory (smell) and tactile (touch) in that one line. And then just think about the recommendation/ myth that women should eat pineapples if they want to enhance their feminine attar, especially before a re
The riddim also reminds me of Olatunji's "Bam Bam".

If Nailah makes a music video for this song set in the mid to late 1800's (after slavery was abolished) with some big bottom Dame Lorraine's celebrating J'ouvert morning during the Jamette Carnival in T&T and causing a spectacle for the onlookers then everyone will understand the history lesson in this song and it can even take off as an international hit.
It will also be good to get a J'ouvert road mix for this song! ;-)

Well done to Nailah Blackman and Anson Pro on this song getting to over 100K in YouTube views in exactly 2 months of it being uploaded to this YouTube channel.
This soca track has a nice dance club vibe to it which could see it doing well in mainstream music clubs with the right marketing and promotion. Looking forward to seeing a good music video for this song soon as I've heard rumours that a music video is coming.

She keeps representing The Trini culture in a modern way but still hooks you into interest as to what these things are about...makes you want to research Trinidadadian culture...

For those who don't understand the cultural meaning of this song, you should check the credits published with the video above where they explain what the word Jamette means and where it comes from.
In regards to the Dame Lorraine, she was the Queen of the many Jamette Carnival mas characters that emerged during the old time Jamette Carnivals of the mid to late 1800's after Slavery was abolished.
Nailah speaks a bit of French in the song because back in those days most of the T&T Jamette Carnival characters spoke 'French creole' including the Dame Lorraine.
In this song Nailah basically relates how the Dame Lorraine would behave during those original Jamette Carnival celebrations.

This Jamette Riddim reminds me a bit of some of the hits songs that Swappi did about 4 to 5 years ago as it has a similar vibe and soca beat. So maybe Swappi might be a good artist to add to this Jamette Riddim later on if he shows interest in being on this riddim. I could also picture Machel Montano or Denise Belfon sounding good on this riddim.

reminds me of the 40ft riddim

Today, the Dame Lorraine traditional character appears as a female dressed in the style of a rich planter’s wife. However, in the beginning, the Dame Lorraine was not a single character. In fact, the Dame Lorraine was a collective of characters who took part in an elaborate skit or parody of these early French Planters. Long ago, this theatrical performance would take place on Dimanche Gras.

The Dame Lorraine poked fun not only at the elaborate festivities of the rich planters but also their physical infirmities. The name of each character was in French Creole. These names were very descriptive and pinpointed certain bodily defects. At one time, the big bottom and the big breasts were worn by separate characters. Today, both are combined into one outfit, worn by one character. In the past, mostly men portrayed Dame Lorraines. As of late, mostly women portray the character. (NCCTT)

She nows how to make a hit, nice riddim, thumbs up this comment if u agree

Has potential but the riddim is missing a nice continuous synthy sound in the background to carry a nice melody.

Im a huge fan of Nailah but im not a fan of this one. Blehhhh...Too much going on.

Atrini NN

6y↑3

SocaPhD yip it has an international vibe for sure. Nailah music has more of an international appeal as oppose to just a carnival thing. Even Bodyline is more of an international song. But we have to get use to it as we both would agree alot of musical fusion is taking place. Not saying its a bad song its just one im not too keen on hearing. Respect

SocaPhD

6y↑4

I understand but this grows on you the more you hear it. I have DJed in European clubs over the years and this is the sort of vibe Europeans go for in their dance clubs.

Atrini NN

6y↑2

SocaPhD i actually doubt it but this will make a good segue to Bodyline by Olatunji which im not a big fan of. Lace me up with some liquor and ill dance to it...its just one of my least favorite songs .

SocaPhD

6y↑7

When you hear this tune on a big sound system you will change your mind about too much going on. This can be a big club banger in clubs anywhere and can be easily appreciated by non-soca people as well.

I love nailh

Peter DeCoteau

Honestly I am not sure where Nailah going with this song. It is more techno-soca. I have no problem with that. Musician should be free to experiment. If the listeners doh like it, they would not buy the music. I don't hear any French Caribbean influence in the song. No cadence, zouk or Haitian compa influence in the song. People must realize that the french cultural influence in TT is almost gone. How many people speak creole or patois. Very few. But she is still figuring out her self.Keep on trying new things.

Chris Govia

I think she's trying to infiltrate bacchanal Jamaica with shenseea on the riddim

You understand the bigger picture and its called good marketing beyond T&T Carnival.

K Family

6y↑1

Song has too many elements in my opinion.

SocaPhD

Not in my opinion. Soca music has always had more elements/instruments that most other music genres. This is standard practice for soca music and adds to the excitement you get from the music especially when it is blasting on the streets during carnival.

The song good but it do not have no meaning. If u can tell me the meaning of the song then i will like the song

Chandy's Kitchen

Ok so nailah officially sang her first piece of pure shit.

SocaPhD

6y↑1

That is your opinion. In my opinion Nailah is singing about the behaviour of a traditional T&T mas character called the "Dame Lorraine" that has been around since the mid-1800's when slavery was abolished and Jamette Carnival became the most popular in T&T and took over from the European style Mardi Gras Balls. The younger generations need to learn the history of how urban working class people in T&T created T&T Carnival rather than Europeans who today try to take most of the credit.
In addition this track has an international club vibe and Nailah also sings in French which will also attract the attention of French and French-Creole speaking audiences. This could turn out to be her most popular song internationally if Nailah gets signed to a major label that can do the right marketing for Nailah and this song. This song is not just aimed at Carnival audiences but I do understand that the long-term vision for this song can go above most person's head.
