12. Orlando Octave, “Single”

Orlando Octave - Single (2017 Soca)

“Plenty gal have maaaaan, acting like they single!” Orlando Octave‘s mix-up song became the ladies anthem for 2017… which was quite ironic. With vintage Trini wit, Orlando tells the story of many ah woman in the dances, over a Central Records produced-rhythm. This one had all the ladies in any fete singing word for word. — Paul Parris
