13. Kes – Fallin
A talented vocalist with a penchant for invigorating, feelgood lyrics and an ear for melodic instrumentals, Kes is one soca artist who has definitely found his niche. Every year he reaffirms his status as soca’s lover boy, releasing blissful tracks that provide a sweet escape from the high-energy releases that tend to dominate once Carnival comes around each year. “Fallin” is a soundtrack for masquerade bliss, encouraging listeners to follow as Kes advocates partying literally to his physical limit (i.e. “falling down.”) Between Mad Men Production’s captivating production and Kes’ memorable hook, this was one of those Carnival anthems that was impossible to ignore this year.. —LargeUp Crew
