Trinidad-born soca-pop sensation Natalyah releases her new power-soca track Proper. The single was produced by award-winning Trinbagonian Soca & Chutney music producer, and sound engineer Rishi Mahato (Maha Productions) and written by songwriter Keegan Taylor (Ten Artistry) who has previously written songs for hitmakers Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin.
Described as powerful, sexy and catchy is an interesting variation in style for this singer who was born in San Fernando, Trinidad and raised in Switzerland. Natalyah, who is known for her smooth, sultry sound set to groovy instrumentals, truly desired to sing a power soca song and when presented the material by her collaborators instantly fell in love with the track as it immediately made her envision images of her and her friends in carnival costumes on a truck fully savoring the festival experience.
She said, “It’s so full of energy! I love it! I really miss carnival a lot when I sing this song. I feel so powerful when I sing it. It’s like I am unstoppable and it makes me feel like I can achieve anything I want.”
In keeping with her mission to deliver the sounds of the Caribbean to an international audience and break down barriers for the music of her homeland within the European market, the dynamic dual citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and Switzerland seeks to be crowned the next EUK Soca Monarch at the upcoming 2022 Europe United Kingdom Soca Monarch (EUKSM) competition. Online voting will determine the competition’s 2 finalists who will go onto to compete at the finals of the EUKSM carded for June 5th in England.
Even with a promising year ahead of her and ambitions of shattering glass ceilings for soca music and Caribbean culture in general, at the core of it all Natalyah’s main hope is to brighten someone’s day with her new song and keep the carnival spirit alive.
Proper is distributed through VPAL Music and is available now on all major streaming platforms.
