Released just in time for the Tobago October Carnival, Soca artiste Jumaane "Juby" Cox spoke with TV6's Elizabeth Williams about the inspiration behind his latest single 'Elevator' More in this report.
00:00Open the gate, it's level waistline, heat in the place, girl when it come to your, when it come to your waist, she said the elevator only going one direction, she going down, she going, I get the miss out on the first, you have to wait till the next one.
00:18Juby's elevator isn't just a song, it's a mood. The track fuses the infectious energy of Tobago's carnival with that unmistakable island groove. Juby says the elevator is more than just a catchy hook, it's a playful metaphor for movement, confidence and a celebration.
00:40You see an all the dancing and all the grooving and that kind of vibe, all it is be challenging men when all they start to go down. But because they have a certain confidence, it's why me and the team, we decided that here's what's going on, we're going to put together a song that's speaking directly to women in the party who go in one direction.
01:01Elevator celebrates the art of dance as language, playful, sensual and full of rhythm.
01:07Juby is one of the artists that, yes, I'm singing calypso and soca, but I'm really trying to instill that vibe. You know what I mean? Contrary to what you're going through in your life and thing, this is the vibe that we just naturally give up, which is a positive vibe, a feel good spirit. And ladies, all you free up all yourself, I'm just asking all you to give me a wine to remember and all the fellas who want the good vibes, give me a wine to remember.
01:33With Tobago Carnival around the corner, Julie Cox is hoping to have an unforgettable season. Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
