Frolic...
okay, its been long awaited... and with all the controversy and hype surrounding it, I thought it deserved its own thread.

new album by Burning Flames... dedicated to Onika.... finally released in Antigua this weekend.

It took a minute and alot of thought, but I think it is safe to say now that I am hooked. I ent gonna say too much, cuz I wanna hear your analyses.

Title track: Frolic. A tribute to Onika, and admittedly one of my favorite tunes

Radio: first tune on the album to grab me off the bat. Lif an drap dah renkin tune deh.. RADAW

Dung Tung... sweet sweet pan tune. classic.

Dun Dem... de lyrics say it all... "de harder dey come... de more megah dun dem".. Oungku cannot done

Badminded... first listen, thought it sounded just like the old stuff... ie "Live CD" but second, third, and fourth listen... definitely guh mash up de road an Lions...

Zest.. Ester soundin pretty darn good wid this nice jump up tune.

anyway, those are my faves. lemme know what yall think. Benjie, whey you? I know you had to hear it arready.

I was kinda suprised that Kyia only had one song (Sweet Spot). But I guess he is still developing her.

So is she the permanent choice for the band?

quick like you, i knew youd be on point.

I like Sweet Spot, its real catchy. Its kinda weird though, but I think both ladies soundin REAL close to Onika. I dont know if its due to Oungku's guidance or what... but its reeeal close.

I believe both her and Esther are permanaent. That was what Oungku wanted with Esther and Onika but it never worked out. Might have been bad timing.

That is due to Oungku. When he writes a song, it is intended to be sung in a particular way.

i just realized that in Frolic, their is a part where he names all her songs. that just makes all the more special. wonderful song, wonderful tribute. .
