Local singing sensation, Clifton ‘Passion’ Adolphus known for songs such as Me Alone, Ah come out to Dance and Abusive is set to release two new singles this weekend.
The two songs titled Caribbean wine and Inside the party, according to the 31-year-old, will be released for the first time on Television stations such as HJtv 72, NCN-11, HBTV-9, NTN-69 and HGtv 16 as well as MBC Ch 42.
These songs are Groovy Soca-styled. The Caribbean wine is a humorous way of describing the gyrations of persons of various body types and there is also a shame face wine being portrayed by the X-Factor dance group and members of the Trendsetters Sounds.
Inside the party is specifically for people who have not gone to a party in a long time and possibly will meet that special someone. The videos filmed in Guyana at the Umbrella resort were produced by the Gathering of the People Television Productions.
Passion who has contested six soca monarch titles, unsuccessfully, opted out this year because he says entering the competition has proven more of a financial burden to him with little or no results or compensation.
The local singer who wishes that he could have made a career out of singing says he is constantly on the grind but cannot at this time. “I haven’t given up on the Soca monarch competition because if you win there is much to be gained so I took a rest this year but I will be back”.
He let on that he is currently more focussed on producing his tracks and as a result he’s also hoping to help other perspective artistes who want to get their music produced but can’t afford it. He’s also in the business of writing songs for artistes.
To date passion has 21 songs fully recorded to his name and some are still to be released. He has also launched an album titled ‘Flavour of the Caribbean’ that featured production work from Kingdom Friends’, Kross Kolor Records, Dynamics and Platinum studios.
