Synopsis

Album Description
The summer?s hottest hit is already here - Kevin Lyttle?s sexy, Caribbean sunshine-soaked smash "Turn Me On." The track is already a global phenomenon, Top 5 on virtually every international chart, and now it?s exploding at Top 40 radio and MTV in the US. With that success, Kevin has not only established himself as a dynamic new global star, he also is in the vanguard of artists who are emerging from the Caribbean with a range of exciting new musical hybrids poised to follow the surge of dancehall reggae into worldwide prominence. Kevin?s fresh and innovative fusion of Caribbean soca music, American hip hop/R&B and Jamaican dancehall was the smash of St. Vincent?s yearly Carnival in 2002. Through Kevin?s live performances, the song saturated the entire Caribbean, spread to Caribbean communities in North America and the U.K, and eventually reached mainstream clubs and radio across several European countries and Japan. Over a two-year period of mounting popularity, and without any official international release until now, "Turn Me On" has emerged as soca?s biggest international crossover hit in 20 years. His self-titled debut album promises to be as groundbreaking and eclectic as his single, teaming Kevin with a slate of top names from the fields of dancehall, hip hop and soca, including Jeremy Harding (Sean Paul, Tanto Metro & Devonte, Beenie Man); Tony Kelly (T.O.K., Sean Paul, Sasha) and Salaam Remi (Nas, Ini Kamoze, Fugees), as well as "Turn Me On" hit collaborator Adrian Bailey.

CD Reviews

Great First Album!!!
John Smith | 07/31/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just love his huge hit, "Turn Me On". It is the best song on the CD, but the rest come close, too, because it's all good. His voice is smooth, and his songs make you want to get up and dance. He is from the Caribbean, and was such a hit that he made it on the charts all over the world. The style that he sings is called "Soca", a mix between Soul and Calypso. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dance songs, R&B, or reggae. Great job, Kevin Lyttle. A++++++++"
A perfect summer of '04 cd.

""Turn me on on" will help us remember the summer that was 2004. I also liked "My Lady", "Screaming out my Name" and "Dance with me". It won't win any Grammys but if you just want to chill and have fun, Kevin Lyttle is your man."
Very good for crossover soca

"I understand that a few people thought the lyrics of this album needed some work. They must not be very familiar with contemporay soca music. This is Party music. Not music for soul searching. In general party music tends to be focused on 3 things: wine(figuratively and literally),women and song.



Having said this, this album is an excellent example of caribbean party music. The melodies are catchy. The beat is infectious and makes you want to dance, groove , jam and wine. The songs flow well into each other and you can just play the cd for a good party without having to play dj.

This is SOCA FETE music. Play this when you just want to sweat and have a ball.

If you want lyrics or social commentary try CALYPSO, the more serious sister of soca.
