By NAN ET Writer

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. May 12, 2023: Grammy-winning Jamaican star Shaggy has gone soca!

The star has teamed up with Trinidad and Tobago soca stars Patrice Roberts and Kes, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines Skinny Fabulous to launch ‘In The Mood,’ a 7-track EP that leans in heavily on the genre of soca.

Drawing from inspiration from the vibrancy of the Caribbean, and the fast-paced exuberance of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, Shaggy applies elements of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and Dancehall by way of the soca hitmakers.
