THIS IS HOW YOU TAKE CLASSIC SOCA CONCEPT FROM EXPLAINER AND TURN INTO MODERN MAGIC 🔥🇹🇹😮‍💨. The soundtrack for my Carnival escape and another anthem! Teja, yuh done it again bai! I said it already and I’ll say it again. You’re an asset to T&T and the region and you will take Soca to the world. The way you write and execute songs are unmatched, reminds me of legendary David Rudder. Big up Tano one time, the guitar and riddim section is everything on this 🔥 AH NEED AH LITTLE RUNAWAYYYY 🕺🏾

[@MicalTeja]

Thank you

[@Arti-fh5wp]

My exact thoughts!! Love the way Teja continues to pay homage to origin of our music ❤

[@benitawilson5161]

Literally took the words our my mouth...perfect explaination for this music piece.....the music and videography combined was on point....see classic in years to come and certainly a soundtrack for a movie. Well done again teja 👏 👏 👏 blessed with pure talent.

[@j.alcala8718]

Tienen tanta razòn en este comentario, yo soy fiel seguidora de este gènero musical desde muy niña y de verdad que estos arreglos me traen muchos recuerdos de como se interpretaba el calipso en èpocas pasadas. A mi me encanta!!! Congratulations, big up yourself Mical keep it up

[@darrylhp]

In Lorraine Pt 1, she was in the cold. Lorraine Pt 2, she is now in Trinidad, thanks Mical, what a lovely continuation of a great story.

[@lorraineedward459]

This Lorraine about to runaway to Trinbago for true!💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 🇱🇨🇹🇹🇱🇨🇹🇹

[@BabyNishNish]

It's is just me but for some reason the grandeur of this song from the well composed lyrics to the musical composition the masterpiece video concept has me so overwhelmed tears in my eyes I'm taken to a place where patriotism fills me and I'm proud to be a Trinidadian

[@GahJah]

nah I wasn't even born in Trinidad but I have carribbean parents and I was tearing up to this

[@sreshtha22]

It’s so beautiful ❤

[@karendougdeengokool9259]

It is one of those songs that makes your heart so proud you are a Trini. Timeless piece of music.

[@richardburton7940]

They are not ready for this young man. A star is born.

[@stellajackman-ryan5441]

This!

[@ninemindentertainment1855]

The David Rudder of this generation 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tanishalewis7591]

I said this the first time I saw him. He surely is our New Generation David Rudder...dripping talent.

[@miztrinithegoddessofficial]

Took de words out my mouth first person came to mind ♥️

[@ayanaskeete5104]

I was just saying this, he is indeed.

[@teemichelle876]

Runaway is similar to Soca Man.

[@mikaelofficial7182]

Facts

[@akilalleyne426]

I’m just sorry that Explainer himself didn’t live to hear this masterful sequel to his 1982 classic “Lorraine.” Well done, Mr. Teja, sir 👏👏👏

[@ruthmelicharles5062]

Dearest Trinidad, You are the mecca of soca. You've carpeted the world with endless sweet soca music. Mecal, your son of the soil, is a scoa champion, and I hope you continue to show him endless love for his remarkable talent and phenomenal writing skills. We're doing our part here in Grenada. His hits are soca anthems here. Love from Grenada 🇬🇩.

[@joshhayban6121]

This man knows soca 🔥🇹🇹❤️ ......this is it here for me 🇹🇹this man drop the best songs for the carnival, only vibes 🔥🇹🇹🔥🇹🇹🔥🇹🇹🔥🇹🇹❤️

[@starleetabrown9603]

I swear he is the David Rudder of our time!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@animegirlzzzz7483]

The scream that I let out when I heard "Lorraine say it cold out in new york city " for the first time lord. This song so sweet.

[@InquisitiveObserver-dt3uw]

Mical Teja deserves a Grammy

[@busupshot83]

That award system is toxic and been ignoring West Indians for decades… we doh need them.

[@anastasiaabrahim9096]

Agreed! They don’t think our music is worth it

[@thislioncahtame]

"SAY SHE PRAYERS & SHE OUTSIDE!" ✈️🇹🇹🔥

[@user-lj8kk9sq2b]

No , half naked women degrading themselves. Pure talent, classy behavior and good vibes. Love it ! ❤🎉

[@curtiskatk]

Very well said this is just a simple and very sweet song

[@carla3881]

True dat! Had the same thought

[@genevievedanglade1669]

Gosh I thought the same! Beautiful but the tune is so blissfully good that there was no need for any of that to make it good. Or maybe it shows that you CAN have people love your song with a creative video that doesn't have to involve extreme naked gyration. Awesome tune AND awesome video.

[@sygno4871]

Ent...MY observation as well

[@bluisdead2034]

Why are you judging the youth smh😂😂

[@risacjones]

Say a pray & she outside ❤❤❤, love this song!

[@genevievedanglade1669]

I usually don't much like sampling because I find it tends to lack ingenuity. This is NOT that. This is a way to take the beautiful idea that is "Lorraine" and bring it to 2024 with a flair, creativity, genius and sheer loveliness, a brand new birth, but yet with all the stellar vibes of the old. A thing of beauty all on its own yet there is no mistaking where the inspiration came from. Mical you have officially become a force to be reckoned with. A style all your own, step up there with the Machels and the Kesses.

[@cyncharlo6226]

Love the classyness in it...real genuine God bless. Didn't have to show a set of nakedness to make a real hit😊❤❤❤❤

[@melissaroberts-john2929]

Is the date Mical's birthday???...if so, it just shows how talented this young man is, to turn a classic song ten years his senior into a modern day hit...well done!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@alyssaarneaudgonzales9777]

One of my favorite songs this carnival 2024. I love my culture ❤️

[@shalomgirdharie]

Mical DOES IT EVERY TIMEEEEEE! A mas haveee to play! Gosh i love my sweet Home 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@BAKANAAL69]

A FRESH TAKE ON A OLD CLASSIC YOU IZ AH BOSS 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
