In our weekly new soca releases for 2020, the Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds is celebrating the Caribbean with her brand new song ‘West Indians’. In a post to her fans this week via her social media, the Bajan Queen said:
‘This project has been a labour of absolute love for a little while now and I am very proud to finally be able to share it with you. West Indian is an anthem for us, about us and by us! We need to celebrate us!’
Over the years, the Caribbean Soca Queen has given us many timeless classics and we believe this one is definitely another great anthem in the making.
