Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. October 25, 2011------Well who would’ve thought! Nadia Batson, Raymond Ramnarine and the Dil-E-Nadan crew are dishing out something that’s guaranteed to send party lovers wild ahead of Carnival 2012. This, even as T&T’s soca
sweetheart is putting the final touches on preparations for the launch of her all-female soca band on November 9th.
A promo for the band, which will be known as SASS, has already gone viral and is creating a bit of a stir ahead of launch date but even with that happening, Batson’s indisputably strong work ethic keeps her focused on this latest release alongside the Dil-E-Nadan band.

The sweetness of the spanking new single they’re calling Hard Pong, lies in its melody but with
lyrics to match the track’s melodious output, the song which was produced by Shaft Vibes
Entertainment and recorded at Backyard studios, will, by all indications be placed on heavy
rotation in the weeks ahead. Much like the promo video for the new band, Hard Pong has also
gone viral, hitting social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter on October 20. Many are
speculating that Batson will have a very successful 2012 season as her name seems to be
popping up everywhere, even on television, where she forms part of Synergy TV’s Soca Star 7
judging panel. Additionally, her collaboration with U.S. based soca artiste Lyrikal on a track
called Whey Yuh Want has been making the rounds and there’s also word that she’s got a
single on the Antilles riddim alongside Machel Montano, Kerwin Dubois and others that’s
guaranteed to make the ladies move.
Nadia Batson’s journey in entertainment region-wide has certainly made her one of the most
respected female singer/songwriters in the hemisphere. Her attitude is that of a go-getter and
for that reason she assures fans and supporters of music in general that 2012 will only be the
beginning of Soca’s list of greatest accomplishments- this as she seeks to offer something truly
dynamic and revolutionary. “ This is only just kicking off. I have so much to deliver to the
people and I’m so excited to do that,” she said enthusiastically. Her new lease on life these
days is owed primarily to the joy she foresees in being able to truly please the people of T&T,
the region and internationally- the way she feels they deserve to be pleased-with great music,
spectacular showmanship and lyrical appeal that goes beyond the ordinary. A look of what’s to
come from the ladies of SASS can be viewed on Facebook, Twitter and certainly YouTube.
November 9th however promises to be a date everyone will be talking about for months
thereafter.
Here's a sneak peak of what's to come:
