Parka & Velvet’s “Perfection plan” dares to be honest about fitting in
In an environment where life can sometimes seem like a never-ending audition for approval, Parka & Velvet serve as a refreshing reminder that it’s all right to feel out of step. Their new single, “Perfection plan,” is a pop-folk gem that captures the quiet exhaustion of contorting oneself to fit into a world dominated by appearances. As the second single from Parka & Velvet, “Perfection Plan” reinforces the duo’s dedication to music that prioritises substance over spectacle.
The duo draws you into a world of naked honesty, where all facades are thrown to the wayside and raw emotion takes center stage. The song resonates with anyone who’s ever felt like a bystander instead of a participant, watching the social theater of life roll out its act while silently pining away for honesty. “Perfection plan” finds that balance between reflection and accessibility, thanks to gentle instrumentation and melodic sincerity, which is a known signature of the Parka & Velvet sound.
What is remarkable to me is the manner in which the pair position fragility not as a liability, but as a common ground. The lyrics not only depict the journey towards self-discovery, but also honor individuals with unwavering integrity who refuse to compromise their authenticity in the face of external pressures. It’s a rare openness in a genre that one can hear lean sometimes toward overproduction or polish at the expense of heart. This song serves as a companion for those grappling with social expectations, reminding listeners that perfection is frequently an illusion and that the bravery to be different deserves recognition.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
