Co-written by Hopkins, Sarah Morey and Erin McCaffrey, the new song shares anecdotes from Pamela’s career as a club performer and how she effectively handles men who approach her:

“This song has a been a long time coming,” says Pamela. “Working in a bar/club performing week after week, I am approached a lot, and I have to be (a) straight (shooter) with people about my relationship status because people can come on really strong—it also usually comes with, ‘can I buy you a drink?’ So we put the 2 concepts together because I generally only drink shots of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey—not that fruity stuff, beer, or wine,  This idea of the double meaning for ‘Straight Shooter’ seemed like the perfect fit for me.  This was a really fun co-write with Sarah Morey and Erin McCaffrey.  They were great co-writers for me on this idea, I feel like there are a lot of people who can relate!”

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

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.
