Son Stone serves soul and memories in new single “Old Fashioned”

Honk Magazine

Son Stone’s new single, “Old Fashioned,” is a smooth sip of memories mixed in a soulful groove, a song that sounds like it’s been in your life forever yet lands with the freshness of the never-before. In this recording, Son Stone achieves a blend of traditional and contemporary music that fits just perfectly. “Old Fashioned” beckons listeners into a room where memories swirl like ice in a lowball glass. The backing instrumentation is lush and natural, a rhythm section that throbs with subtle confidence.

“Old Fashioned” impresses with its clever literal manipulations on the drink’s name and phenomenological dives into the depths of connection, longing and the kind of love that stays with you like an old favorite record. The words are not quite sad but affectionate for something that’s gone as an image dimmed around the edges. What’s unique about “Old Fashioned” is the ease with which it occupies two worlds. It could slot in comfortably next to soul classics without missing a beat, but there’s something undeniably contemporary about the production, the emotional clarity.

Stone’s “Old Fashioned” delivers an equally good performance. His vocal delivery is lived-in and earnest-sounding, he’s someone recounting a story they know by heart. There are no vocal acrobatics here, it’s about tone, control and emotion. In “Old Fashioned,” Son Stone offers a pocket of time. It’s listening to memories without regret, a way of letting the past breathe in the present. Whether you’re sipping a drink or contemplating just your thoughts, this is a track to spin again.

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.
