“Waitin on U” by Kati Cooke delivers a light-hearted hit
Following the success of her debut, Kati Cooke returns, bringing all the vibes with her sophomore single, “Waitin on U.” This pop-R&B anthem is Cooke’s second release as an independent artist, and it’s clear she’s got a knack for creating breezy melodies that get under your skin in the best way possible. The song deftly accentuates the intricacies of the flirtatious dynamic while conveying a message to anyone who has ever experienced being left in romantic limbo.
“Waitin on U” is a sassy, energetic track that skillfully captures the subtle complexities of playing hard to get. The song immerses listeners in the turbulent rollercoaster of romantic emotions through engaging hooks and emotionally charged lyrics. The chorus is an earworm that effectively conveys the bittersweet frustration of the chase in romantic relationships, portraying the delicate stage where love is still in the game of pursuit. Kati’s silky vocals glide effortlessly, complementing the infectious rhythm as she sings about the all-too-relatable theme of being aware of someone’s interest while they remain hesitant to acknowledge it.
This song’s polished production features fun and depth that infuses each line with a mix of sass, making it incredibly stand out. While it’s undeniably a feel-good bop that begs for repeated plays, there’s also an underlying layer of vulnerability beneath its playful exterior. Kati’s lyrics tap into the uncertainty and jittery excitement that come with the romantic tension of being in that awkward stage of almost love, elevating “Waitin on U” beyond just a catchy tune.
The Yorkshire-born artist seamlessly incorporates influences from pop icons such as Madison Beer and Ariana Grande to create a signature charm that’s as addictive as waiting for that special someone to make a move. Kati Cooke solidifies her position as an emerging star, establishing her presence within the music industry, and her track “Waitin on U” attests to her enduring presence. It’s prudent to monitor her progress as she is merely at the threshold of her career.

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.
