It contains a combination of upbeat songs which takes listeners on a musical journey, some of which were shot with alluring St. Maarten scenes as the backdrop.
The new album will undoubtedly propel Shadow Man a few notches up the popularity scale as a serious and entertaining musician in the Caribbean, while showcasing St. Maarten as an appealing destination.
His contemporary Caribbean genre represents the best of St. Maarten and all things Caribbean and is a mixture of Soca, Calypso, ballads and hip hop crossover.
