Abby Morain - Outside (Radio Edit) by VonChay Inc.

The musical style in this song is very similar to that of Patrice Roberts, Nadia Batson and Fay-Ann Lyons. “Outside” falls into the sub-genre of Caribbean music known as groovy soca, and it is beautifully performed by Abby Morain, who is from the Caribbean island of Grenada. This rendition is very vocal-centric, soulful and rhythmic, with a very groovy beat that you can certainly bounce to. It is quite catchy and captivating, and it creates an ecstatic mood that makes you feel very festive. This is attributed to the fact that the song tells the story of what the world went through, after facing heavy COVID-19 restrictions for approximately two years, which resulted in lock-downs and our inability to party and celebrate as we were accustomed to. Abby sings about the frustration that was faced during the lock-down period, and she reflects on how much life was taken for granted prior to that. After two years of waiting while governments debated, restrictions have been lifted and we are finally outside; able to party, free-up our bodies and jam on somebody.
