Tabia Featuring Nathy "Boom Boom Boom " Remix

This video was released just a few days ago and the buzz on it has spread like wildfire. The song which is featured on the Boom Boom riddim produced by Curty and Leebo has shined a light on Vincy native Tabia. Tabia , who is in her second year on the Soca Scene has already made her impact in her homeland and the ripple effect can be felt in St.Lucia and now France!

Last year, Tabia debuted with her soca single “ Feeling it “ featuring seasoned Vincy artist Luta. Both fall under the umbrella of the Lime Soca Dans along with names such as Fireman Hooper, Jamesy P, DJ Taurus. And as the only female Lime Soca Dan currently St.Vincent took heed , so that in 2009 when she released 3 songs all were well received. She made it into Ragga Soca Monarcg performing the original version of “Boom Boom Boom” . Review by popular soca blog site (www.nurse-karen.com) mentioned in a review of the finals that “Tabia - vocally strong, she looked hotter than ever, showing an edgier more grown up version of herself to the crowd. She should be proud tonight. She really rocked it.”

Though she may not have won, she caught the attention of many. And she is continuing to do so with this edgy video which accentuates the beauty of St.Lucia. The collaboration of a French rapper, Nathy may have taken many by surprise but when asked why such an approach, Tabia responded firmly “we are trying to penetrate the European market, he’s trying to get more exposure in the Caribbean , And I am trying to get exposure in France so why not fuse the 2? That way one market would quicker accept the other, or give a listening ear”

The video shoot lasted just about 2 days with locations mostly in the northern area of St.Lucia especially the Windjammer Landing and Pulse nightclub. It was that period of time that Nathy and Tabia actually met, and the chemistry was instant allowing it to be evident on screen. Tabia explains how it was behind the scenes “it was surprisingly easy...we all really clicked, the camera crew especially Manuel is very down to earth, so never for a moment was I uncomfortable; and being my first time, I wasn’t nervous, I mean I have watched a million music videos so doing one for my own, I was more than happy and very calm. Knowing at the end of it, it is Our video! “

Her homeland has taken in all her recent success as Local Tv stations are calling in for a copy. The sky is the limit for this amazing artist. Do enjoy and do not forget to follow Tabia on Twitter (www.twitter.com/tabiamusic ) or www.myspace.com/tabiamusic or www.facebook.com/tabiamusic . Stay in the know on her future projects til then enjoy this video directed by Emanuelle Bruch out of France!
