Booser Shot: Ricky T announces a "break" from SLU Records
>> Thursday, July 23, 2009
St. Lucian soca star Ricky T made a solemn announcement on Radio Caribbean International in an interview around 12:30 this afternoon. The artiste shared his displeasure with the management arrangment with SLU records.
Having just won Power Soca Monarch, Caribbean Soca Monarch and Road March during St. Lucia Carnival 2009, the artiste sounded troubled as he shared his intention. "I'm supposed to feel happy, but I'm not that happy. The way things going between 758 and I, " said Ricky T of his management. "The friendship has been breaking off."
He went on to enlighten listeners about his desire to release more than one song in 2009, a desire that was left unsatisfied by those in control.
"I know there is a God. With that one song, I was able to maintain all my titles," said Ricky T.
Ricky T mentioned that he would like to take a rest, and admits that he does not know whether he will be able to tour in the near future.
"When you feel like the trust is not there anymore, you're not feeling the vibe. I feel I should take a rest," said Ricky T.
The artist discussed the atmosphere behind the scenes at Power Soca Monarch. He said that when he won the title, his team was not present to celebrate with him, but his girlfriend and his father.
"Representing St. Lucia is one of the greatest thing I ever did," Ricky T added as he discussed worry over letting down fans and family members who depend on him.
The interview was replayed around 1:00 pm, following the reading of my 2007 print feature on Ricky T for WE Magazine. Read it here:
