When a musician knows deep in his soul that his moment has arrived, there’s an unmistakable buzz in and around his music.  On the forthcoming debut Atlantic album from Rupee, that buzz is deafening. Acclaimed in the competitive and fertile cultural hothouse of the yearly Caribbean carnivals, Rupee’s readiness for the world spotlight has been building ever since he won his first Barbados talent competition as a young teenager.  His first hit records, with the band Coalishun, followed by a string of smashes from three self-released solo albums, have made Rupee one of the foremost names in soca (soul + calypso) – the supercharged party music of the Caribbean.  He has won over masses of jubilant fans through his high-energy soca performances at festivals and concerts throughout the Caribbean, North America, and Europe.   Now, Rupee is poised to capture the global mainstream audience with his storming stage show and his brilliantly creative and eclectic new album, scheduled for U.S. release in October 2004.  At once rhythmically complex, yet instantly catchy, it is a tuneful, non-stop concoction of the flavorful, the intoxicating, and the irresistibly danceable.  Spearheaded by “Tempted To Touch,” the lead-off single, Rupee joins the eruption of innovative urban-influenced Caribbean artists who are changing the face of music worldwide. “I wanted to accomplish a diversity in this album, and expose different sides of soca music,” says Rupee.  “I didn’t want to tread a fixed line.  We used a lot of acoustic guitar and percussion, and a lot of universal sounds:  you can hear rock, R&B, and hardcore reggae in it, as well as pure soca.  I think it’s possible to bring various elements of music to the soca art form, and that can bring it to a wider audience.  A lot of younger artists feel that way as well, and I see it as a benefit to the music.  It creates a bridge.”   .” “Caribbean music as a whole has had a marvelous resurgence in the last two years,” Rupee reflects.  “The likes of Sean Paul, Shaggy, Elephant Man have opened doors for soca to walk through.  It’s a beautiful thing.  With the background I have, it’s natural for me to experiment, and I think it’s necessary and good for the music.  Music is all about evolution and progression.”   "Tempted To Touch" - Rupee (Video) windows hi: http://wm.atlrec.com/rupee/video/temptedtotouch_moviefootage_450.wmv windows med: http://wm.atlrec.com/rupee/video/temptedtotouch_moviefootage_300.wmv windows lo: http://wm.atlrec.com/rupee/video/temptedtotouch_moviefootage_100.wmv real: http://mfile.akamai.com/9139/rm/warnermusi1.download.akamai.com/12529 /streams/atleeg/atlrec/rupee/video/temptedtotouch_moviefootage.rm
