Experience the mesmerizing rhythms of Shadow’s Sweet Sweet Dreams, originally released in 1984 and now reissued by Analog Africa. This album, by the talented Winston Bailey from Trinidad and Tobago, has become a treasured gem among music enthusiasts, despite its initial lack of commercial success.
Shadow, an iconic figure in calypso music, effortlessly blends traditional calypso with the vibrant energy of soca. His journey began in a humble household, where he wrote songs while working in the fields, ultimately choosing calypso over more conventional genres. In Sweet Sweet Dreams, Shadow addresses timeless themes of love and relationships, showcasing a different side to his artistry.
Recorded at the renowned SHARC studios, this reissue features remastered tracks filled with heavy synth riffs and infectious soca beats that have earned it a spot among the best calypso and soca records available today. Accompanied by exclusive photos, liner notes, and the dancefloor favorite ‘D’Hardest’ as a bonus track, this album is a celebration of Caribbean music.
