We’re keeping this one as a straightforward post, featuring the official release notes that accompanied the song on YouTube. Some listeners online are already suggesting it could be a contender for the Monarch competition. Opinions will vary, but here are the essentials.
“How Yuh Feeling” by Marq Pierre steps confidently into the classical calypso lane, posing a timely question for Trinidad & Tobago in the wake of the recent elections: Do you feel like you won? This is the million-dollar question that cuts deeper than it first appears.
Written by Chevannise Parks and produced by Damion Preston, the song leans on observation rather than confrontation, inviting listeners to reflect on the national mood instead of choosing sides. It’s a modern reminder of calypso’s enduring role as mirror, commentator, and conscience.
After the gaslighting, the slogans, and the votes, the song asks the question many are quietly wrestling with: Are you pleased with the outcome and the way the winning party is governing—and do you feel like a winner?
Now read the music release notes, listen to the song, and tell us if you think the singer was impartial or just disguising his true feelings about the election results.
The Artist's YouTube Music Release Notes:
Marq Pierre approaches How Yuh Feeling? as a non-partisan storyteller, grounded in the classical calypso tradition where truth, wit, and reflection outweigh political allegiance. His delivery is observational, not inflammatory—allowing facts, lived experiences, and public sentiment to speak for themselves.
Rather than championing or condemning any political entity, Marq positions himself as a voice of the people in transition—capturing uncertainty, hope, concern, and accountability in equal measure. He intends not to divide but to encourage informed reflection at a time when Trinidad and Tobago’s domestic choices intersect directly with CARICOM solidarity, Venezuela relations, and global power dynamics involving the United States and beyond.
How Yuh Feeling? ultimately asks one enduring question: after the slogans fade and the votes are counted—how does governance really feel?
