City will persevere during this
crisis,” Mulé continued. “Congratulations
to all the artists
involved and especially Daria
Primus for her song ‘Social
Distance.’”
Primus, who is responsible
for Tropicalfete’s Voices, told
Caribbean Life that she felt
“incredibly amazing” to win
the competition.
“As I previously stated, all
artists in the competition
were very talented,” she said.
“So, to be the chosen one, I
feel proud, happy and overwhelmed.”
Primus said her friends,
family members and fans of
her music “voted and forwarded
it to others for them to
vote.
“And, to all of these people
who voted for me, I’m grateful
and humbled by the effort they
gave,” she said. “I have always
believed that when kids can
jam to your music, especially
music in the making, you have
a great song on your hands.
“And I’ve always tested this
out on my daughter, who is
now 14 years and is sometimes
included in my performances,”
Primus added. “I don’t ask her
if she likes my song. I would
normally just put on a beat
and sing what I have written
and just look at her reaction.
“In this case, I gave her my
phone and asked her to record
a video for me while I sang
‘Social Distance,’” she continued.
“And by the time I got to
the chorus, my daughter was
just jamming. That gave me a
boost of confidence.”
Primus said the song
“Social Distance” is “catchy;
it’s relatable and spoke volumes,
because everything in
the song was all true.”
She said when she finally
posted the song, the feedback
was “incredible and the love I
received was amazing.”
“When I posted the information
about the competition,
people voted,” Primus
said. “They sent it to their
friends and their co-workers,
and asked them to vote.

Trini Melly Rose’s ‘Body Good’
that Black women should
be loved, regardless of how
they look,” added Driven,
managing partner of PlaybookMG.
“Her message is clear and
akin to the legendary Tupac
verse, ‘the blacker the berry,
the sweeter the juice, the
darker the flesh, the deeper
the roots,’” she continued.
Throughout the video, Rose
pays homage to the Black
Lives Matter (BLM) movement,
“with BLM on her fingernails
and other powerful
symbolism, which is meant
to send a clear message to
viewers.”
“Being a Black woman and
a graduate from an HBCU,
Morgan State University, I will
always side with Black people,”
Rose said passionately. “I
want my fellow Black women,
and women of any body type
or complexion, to feel and
look good in their naturalborn
beauty.”
Hoping to make a difference
with her gift of making
mellow music, Rose expects
“Body Good” to make significant
progress in changing
the landscape on how society
views Black women.
Driven said the video will
be on YouTube, and the single
will be available on any musical
platform.
She said the official release
will be the end of this or next
week.
