Two sons born over a period of two years led to Terry Seales' two-year absence from the local music industry. The change in his personal situation, he explained, laid the foundation for his changed attitude towards his music.

"Soca has evolved and with that evolution, I saw where I needed to reinvent myself. I have been an artiste for over 20 years but my ultimate goal of becoming a globally-known artiste has not yet been accomplished. I saw this evolution of our music as an opportunity to show my versatility. I want people to see me not as Terry the soca artiste but as Terry the artiste," Seales said.

His first contribution to the 2012 soca season, "Please", was written and produced by 1st Klase. "It's a song about relationships and I think a lot of people will be able to identify with it.

"Going into Carnival, there is a frenetic pace and some people enjoy it — they want to be in all the fetes and play mas and lime for the season. But if they are in a relationship with someone who doesn't get into the vibe of Carnival or someone who doesn't want to go out and doesn't want them to go out, it could feel like they are being tied down when they want to be free, just for the season.

"After Ash Wednesday, the relationship could go back to normal," he explained. "It's funny in a sense, true in a sense and the video was done by Remy Yearwood and it stays true to the concept of the song."

Seales has more music for release as the season progresses. "I have songs written by Jason "Shaft" Bishop, Nadia Batson and an island pop dance track called "Wok" written by Umi Marcano and produced by MadMen Productions.

"My focus is global. I could do pop, dance, soca and the move to dance pop soca crossover music helps showcase my versatility. I think the marriage of soca and dance music is a wonderful thing. It makes our music more accessible to global listeners who may not have been able to understand or appreciate our music before. It makes our music club-friendly for foreigners and this direction should be embraced because it will help us get our music noticed easier at the international level," the artiste shared.
