In 2024, after nearly 30 years of being joined at the musical hip, Shango Trex and StarFyah decided to officially become an act and record songs. They have accomplished that this year as Stashang.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u2018Cocoa\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, a sweet song with saucy undertones, is scheduled to be their third release on September 26. It follows \u2018Give my Heart\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and \u2018Where I Lay\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, which came out in March and May, respectively.<\/p>\n Shango Trex\u2019s vocals dominate \u2018Cocoa\u2019 which has a different flavor than their previous songs. Being fresh is important to them.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause all our records are a team-based production from creating to mastering, ideas on sound are constantly evolving and flowing. Each song intentionally gets its own identity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Shango Trex and StarFyah (born in the United Kingdom) were both raised in Kingston, Jamaica where their interest in music developed. The singjay and singer cut their teeth on the country\u2019s rural north coast tourist scene, before moving to Tokyo, Japan where they were part of a vibrant reggae colony.<\/p>\n While they approach each song with a different vibe, members of Stashang agree that blending diverse sounds is a good thing. They believe that was achieved with \u2018Cocoa\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cFor us, it\u2019s definitely a modern energy representing dancehall-reggae with some Afro-pop vibes,\u201d said Shango Trex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2024, after nearly 30 years of being joined at the musical hip, Shango Trex and StarFyah decided to officially become an act and record songs.
