Watch Nailah Blackman Dance Through a Beat-Fueled Performance of "Pressure" | Global Spin
Taking her own innovative style to traditional soca music, Nailah Blackman performs her latest single, “Pressure.” Blending contemporary elements with the classic soca style — a genre founded by her grandfather Lord Shorty — the song showcases intricate synths and a vibrant beat that reflect Blackman’s experimentation with mainstream music and the boundaries of traditional Trinidadian music.
Earlier this year in her home country of Trinidad and Tobago, Blackman performed at Sokahchella, the fourth installment of her annual event, Sokah Origins. Stay tuned to her social media to find out where she’ll be performing next. For more episodes of Global Spin, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
