Brothers Nkosi and Jabari Blackburne return from a musical hiatus with a heartfelt ode to the genre that continues to call them home.
New York, USA – No matter how far you wander, some loves never leave you. For brothers Nkosi “Kosi” Blackburne and Jabari “Jabz” Blackburne of LFS Music, that love is Soca.
After stepping away from music to focus on their personal lives, the USA-based Trinbagonian brothers are reconnecting with their artistry through “One Call Away,” a new release that personifies Soca as a woman whose allure, character and undeniable presence are impossible to forget.
Written by Nkosi and Jabari Blackburne and produced, mixed and mastered by AdvoKit Productions, “One Call Away” explores the magnetic pull of a love that remains within reach, even after time apart. Beneath its story of fascination with a captivating woman lies a deeper message: a relationship with music, particularly Soca, can endure even when life calls you in another direction.
In this case, the woman is Soca itself. Through their lyrics, the brothers express a desire to know her more intimately, exploring her background and reflecting on the thoughts she continues to occupy. The reassurance that she is “one call away” becomes a powerful metaphor for the relationship between artistes and their craft. For Nkosi and Jabari, the message resonates personally as they return to the genre that has been part of their shared creative journey. The song’s layered concept allows listeners to enjoy the narrative on its surface while recognizing the deeper sentiment behind it: the pull of Soca and the enduring relationship between the genre and the people who create it.
For the Blackburne brothers, stepping away from music did not mean stepping away from the passion that inspired them in the first place. Their hiatus allowed them to focus on their personal lives but their return with “One Call Away” speaks to the enduring connection they share with Soca.
LFS Music has built its catalogue through a series of releases that showcase the brothers’ songwriting and creative range. Among their notable works is “No Weapon,” released in 2017, which presented an uplifting message of faith and resilience. The group continued to expand its repertoire with songs including “Issa Blessing,” “Ándele,” “Doh Bother We” and “Mayhem,” followed by “Can You Hear Me” and “FriendZone.” Across these releases, LFS Music demonstrated a willingness to explore different themes while contributing to the vibrant soca landscape.
The name LFS represents Loyalty + Focus = Success, a philosophy that speaks to the values behind the group’s identity. For Nkosi and Jabari Blackburne, the road back to music begins with a song that acknowledges the attraction, familiarity and lasting connection that Soca inspires. “Soca has always been more than a sound, for us it is an expression of identity, culture and belonging and no matter how much time passes, that connection remains just one call away,” shares the duo.
“One Call Away” by LFS Music featuring Advokit is available now.
