He channels that spirit into a track that’s equal parts celebration and introspection.

“Calypso (Alcohol)” pulses with the electric vibe of Lagos after dark, where neon lights, loud music, and endless drinks fuel nights of freedom and hustle.

The song thrums with upbeat percussion and hypnotic horns, inviting listeners to dance while weaving a narrative of excess and its aftermath. Koller’s lyrics paint a relatable contradiction: the thrill of letting loose collides with morning-after remorse, as he swears off alcohol—only to find himself back in the fray. Lines like “I will not have anything to do with alcohol again” repeat like a mantra, humorously underscoring the cycle of indulgence and regret familiar to many.
