Kalpee 'Gimme De Ting' featuring Stefflon Don

28th August 2020 -- Kalpee teams up with platinum recording artist Stefflon Don on the sun-soaked offering of his latest track 'Gimme De Ting'. The Trinbagonian musician also unveils the euphoric, feel-good official video – both available now on FVP Records via Absolute Label Services. Kalpee also reveals forthcoming EP Feel Good Playlist Vol.1, out imminently.

Originally co-written and produced by Kalpee and The Anmls (The Weeknd, Future, BANKS, Belly, D.R.A.M, French Montana, Meek Mill) as 'One More Night (Gimme De Ting)' – global superstar Stefflon Don adds her unique touch to the track that exudes a Caribbean summer. Rising artist, Kalpee's distinctive soulful vocal and Don's sultry verse complement each other which are layered over the irresistibly up-beat production that fuses reggae and calypso into a contemporary R&B, pop sound. Additionally, Kalpee also shares the brilliant official video for 'Gimme De Ting'. Filmed at a grand house in the outskirts of London, the visual follows Kalpee as he rekindles a relationship hoping to be given one more chance with the person he loves.

On the track, Kalpee says: "I wanted this song to be all about good vibes, whether you dance to it or chill to it, I just hope it makes people smile and feel good." He adds: "When I heard Stefflon Don wanted to jump on 'Gimme De Ting', I was feeling my blessings. We linked up at her studio and she already had an idea down, which I knew would be dope and of course it was. Rest of the session we just chilled and spoke about music, life, home. I left that session believing in myself and my craft a little more, something that I'm extremely grateful for."

Stefflon Don adds: "I heard the track through a mutual friend, loved it and wanted to be part of it, so I had Kalpee come to my studio in London and we just vibed it out. Big Tune."

Kalpee's glorious 5 track body of work Feel Good Playlist Vol.1 EP is inspired by his Caribbean roots. Through his music, Kalpee intends to do nothing but make people feel good about themselves and their surroundings, especially by injecting a little bit of that Trinbagonian vibe which is an essential part of who he is. The refreshing EP will include Gimme De Ting featuring Stefflon Don plus four new tracks which comprises of the enthralling 'Put A Record On' – that pays homage to Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' - uplifting 'Climb' Ft fellow Trinbagonians Freetown Collective, laidback 'Water Flowing' and the mesmerising 'Runaway'with an elite line up of Grammy Award producers and writers including Carla Marie Williams (Beyonce, Britney Spears, Rudimental, Sean Paul) Yei Gonzales (Dip Lo, Cardi B, Dj Khaled) and Santiago Rodriguez (Little Mix,Pit Bull, Akon).

An all-encompassing artist with a boundless creative vision, Kalpee is a sure-fire talent unfolding who's eagerly excited to share his new material through his upcoming EP, with more to be announced soon.
