Janita Burke Set To Unveil New Single ‘Hat Trick’

Janita Burke is set to unveil her newest single which honors the historic accomplishments of the Somerset Cricket Club.

A spokesperson said, “Janita Burke, the Kairos XXII Productions songwriter known for her fusion of music and history, is set to unveil her newest single, ‘Hat Trick [Somerset Are de Dons]’, which honors the historic accomplishments of the Somerset Cricket Club. Rooted in her fervent support for the team and her island’s history, the song encapsulates the essence of community, triumph, and the profound significance of the Cup Match Cricket Classic.

“Originally composed with the anticipation of a third consecutive win for Somerset Cricket Club in 2023, the song’s theme resonates deeply even as the team secured a draw this year. ‘Hat Trick’ is not just a celebration of victories, but also a tribute to the remarkable legacy of Somerset’s accomplishments in the history of the Cup Match.

“Burke, a former lawyer and self-proclaimed historian, channels her passion for storytelling, community and unity into her music. In ‘Hat Trick,’ she masterfully weaves together the shared joy of sports victories with the historical importance of the Cup Match Cricket Classic. The song’s title itself draws from cricket terminology, and the lyrics expres the celebratory atmosphere that winning generates along with a little cheek!

“As an ardent supporter of the Somerset Cricket Club, Burke’s dedication to and excitement for her team is evident in every note of ‘Hat Trick.’ The song reflects her enthusiasm for the sport, her appreciation of historical context, and her island roots with the feel good Afro beat.”

When asked if the song release was appropriate given Somerset’s missed third victory, Burke revealed, “While that [hat-trick win] wasn’t achieved, Somerset has scored 5 hat-tricks in the history of Cup Match and those should be celebrated.” Burke’s optimism, even in the face of this year’s draw, shines through as she honors the team’s history and its outstanding players.

The spokesperson said, “The song’s soft release coincided with the annual celebration of Emancipation Day and Mary Prince Day, events that commemorate the abolition of slavery in Bermuda and honor the legacy of Mary Prince, a pivotal figure in the movement. Burke reminds listeners that the holiday holds deeper meaning beyond the cricket match, encouraging a broader appreciation of its historical significance.

“Janita Burke, in collaboration with Abimbola Bademosi under their venture Kairos XXII Productions, has created a melody that celebrates both the joy of victory and the unity found in community. ‘Hat Trick’ is the third release in a lineup of Cup Match songs that the duo believes should be enjoyed and shared year-round. It follows the release of ‘Somerset the Great’ in 2022 and ‘Just Believe’ in 2021, ironically creating a musical Cup Match hat trick for Burke and Kairos XXII Productions.

“‘Hat Trick’ will be available for streaming and download on all major music platforms on September 7th. Stay tuned to Kairos XXII Productions’ social channels for additional information and announcements regarding the official release. Until then, fans can enjoy the lyric video here.”
