With the absence of anything Carnival, it feels like a lifetime since we’ve had such sweet melodies coming from the Stratosphere camp, accompanied by the effortless flow and humor from Ambi.

Although fans were still banging tracks such as “Madam La”, “Roll” and “Ramen” to name a few, his new single “Stress” takes us on a road never yet travelled with Ambi and by the second minute of his 2022 contribution, Ambi will have listeners jamming and laughing while experiencing a slight case of nostalgia.

He has made a good habit of finding crowd pleasers and Soca anthems over the years. Clearly, the two-year break as a result of COVID-19 didn’t lockdown his creative juices.

“Stress” can cause you to do a lot of stupid things and someone needs to check on our friend Ambi and while you’re doing that you can also listen to all major radio stations to listen to the hit single and view the accompanying music video on YouTube.
