Top of My List 1st Verse: I was told long ago If I love deep then I should stay, (should stay, should stay) should stay But what part of myself do I have to give away, (away, away) away Pre-Chorus: I gave you my self respect my soul I gave you everything I’ve ever known I gave it all, (gave it all, gave it all) And now that there’s nothing left to give I gotta find the strength to pick myself again, (myself again, myself again) myself again Chorus: Cus I wanna be the top of my list, top of my list, top of my list top of my list (It can’t be right if it feels wrong) 2x 2nd Verse: Too many of us seem to get stuck and we wind up lost, (up lost, up lost) up lost The greatest gift to give ourselves is finding what we’re worth, (we’re worth, we’re worth) we’re worth Pre-Chorus: Cus I’ve given myself respect my soul I gave you everything I’ve ever known (gave it all, gave it all) I gave it all But when I had no more to give, I had to find the strength to pick myself again, (myself again, myself again) myself again Chorus: Cus I wanna be the top of my list, top of my list, top of my list top of my list (It can’t be right if it feels wrong) 2x I wanna be, I wanna be top of my list, my list Bridge: You see I had no more to give, so I had to find the strength to pick myself again, myself again. Chorus: Cus I wanna be the top of my list, top of my list, top of my list top of my list (It can’t be right if it feels wrong) 2x I wanna be the top of my list

SOUL SUGAR FEATURING SCHNIECE – TOP OF MY LIST
Gee Recordings

In February 2024, Guillaume Metenier is set to release his fourth studio album as Soul Sugar, a collaborations-powered project that showcases the talented producer and organist’s authentic musical fusions of dub, reggae, soul-jazz, funk and neo-soul.

To get us in the mood, he’s dropping one of the album’s undoubted highlights, ‘Top of My List’, which will be available in Japan (and via selected stores worldwide) on 7-inch vinyl via a collaboration with HHV Record Shop, and digital download.

Edited down from the extended album version, ‘Top of My List’ is the first collaboration between Metenier and rising star Shniece McMenamin, a London-based soul singer best-known for her work with dub maestro Prince Fatty. On ‘Top of My List’, she delivers an impeccably emotive lead vocal, perfectly delivering her own thoughtful and insightful lyrics.

Combined with a languid, sun-kissed reggae backing track rich in Metenier’s superb instrumentation and fluid guitar licks courtesy of Samuel Isoard, Shniece’s vocals help make ‘Top of My List’ one of Soul Sugar’s most enchanting singles to date.

Those who purchase the vinyl version of the single – or the Soul Sugar Bandcamp edition for that matter – can also savour Metenier’s accompanying Dub mix, where he successfully channels the spirit of King Tubby and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Built around the sturdy rhythm track – Yvo Abadi on drums and percussion, Metenier on bass – the dub is a whirlwind of echoing vocal snippets, delay-heavy guitar and organ hooks and aquatic-sounding special effects. In other words, it’s a genuinely killer dub in the classic Jamaican style.
