Against the lush, green backdrop of Barbados’ National Botanical Gardens, the annual Tipsy All White Party came alive during the Jus Jay and Friends segment, and one homegrown talent stood out as a powerhouse of performance energy: beloved Bajan singer LaStacia. Taking the stage alongside a lineup composed entirely of fellow Barbadian artistes, LaStacia immediately connected with the packed crowd, turning the event into an interactive celebration that left attendees buzzing long after her final note.
From the opening chord, the artiste fed off the crowd’s infectious enthusiasm, with hundreds of fans singing along to every lyric and dancing in unison to her rhythmic tracks. She held the audience’s attention from start to finish, turning a standard festival set into a shared, memorable experience for everyone in attendance.
In a post-performance interview with Barbados TODAY, LaStacia opened up about the profound impact of the warm public reception, sharing that she never takes the love from her fans for granted. “It’s a feeling that I cannot explain. I will never, ever, ever get used to it,” she said. “It always surprises me and amazes me because I worked so hard to write these songs, and to see people appreciate them is a world-class feeling.”
As Barbados’ iconic Crop Over festival season continues, LaStacia says her schedule remains packed, and fans have much to look forward to in the coming months. Describing her upcoming slate of projects as “active, active,” she confirmed that new music is on the way, with a focus on high-quality dance tracks and authentic dancehall. “I got a lot coming, a lot coming,” she teased.
Beyond her dynamic vocal performance, LaStacia turned heads with her sleek, on-theme all-white ensemble, and she was quick to shout out the creative mind who helped bring her fashion vision to reality. Designer and stylist Abby of local brand Unique Exotic Bims collaborated with the singer on the look, and has handled all of LaStacia’s outfits throughout this year’s Crop Over season. “She’s responsible for every single look that I’ve done for Crop Over. She’s not only my stylist, she actually makes the clothes. She’s a very talented young lady,” LaStacia praised, noting that the final product was a collaborative result of their shared creative vision. (Photo Credit: Fernella Wedderburn)
