From St. Vincent and the Grenadines to Grenada and Beyond, “Curry” Connects
For a song named after one of the Caribbean’s most beloved staples, Curry doesn’t just simmer—it sears. Angie Maya’s first release of 2025 has become the unexpected breakout from the Pork Sauce Riddim, a tightly curated 11-song project produced by Enrique “Strike Mode” Baptiste and Rajiv “Suhrawh” Sutherland, released on March 28.
While riddim compilations often blur into a collective listen, Curry stood out immediately. Angie Maya, a rising voice from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, delivered a track that moved fast—and moved people.
Just six days after release, on April 3, Curry debuted at #129 on the Apple Music (World) chart in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. By May 4, it had climbed to #1, where it remained through May 5 before briefly dipping. Then, on May 10, the track returned to the top—holding the #1 position for an uninterrupted 11-day stretch through May 21. Even after slipping slightly, it stayed within the Top 3 until June 1. Now, in the lead-up to Vincy Mas, Curry continues to hold strong inside the Top 10 on the Apple Music Top 100 in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, weathering a flood of seasonal releases.
That success carried over to the stage. On May 30, Angie Maya was crowned Soca Monarch at the St. George’s Carnival in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines—her first major title of the season. Just over a week later, she claimed her second crown at the North Leeward Soca Monarch competition. Between chart placements and live performances, Curry has become the defining track of her 2025 campaign.
Regionally, the song also made a significant impact. In Grenada, it topped the Apple Music (World) chart and peaked at #3 on the country’s overall Apple Music Top 100. As of late June, it remains inside the Top 50—holding firm amid a wave of competitive new releases ahead of Spicemas.
Beyond those two markets, Curry has appeared on Apple Music World charts in twelve Caribbean territories. It has also generated radio airplay in the U.S., U.K., Switzerland, and Jamaica—indicating a growing international appetite. The track’s appeal isn’t limited by geography; its blend of humor, rhythm, and cultural specificity resonates across borders.
Streaming numbers reflect that reach. To date, Curry has amassed over 25,000 streams—more than 10,000 ahead of the next best-performing track on the Port Sauce Riddim. For an emerging artist in a crowded release environment, that margin is a marker of real momentum.
While the phrase “hurry, hurry come for curry” is a familiar refrain in Caribbean kitchens, Angie Maya’s Curry has given it a new kind of relevance. With the hook “the kind of curry make the man go crazy,” the song taps into both tradition and innuendo—spicing up the riddim with something unmistakably hers. It isn’t just a viral moment—it’s proof that in a crowded riddim format, distinctive voices and sharper ideas still cut through.
