I have to adopt an accent to some extent because of the idioms used (not so much in this song, but many songs have Caribbean phrases such as "me say" and so on).

This is problematical these days because it can be seen as offensive, and I don't want to offend anyone, already being a white English singer appropriating black music!

However, the calypsonians of the golden age sang in quite "westernised" accents anyway, to demonstrate their erudition, so I try to emulate them as much as possible. I probably sound pretty odd to a Trinidadian though.
