C’est la date anniversaire du 18 septembre, que le chanteur-producteur guyanais Warren a choisi de sortir son single « H2O », reprise d’un succès de PSE de 2007.
Il s’agit du 5e single de Warren issu de son double album Back To Basics 1980, sorti en février et mai dernier.
Warren justifie la raison de cet hommage par les termes suivants :
“Patrick, je te rends cet hommage pour te prouver que mon amour pour toi restera éternel. Tu a été le premier des GRANDS à nous tendre la main Fanny J et moi, jeunes Guyanais débarquant de nulle part. Tu as scellé cette affection en nous invitant à ton dernier concert hommage, dans la commune du Moule en Guadeloupe. Tu as alors montré au monde entier que tu étais vivant. Aujourd’hui, voilà 12 ans que tu nous a quittés, regarde à quel point tu es… IMMORTEL“.
