MR. PLATINUM CELEBRATES LOVE AND HIS SAINT LUCIAN MUSICAL LEGACY WITH BUTTERCUP 26
Featuring Shanead Sims and Brawvo X, the heartfelt reggae release honors his father Hubert “Breeze” Fevrier and gains early Caribbean and U.S. radio attention
HOUSTON, Texas, October 2026 — Mr. Platinum brings a deeply personal story to a universal celebration of love with “Buttercup 26,” his new reggae release featuring Shanead Sims and Brawvo X. Released as a single and album on September 26, 2026, the project carries the feel-good spirit of its central message, “It’s simple — Is Love alone,” while honoring the influence of his father, Saint Lucian cultural music icon Hubert “Breeze” Fevrier.
“Buttercup 26” is already making a splash on Caribbean and U.S. radio stations, with airplay from DJ Supa Neil on KTSU 90.9 FM The Vibe in Houston, and a premiere by Coco Filipina, a prominent media personality, radio DJ, and music tastemaker, on “The Culture” on Hot 97.9 FM in the Carolinas. That early exposure introduces listeners to a record whose romantic warmth also embraces love for family, heritage and the music itself.
LISTEN TO BUTTERCUP 26
“Buttercup 26 came from my own journey, but the feeling belongs to everybody,” says Mr. Platinum. “If you hear the song and it makes you think about something or someone you truly love, then it did what it was supposed to do.”
Behind the title is a tribute that reaches beyond the release year. Breeze’s birthday is June 26, making June 26, 2026, a meaningful 06-26-26 for father and son. As his father’s health declined, Mr. Platinum sought a lasting way to preserve his presence within the record. The number became a permanent connection to the man whose guidance helped shape his musical identity.
“When you see Buttercup 26, I want that number to always carry a piece of Hubert ‘Breeze’ Fevrier with it,” he explains. “Yes, the record arrived in 2026, but 26 is bigger than the year. It’s his day. It’s his footprint. It’s part of the legacy.”
Born Thomas Fevrier, Mr. Platinum grew up within a family deeply connected to Saint Lucian music and culture. His father founded and led Rebel Rockers, giving him an early foundation in music, storytelling and artistic standards. Breeze also encouraged his son to develop his own sound, a lesson Mr. Platinum carries into the reggae melodies and messages that speak most directly to him. The consciousness and identity in the music of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh further informed that connection during his formative years.
“My father taught me to find my own sound, find my own lane, and be the absolute best I can be while doing it,” says Mr. Platinum. “So for me, continuing his legacy means taking what was given to me, making it my own, and passing it forward.”
That continuity is also reflected in the “TI KWA” video, which brings Breeze’s music to new audiences and depicts a symbolic passing of the torch to Mr. Platinum. Its creation connects three generations: Breeze at the center, his son helping bring the visual to life, and his grandson Yondre of Louis Lane Creative contributing to its production. “Buttercup 26” carries that family connection into Mr. Platinum’s own musical chapter.
The new record retains some verses and elements of the original “Buttercup,” but its purpose evolved as Breeze’s health declined. Mr. Platinum describes a song that became warmer, more loving and more universal, with new voices and energy supporting its storytelling. That transformation led him to present “Buttercup 26” as a new single with its own identity.
“Buttercup 26” draws on family heritage and an artistic connection formed in Houston. Brawvo X, Mr. Platinum’s cousin and the son of former Saint Lucian Cultural Queen Phyllis Roma Wilson, shares his Saint Lucian roots while pursuing a distinct musical path. Shanead Sims, who joined creative forces with Mr. Platinum in Houston, lends her vocal artistry to “Buttercup 26,” helping transform his personal reflections into a shared expression of love.
For Mr. Platinum, the lasting appeal of “Buttercup 26” lies in its ability to connect his personal journey with the everyday experiences of its listeners—from the joy of falling in love to the sacrifices made for family and the memories that keep loved ones close. Its warm reggae melodies carry a message that reaches beyond romance, embracing the love of music, community and home that continues to shape his artistry.
“Love for the music. Love for the people. Love for where I come from. Love for the journey,” he says. “When you strip everything else away, that’s what remains. It’s Love alone.”
