When the music hits you... you feel it in your core! When it comes to sweet Soca music, "Show Off" checks all the boxes for us... the vibe, the lyrics and that something that just makes you want to groove to the music. Yes, this is what we like and we appreciate songs that don’t just play—they captivate! We love music that makes you feel the rhythm, embrace the energy, and surrender to the moment. This music release sure tickled my fancy—"Show Off by Miguel Maestre featuring TheFreshMen is exactly that kind of track.

 

There is magic in the production and in the team assembled to make this all happen: kudos to the producer, Rich "Shan" Persad for a job well done, well executed. The intoxicating groove of "Show Off", which effortlessly blends pulsating bass and melodic finesse, captivated us from the very first beat. Miguel Maestre’s signature vocal delivery is rich with confidence, while TheFreshMen amplify the sensuality, creating a sonic experience that is pure musical bliss. Shades of GBM Nutron echo from the vocals. We love it all.

 

The lyrics, written by Miguel Maestre, Rich “Shan” Persad and Jaydon Locke-Herbert, make this song shine. "Show Off" invites you to unleash your confidence, move with passion, and exude undeniable energy. It’s the type of track that urges you to step onto the floor, embrace the rhythm, and simply lose yourself in the moment. "Show Off" lyrically shows what is possible and showcases a deep understanding of what makes soca music not just enjoyable, but downright irresistible.

 

The entire production team deserves commendation for their work. "Show Off," recorded at Room2 Studio in Toronto and released under Maestre Music, exemplifies modern soca’s ability to evolve while remaining true to its roots. This style of soca—distinct from Power Soca—has the potential to capture an international audience. While Power Soca certainly has its place in the Carnival scene, it is songs like "Show Off" that will elevate Soca music to the global stage, reminiscent of tracks like "Turn Me On" by Kevin Lyttle.

 

This is the kind of soca we champion at Sokah2Soca—music that elevates spirits, energizes bodies, and creates an atmosphere of pure euphoria. Miguel Maestre and TheFreshMen have crafted a track that’s impossible to overlook, and we’re excited to enjoy every moment of it! So go ahead, press play, and allow "Show Off" to deliver on its promise!

The Top 10 list conveys a sense of finality and features songs that are widely recognized as hitmakers. While the selections on this list are popular, some are favorites from Carnival 2025, and the list may not accurately represent the true top 10 songs currently resonating on the ground. So, what songs are heating radio play in Trinidad and Tobago as charted by COTT (Copyright Organization of Trinidad and Tobago)? We have listed them below and included a YouTube playlist for your listening pleasure. This Top 10 list reflects the songs that program directors across various radio stations have deemed most played—not necessarily the biggest trending hits, but a snapshot of what’s dominating the airwaves.

 

As mentioned, this list doesn’t necessarily reflect the top movers or trending songs in the country; instead, it offers an overview of what is receiving consistent radio play. It remains uncertain whether the plays are driven by listener requests or if program directors are selecting tracks they believe will engage audiences. However, one thing is clear: if you’re vibing to the sweet melodies of KES, feeling the energy of Machel Montano, or getting lost in the rhythm of Bunji Garlin, there’s no doubt that Soca continues to reign supreme! We just wish there were a better method for charting the "Top 10 songs."
