Nadia Batson’s “Hammock” Swings Into Carnival 2026

By Published August 10, 2025

The content was first published on the blog Sokah2Soca (www.sokah2soca.com). We bring you only the best new music, while Island Vybe Radio rocks it live on the air!

 
If you have time, we can tell you that it's time to rock with the sensual Nadia Batson. Soca’s sensual siren is back—and she’s teasing, tempting, and tugging at your waistline with her latest groove: “Hammock.”
 

This early release sets the tone for Carnival 2026, with Nadia Batson masterfully weaving flirtation into every lyric, every note, and every sway. Madmen Productions & Don Iko produced this track, which Johann Seaton polishes to perfection. Not only is it well mixed, but Johann Seaton has intimately mastered it.

 

Vocals? The vocals are buttery and sensually appealing! When you listen to the song, keep in mindthe silky blend of Nadia and rising phenom Keone Osbourne—whose tone adds depth to the song with the background vocals. Nadia wants to rock us and we would like to go along for the ride. Nadia is amazing and in the song she swings effortlessly between sultry and sweet, inviting listeners to lean back and get lost in the vibes.

 

Visuals? It looks like a slice of the Caribbean! Kudos to One Eyed Perspective for a video that’s both striking and evocative—capturing Nadia’s effortless beauty while transporting us to a Caribbean dreamscape made of sunshine, rhythm, and slow wine.

 

As always, Nadie delivers a message wrapped in melody. “Hammock” is more than flirtation—it’s an invitation. To relax. To feel. To Carnival. Trinidad is known for producing the best Groove Soca in the Caribbean, and with the release of "Home" by Teja and "Hammock" by Nadie, it appears that our artists are poised to engulf the zone with a delightful blend of Groove Soca for Carnival 2026.

 

Nadie, we see you, Queen. We feel the tease. And we’re ready.
