Dive deeper into Caribbean music and culture at Sokah2Soca — your go-to source for Soca, Calypso, and Carnival coverage. First published on Sokah2Soca, now streaming live via Island Vybe Radio.
Every year, new artists emerge with music that may not immediately influence the Soca music scene, yet they deserve recognition nonetheless. Sokah2Soca is proud to spotlight rising artist Gennel Roe, whose newest single, “Mek Luv,” brings a mellow yet emotionally charged energy to the Soca scene. Produced by Playah Syndicate Records, the track leans into softness, sensuality, and groove—a contrast to the high-octane pulse many fans expect during Carnival season.
We are here to ensure that everyone gets noticed; although the vibe may be different and not fast-paced, that’s exactly why we’re paying attention.
"Mek Luv"—and let's not get it twisted for those just learning about Soca music, it simply our Caribbean lingo style for "Make Love." Yes, you got it, but some may be curious and ask about the meaning of the title. The message is as follows: it carries a romantic and energetic vibe, with lyrics that express an overwhelming feeling of love and connection—not just to a partner, but to the music and the moment itself. It’s a slow wine anthem for those who feel deeply and move deliberately.
She is new to Sokah2Soca, but her fans would beg to differ about her notoriety. Her previous singles—“Boss Attitude” (released August 1, 2025) and “Butterfly” (released Sept. 5, 2025)—showcase her commitment to empowerment and authenticity, especially for young women navigating Caribbean identity through music. We may be late to highlight her music, but the early social media buzz praises her for expanding the genre's emotional palette and bringing fresh energy to the scene. This is a good thing for the genre.
Although she is new to the Sokah2Soca scene, her fans hold strong opinions about her notoriety.

This is a good thing for the genre.
At Sokah2Soca, we believe in featuring emerging voices—even when they challenge the norm. Gennel Roe is one to watch, and “Mek Luv” is a soft but confident step into the spotlight.

This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
Before you say “I do,” Shadow says, “think it through.” In his unmistakable classic calypso-soca Shadow music style, in “Better or Worse,” Winston Bailey (aka Shadow) delivers a cheeky but sobering reminder about the realities of marriage. With his unmistakable musical style—equal parts bounce, wit, and wisdom—Shadow turns a wedding vow into a cultural caution sign.
This isn’t just a song. It’s advice wrapped in repetition, rhythm, and real talk—sound advice not to be ignored or taken for granted.
? Here is the deal, the advice that Shadow lays bare:
- If you choose to rush to the altar, “Hurry, hurry, hurry” to get married, “wedding, wedding, wedding” in full swing. The excitement is real—but so is the haste.
- The post-honeymoon chill: "Soon after the honeymoon, love often becomes cold." Shadow doesn’t sugarcoat the fade of passion.
- The vow’s true weight: “Tighten up your belt,” “stick together,” “in sickness or in health, for richer or for poorer.” He echoes the solemnity of the vow with a calypsonian’s flair.
- The divorce epidemic: “Every minute is a divorce.” The repetition of “divorce divorce divorce” hits like a chorus of heartbreak.
Shadow gave us songs about poverty, betrayal, and horn—but this one? It’s a legacy of lyrical wisdom. A warning wrapped in rhythm, humor, and truth.
This message will endure for generations. Because when the music fades and the honeymoon ends, the vow remains: for better or worse.
The man may have left us, but his music lives on—in our hearts, in our speakers, and across the diaspora. His voice still guides us, still makes us laugh, and still makes us think.

For this week’s Friday Pop Up, Sokah2Soca heads to the Northern Caribbean, where Bouyon is King. We celebrate the start of the weekend with a remix that demands attention. In this version, Trilla-G is definitely not getting any 'Yum, Yum, Yum,' and like Farmer Nappy, he ends up outside the house with his clothes in a garbage bag. Looks like this is the life of a Soca/Bouyon artist!
The remix version of “Take Me As I Am,” created by V’ghn and Trilla-G, focuses on self-acceptance and is infused with the high-energy pulse of Dominican Bouyon. The hook is not just simple; it becomes an anthem—“take me as I am, don’t try to fix me”—but the message is fierce: not all change is good, and love shouldn’t require compromise.
As mentioned above, at its core, “Take Me As I Am” is a declaration of radical self-acceptance. The artists leave no doubts about their feelings as they joyfully sing,
“Take me as I am; don’t try to fix me.”
This isn’t just a catchy hook; many guys praise the lines and sigh, saying it’s about time someone expressed this in a song—it represents a refusal to compromise one’s identity, even for love. The lyrics will become the 'man-anthem' for carnival 2026 as they push back against the pressure to change for others, reminding listeners that authenticity is non-negotiable.
V'ghn, far from being an autotuned singer, possesses a unique vocal style. His soulful delivery meets Trilla-G’s unapologetic bounce, creating a cross-island fusion that’s both catchy and culturally charged. This song is a reminder that Caribbean music isn’t just about rhythm—it’s about resistance, identity, and pride. This remix doesn’t ask for approval. It dares you to accept it, regardless of their faults.
Now that you came this far, we cordially invite your public commentary—don't hold back, OK? Who do we change for, and why?
The YouTube player included for this post features the remix version and the original version done solo by Trilla-G. Enjoy!
