She's Soooo Sweeeetttt! ? Anika Berry is back with another Carnival 2026 release, and this one’s a vibe you won’t want to miss. “Drift,” featured on the Heavy Hitterz Riddim, is an exciting Soca track for 2026 that evokes a gentle pull into her embrace—indeed, she sincerely desires you to drift away with her! Boat ride or not, you will want to drift away with Anika
The magic of ace Trinidadian songwriter (now based in Barbados) Jason "Shaft" Bishop wrote this one; it is typical of his brilliant songwriting skills. He crafted lyrics that float like waves while using oceanic metaphors to bring the message home—captain, life jacket, drifting—to evoke comfort, surrender, and emotional guidance. It's a gentle yet rhythmic call to surrender and allow love to carry you. Fans will feel this one deep.
Anika is clearly on the right path—delivering quality music with heart and finesse. And yes, we’re calling it: Sokah2Soca approved!

Ravi B’s “Vindictive” hits different. It’s not just another rum song—it’s the blueprint. The music isn’t driven solely by the drum kit; it’s rich, layered, and full of color. And the lyrics? These lyrics make total sense, adding clarity to the entire song concept. I have always been critical of songs that have anything to do with rum.... this one hits different.
Ravi Bissambhar (Ravi B Projects) and Rishi Mahato (Maha Productions) produced this song, which was engineered by Maha Productions, and I am pleased to report that it isn't just a typical Soca riddim driven by the drum kit. The music has 'color,' and it actually makes me sit back and listen. Well done, gentlemen.
“Vindictive” speaks to anyone who’s been betrayed but chose growth over revenge. "Vindictive" serves as a poignant reminder that peace and success serve as the most potent forms of retribution. Ravi B bares his soul with raw emotion and lyrical honesty; he delivers a powerful song, a possible anthem, for moving on—and moving up.

Youuuuuuuu, Youuuuuuuu—what are you doing, Yung Bredda?! This man is aging like fine wine in the Soca business, and “Weakness” proves it. On the Heavy Hitterz Riddim, Yung Bredda delivers a track that’s equal parts sweetness and slow-motion seduction.
Produced by Da Reel Deal Productions, penned by the lyrical architect Jason “Shaft” Bishop, and polished by Bajan royalty Anthony Lowhar at Commercial Music Inc., this one carries that unmistakable Red Boyz vibe—and we LOVE it
Lyrics like “push it back in slow motion” and “You look so complete… The phrase "no need to compete, like a private lesson in a class by yourself" clearly indicates that this is a tribute to the kind of woman who stops time and rewrites the rules
Soca 2026 is already looking sweet. Yung Bredda, you’ve got us weak. And we’re not mad at it.

She’s not just singing—she’s sizzling. Nadia Batson melts the screen in the newly released Video Visualizer for “Butter,” a standout track from the Honey Butter Riddim produced, mixed, and mastered by N.M.G Music. It’s Kompa with a Soca soul, and it will have you slipping into something sweet.
Nadia channels heat, desire, and that melt-in-your-mouth kind of passion that only a premiere artist can deliver. Like Patrice Roberts, she’s serving first-class music for Carnival 2026—proof that beauty, talent, and versatility are alive and thriving in our Caribbean queens.
? Honey Butter Riddim isn’t just a vibe—it’s a reminder that Carnival is more than pace. It’s rhythm. It’s emotion. It’s the buttery brilliance of artists who understand that sweetness and soul are just as powerful as speed and power.
Sokah2Soca celebrates this golden moment in Caribbean music. Nadia Batson can do it all—and she just did.
