M1’s “Glue” Is the Sweet Soca Vibe You’ll Still Be Playing After Carnival 2026
in
Blog
October 23, 2025
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.
It seems that M1 has drawn inspiration from the brilliant lyrical well of Soca music, and he is releasing enjoyable tracks that we love here at Sokah2Soca. Every day, we check for new music releases for carnival 2026. Some songs are successful, while many others are not. We do understand that not every Soca song is built for the road. Some are built to linger—on your playlist, in your memory, and in that quiet moment when the Carnival dust has settled and you’re craving a vibe that still feels like home. “Glue” by Sherwin “M1” Jeremiah is exactly that kind of song.
Produced by Lashley “Motto” Winter of TeamFoxx out of Saint Lucia and engineered by Yannick Plante of Minor Productions, “Glue” is a standout on the Julie Mango Riddim—a riddim that already leans into sweetness and subtlety. But M1 takes it further, delivering a track that’s less about bacchanal and more about basking in the afterglow.
From the jump, “Glue” sets a mellow tone. The production is clean, the mix is tight, and the vocals? The vocals possess a smoothness akin to that of a ripe Julie mango. There’s no need for hype here—this is a song that slides into your spirit and stays there. This is M1's second song released in 2026, and along with "Do Yuh Ting," it showcases M1's artistry, dropping musical gems for his fans… and we are loving it all.
Lyrically, M1 portrays a picture of the "perfect girl"—a self-assured woman who doesn't seek attention or money and commands attention simply by her presence. The metaphor of “crazy glue” becomes a clever device, symbolizing the kind of magnetic pull that defies logic. She’s not just attractive—she’s adhesive.
And while the lyrics flirt with boldness—“small waist, flat belly, big batty”—there’s a wink of humor and a nod to health and self-respect. It’s cheeky, yes, but never crass. That balance is what makes “Glue” stick.
The track isn’t a jump-and-wave anthem. It’s a post-Carnival companion. This is the kind of track that you'll rediscover in July and wonder why you ever stopped playing it. It’s a reminder that Soca doesn’t always have to shout to be heard. Occasionally, it just has to feel right.
And this song? It does.
And this one? It does.

Some songs hit you before you even know why. “How” by HashimThaDream is one of those tracks. "How" is produced by KVG and Trini-Baby, and it grabs you from the very first kick of the drum kit, delivering authentic Soca vibes.
HashimThaDream glides across the rhythm like a seasoned vet, delivering vocals that feel effortless yet emotionally charged. The lyrics? They sneak up on you. You’re vibing, then suddenly asking yourself, “How did I end up here?” The lyrics leave you captivated, confused, and perhaps even intoxicated. It’s a relatable spiral, wrapped in melody and groove. You heard the saying, "Don't drink and drive," but for this scenario it becomes, "Don't drink too much when Feting!"
Trini-Baby's production, engineering, and background vocals elevate the track's texture. KVG brings the heat, and Kyle Peters—yes, again!—lays down both lead guitar and bass. Does this man ever sleep?
Written by Bjorn Graham and Hashim Lewis, “How” is more than a question—it’s a mood. A Carnival keeper. A first-play catch. "One for the road."
I have the utmost respect for the entire team. If you’re curating your 2026 playlist, don’t sleep on this one.

This morning on Macobook (yes, Facebook), I came across a post by Kyle Phillips of Precision Productions promoting his latest work: "Dey For You," sung by Marq Pierre and produced by Badjohn Republic. The name of the song immediately caught my attention—not because of the music (which is excellent, by the way), but because of the title.
Let me explain.
"Dey For You" showcases Trinidadian artistry at its finest. The production is polished, the vocals are heartfelt, and the mix is top-tier. But the title—rooted in Trini lingo—raises questions about its global accessibility. “Dey,” meaning “there,” is a beautiful nod to our dialect and culture. Caribbean people are proud of our sound, our slang, and our vibe. As we say in the islands, "iz we ting."
Still, if Soca is going global, we need to think beyond our borders. Foreign audiences unfamiliar with our dialect might not grasp the emotional weight behind “Dey.” That’s my concern. The issue isn’t the music or the message—it’s the packaging. "Dey For You" carries the heart of Trini culture, no doubt. But if we’re serious about taking Soca to the next level, we have to consider how that culture is presented to the world. A song’s title is more than a label—it’s the first invitation to connect. And while “dey” speaks to us, it might not speak to everyone. Strategic naming could be the bridge between local pride and global reach.
Every year we hear the same call: make Soca go global. Yet the genre is still lumped under reggae or world music on most charts. If we want Grammy nominations and international recognition, we need to be intentional. A title like "There for You" or even "Dey (There) for You" could preserve the cultural essence while widening the song’s reach.
Some want to stay grounded while others want to move on to bigger things, so here is the question: Should Soca evolve for international audiences or remain unapologetically Caribbean? "Dey For You" is a celebration of identity—but it also invites reflection on how language shapes music’s journey across borders.
Like a familiar echo in the industry, I often hear, “Stay in your lane,” or, “What do you know about music?” I’ve heard it all before. But like most listeners, I feel the vibe and appreciate good music. If we truly want Soca to grow, we need to have these conversations. We need strategy. We need vision. "Dey For You"

While Carnival 2026 has us hyped with fresh Soca releases, let’s not forget the season we’re in—the one that brings joy, warmth, and a whole lot of red wine. Yes, it’s Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago, and that means Parang, Parang Soca, and Soca Parang!
Now before we dive into June Smith’s festive gem “Take A Toast,” let’s clear up a little musical mix-up. Most Trinis will say “iz de same ting,” but Kenny Phillips of KMP Music taught us otherwise. There’s a subtle but important difference:
- Parang Soca: Built on traditional Parang rhythms, layered with Soca’s bassline and tempo.
- Soca Parang: Starts with Soca’s rhythm section and Carnival energy, then adds Parang flavor.
Back to June Smith—her track “Take A Toast,” produced by Dr. Rad, is a sweet, modern celebration of Caribbean Christmas vibes. It’s clean, joyful, and unapologetically festive. The music is how we celebrate Christ in the Caribbean: with rhythm, laughter, and a toast to friendship.
Some lyrical love from June:
“I’m coming by you for Christmas. I’m coming to take a toast. Bring out the red wine. Bring out the white wine. Let us take a toast…”
And the line that seals it:
“Many are called and few are chosen—I am choosing you to take a toast.”
So let's toast to the season, to friendship, and to the music that makes it all sweeter. June Smith, you’ve given us a gift wrapped in rhythm and love.
