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!
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend that you explore your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
