What songs stayed with you this year? From groovy Soca beats to power-packed anthems, some tracks had us dancing at our desks and driving home a little too fast when the bouyon and dennery rhythms demanded it. Those vibes made me eager to hit the gym or head home!
Some DJs wondered if any good music was on the way, but as December hit—BAM!—a flood of tunes came through like a tsunami. Artists like Mical Teja, Voice the Artiste, and Bunji Garlin dropped fresh tracks for 2025, and the youth in the industry are taking Soca to new heights with bold creativity and vocals.
2024 delivered everything from playful hits like Trinidad Killa's "Terrance" to island flavors like Quan, Trilla G & Littleboy's "Hope You Find Someone Else," and dynamic collaborations like "Try Me" by Trilla G, Nailah Blackman, and others. Let’s not forget viral hits like Yung Brudda’s “The Greatest Bend Ova,” Kes's Cocotea, and lyrical gems like Mical Teja’s “Energy.”
We now have an abundance of music, re-fixes, and DJ mixes to choose from. Last week, I shared my personal favorites on Soka2Soca, so check that out if you missed it! Brace yourself for this curated mix of 2025 hits—a vibrant blend from across the Caribbean.

To Island Vybe Radio Fans:
I can’t believe it’s been a year! This station has become my second home, where I combine my love for music with my passion for podcasts like Table Talk. Meeting talented DJs who are so dedicated to their craft has been a privilege. Much love to the IV Board for continued success in 2025.

To my family and friends: Thank you for supporting my crazy ideas and letting me be Nikki G.
And to anyone reading this—thank you for indulging my little rant. Although I had a lot to say, it's best to keep it brief and concise. Here’s to a joyful and prosperous 2025!
Thank you to Sokah2Soca for giving me space to feature my work, voice, clients, and DJs. The work you do does not go unnoticed; you are a replica of the energizer bunny with a Caribbean twist. Thanks for putting all our ideas to pen, aka the World Wide Web, and making them come alive... Keep up the fantastic work! #alleyesonyou!
With love,
The Voice: Nikki G.
