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.
Soca music fans' music cup is overflowing with sweet music from our very talented artists. As the years add on and we move forward, the music excellence just keeps getting better. Today we feature a track from Saint Lucia's 2026 carnival. “I Am Soca” isn’t just a track—it’s a declaration. This song oozes with Caribbean swagger and, if marketed properly, could impact carnivals across the Caribbean basin.
The song was written by the singer, Imran "Nerdy" Magloire and Mica and celebrates Saint Lucian culture. The genre-savvy crew at Rapid Entertainment produced a sound that is polished, potent, and primed for global impact, with Minor Productionz handling the mixing, mastering, and additional production.
And the vocal layering? Pure family fire. Harmony “Mamo” Magloire, Kimari “Marik” Magloire, and Zanye “Mighty Z” Lawrencin lend their voices to amplify the anthem’s soul—proof that when Lucians link up, the vibes are unstoppable.
Whether you’re chippin’ down the boulevard or turning up your commute, the track is 2025 Soca in full throttle. It’s bold, it’s proud, and it’s infectious.
Therefore, we reiterate our question: I Am Soca—are you with us? Let's now tackle the pressing issue at hand. To honor Imran Nerdy x Mica's contribution, I saved this for last. In 2012, Patrice Roberts and Kerwin Du Bois gave us "I Am Soca," a song that is a model for telling us what Soca is all about. The YouTube music player below features both songs. So, tell us what you think. Do you love both songs or have a preference? Share your thoughts with us.
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections. While you should always buy music for sale, you should avoid sharing promotional music because it denies songwriters, producers, and artists important revenue. Please be aware that all of our posts are available online via social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend exploring your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.

Friday Pop-Up Spotlight: Patrice Roberts' 'Not Today' Sets the Tone for Carnival 2026
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
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.
Well, what do we have here? For this 'Friday Pop Up Post,' we are going back to June to feature a Patrice Roberts song titled "Not Today." Why? Well, this song has 'possibility' written all over it! The songwriters of the song crafted lyrics that could easily become lost in translation as they reach the ears of Caribbean people. This song serves as a mood motivator by stringing together the following themes:The lyrics convey a sense of being fed up, fierce, and unbothered with pettiness and are tailored for Carnival 2026!
Real talk, soca Family... something smells in here. And no, it’s not West Indian KFC. It’s that stinking behavior that Patrice Roberts is calling out in her latest anthem, “Not Today.” This track is not merely a breakup anthem; it serves as a definitive statement of zero tolerance for foolishness, and we fully support it.
But let’s address the elephant in upcoming carnival fetes:That chorus? What does the word "funk" mean? Yeah... we know how the song is going down. Caribbean people possess a unique ability to improvise lyrics, and it's undeniable that "funk" is poised for a dramatic and very spicy as well as controversial transformation. Because when Patrice sings, “Get that funk away from me,” we are already hearing, “Get to fuck away from me!” ?
What's more, it works! Cussing is considered an art form in the Caribbean. Wait, wait, wait, no... Trinis like to cuss too damn much. But when you think about it, it just sweetens the conversation! It’s not just about being rude—it’s rhythm, it’s release, it’s realness. We cuss in style and with style to emphasize our points, express our feelings, and make them resonate more strongly—think of it as adding Morouga Scorpion pepper for extra flavor! But... we just like to cuss, right!? Now that Patrice has released this track, don't be surprised if it transitions into an unofficial anthem for every disgruntled queen or king seeking to express their frustrations and restore their tranquility—adding a touch of lyrical spice.
Play it loud. Sing it proud. Substitute as needed. "Not Today" is more than just a song; it encompasses an entire atmosphere. And if you feel like cussing? Well... we're not judging. We vibing.

Fallon’s “Fete Till Morning” – Until the Universe Said ‘Pump Yuh Brakes'!
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
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.
Fallon’s “Fete Till Morning,” part of the Guadeloupe Riddim released for Trinidad Carnival 2026, feels good, with smooth vocals. While soca often thrives on high-energy delivery, Fallon takes a smoother route—her vocals glide effortlessly, offering a calm, confident presence that feels tailor-made for late-night liming and slow wines.
Produced by DDI Productions, mixed and mastered by Shot Master J, and executive produced by Neil Mattei, the track benefits from clean, professional sound design. The rhythm itself is rich and inviting, and Fallon’s voice nestles into it with ease.
But for all its strengths, the song’s ending is a letdown. It doesn’t fade, resolve, or climax—it simply drops. One would hope that the format sent to DJs and radio stations has a better ending! That abrupt finish undermines the vibe Fallon builds so well and feels like a missed opportunity from an otherwise seasoned production team.
Still, “Fete Till Morning” deserves a spot in your Carnival rotation. It’s a reminder that Soca can be smooth and soulful—and that even in the heart of the bacchanal, there’s room for quiet charisma.

M1 aka Menace x AdvoKit Ignite Carnival 2026 with Bold Soca Hit “Do Yuh Ting”
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
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.
Who does that? Well, if you didn't know, you know now... it's Menace time! M1, aka Menace, Drops Carnival Anthem of Freedom with 'Do Yuh Ting'—A 'Bold Soca Story of Love, Liberty, and Letting Go! Can you feel the vibe? Trinidad and Tobago are gearing up for Carnival 2026, and the musical landscape is already heating up. Conversations will naturally take place when new music is released and today we feature "Do Yuh Ting"; it is more than just a song—it's a statement!
This song embodies the essence of freedom, passion, and genuine communication! Written by Sherwin Jeremiah (M1), “Do Yuh Ting” dives deep into the emotional push-and-pull of modern relationships. It’s about independence, autonomy, and the double standards that often creep in when one partner wants freedom—but still wants control. M1 expresses his thoughts clearly: "You pursue your own path, and allow me to pursue mine." It’s a lyrical clapback wrapped in groove, reminding listeners that love shouldn’t come with shackles or surveillance.
Additionally, there is the beautiful sound of Soca music, characterized by soulful strings and a brilliant bassline. The vibe of the production is elevated by the beautiful guitar and bass work of Kyle Peters, whose artistry adds warmth and depth to the message. Numerous songs for Carnival 2026 will feature Kyle. His contribution is subtle yet powerful—his strings sing with emotion, giving the track a rich, organic feel that complements M1’s vocal delivery perfectly and AdvoKit's grand music design.
We must talk a little about the music production. Advokit's production made the M1 grand design a reality. AdvoKit's production, as always, is crisp, layered, and Carnival-ready. The rhythm is infectious, the arrangement is tight, and the overall vibe is one of liberation and groove. It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to whine with your hands in the air—no apologies, no explanations.
Then there is the message; it means a lot when it deals with "relationship reality." “Do Yuh Ting” isn’t just a party anthem—it’s a mirror. M1 explores the contradictions in relationships where one partner wants to roam free but still expects loyalty and control. His message is clear: If you want freedom, give freedom. It’s a bold, honest take that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt boxed in by love.
This tune will be fun for Carnival 2026. The artist consistently crafts lyrics that weave a narrative, particularly concerning relationships; it comes to life as "A Story in Song." With this release, M1 and AdvoKit aren’t just dropping a track—they’re setting the tone for Carnival 2026. “Do Yuh Ting” is poised to become a soundtrack for revelers who want to celebrate love, life, and liberty on their terms. It’s storytelling through Soca, and it’s exactly the kind of cultural commentary Sokah2Soca lives for.
Now let's wrap this up and leave you to enjoy the music. M1, aka Menace, continues to prove why he’s one of Trinidad’s most compelling voices. With AdvoKit’s production magic and Kyle Peters’ musical finesse, “Do Yuh Ting” is a masterclass in message-driven Soca. It’s catchy, it’s conscious, and it’s Carnival gold. So when you hear it on the road, remember: Yuh ting is yours to do—just don’t try to hold anybody back.
