If you are living abroad and experiencing feelings of homesickness, this song will resonate deeply with you. "Take Me Home" is the latest music release from Freetown Collective. If the songwriting team of Muhammad Muwakil, Lou Lyons, Mevon Soodeen, and Kitwana Israel were in a reflective mood, then they surely wrote a masterpiece that would leave any child of the homeland longing to be home once again. This song will undoubtedly captivate you, immersing you in an intense emotional void of yearning to return home and experience the joy of life once more.
Advotkit Productions and XplicitMevon co-produced "Take Me Home," a song that honors the songwriting team's genius. This song reminds me of and rekindles memories of "Ole Time Days" by Richard "Nappy" Myers. This is another tribute song to and for the people of Trinidad and Tobago—a tribute to their enduring spirit that continuously brings us together, no matter where we are in the world.
Freetown Collective has a unique style of delivering excellent music. From the moment the vocals start, a sense of calm prevails. The thumping bass digs deep into one's chest, and the vibe of the music production ensures attention and celebration of our people's talent. This song is a must-listen and a treasure for any collector. If you have a list of songs to 'calm your lonely heart,' then "Take Me Home" will find a place on your list. This song truly demands attention, evokes childhood memories, and resonates deeply with anyone reminiscing about the 'good old days.' This is so well done!
I love it; Sokah2Soca applauds everyone involved in the song. Maybe there is a person out there longing for the nostalgic old days; this song may help rekindle some of the nostalgic feelings that were missing in your life. I am so proud to be a Trinidadian. I love this song. So, let the music play. Turn up the volume and let Freetown Collective take you home. I will reminisce while listening to the song "Take Me Home!"

Today we invite you to feel that sweet Caribbean breeze as you listen in from afar, home away from your Caribbean home.

So, what are we talking about?

There is also a segment for American music because we live, work, and play here in North America.
From the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean to our Latin music family and to the soulful sounds of R&B, our station celebrates the rich tapestry of cultural influences that shape our musical landscape. Tune in to experience a diverse array of tracks that not only entertain but also honor the histories and stories behind each genre.
But wait, there is more! Every Saturday, Nikki G, also known as "The Voice," hosts her Table Talk Show, a platform where she interviews individuals deeply immersed in Caribbean culture.

Listen to Nikki as she tells it all; press play below, and join us as we bring a little Caribbean sunshine into your life.

Radio stations and most DJs will likely overlook this song. We are posting it here today to ensure that this one reaches a wider audience. "10 Outta 10" by Lil Jelo x Supayouth has a raw feel and will be better suited to a younger generation of Soca fans. We don't anticipate that fans of groove Soca or the mature Soca music listener will be captivated by this song.
Most people like what they hear but won't add it to their playlist. That's the impression I get after listening to it and reading the online comments. I believe, like one commenter on YouTube, @trinbagonian2642, said, "I'll take it, buh not in mih favs!" Did you get that? Sometimes, a song's popularity or artist's notoriety, or in this case, lack thereof, could determine its likes and dislikes.
Soca music is known for its unique vibe, and this song possesses just that! What about the lyrics? We give the lyrics a "B" because they tell a familiar story. We must also emphasize that Lil Jelo and Suipayouth bring excitement and energy to this music release. Radio play in Trinidad is unpredictable; it seems unlikely that this song will receive airplay. We are not attempting to predict the future; this is simply the nature of the music industry in Trinidad and Tobago. If these artists and this song succeed in Trinidad and Tobago, we will gladly acknowledge the forces that make Soca thrive in this region.
At Sokah2Soca, we believe in talent and giving upcoming artists a fair chance. Our song is good, but you decide whether this music release succeeds or fails. So tell us what you think. Leave a comment, and if you want to help the artists, please share this post on social media.

Everyone all over the world takes time out to rest and relax. Not so in Trinidad and Tobago; instead, we choose to "lime"! We explain this Trini phenomenon for those who are unfamiliar with Trinidad. Liming is a Trini activity that emphasizes doing nothing, creating a feel-good environment, sharing food, drink, and picong, and elevating the term "hang out" to a new level! Today we present a newly released song from "KI and The Band" titled "Liming"! We know you will like the song, but we hope our writings about it and this cultural phenomenon put a smile on your face.
If you share the sentiment of "liming," you've come to the right place. Today, you can enhance the art of doing nothing in style with a song that adds a unique vibe to the session. The infectious rhythms will captivate the audience. Kris Persad and Rich "Shan" Persad's superb production of "KI The Band" brings the spirit of Carnival to life, leading us to assume that they drew inspiration for this music release.
The lyrical content of this song resonates with the idea that no one desires to return home to perform any tasks. The team of Kris Persad and Rich "Shan" Persad delivered with their writing skills; yes, the lyrics are on point. However, Nikholai Green of NMG Music deserves recognition for his excellent production work.
We love to have a wonderful time, and Liming is the key to achieving that goal in Trinidad and Tobago. The song delivers on the promise of having that wonderful time, letting go, and creating memories that could last a lifetime. Once the lime fades, it's time to fête—the real lime is about to begin.
At Sokah2Soca, we love the vibe, the rhythm, and the general feel of "Liming" by "Ki & The Band." Now, press play, turn up the volume, and let the music set the mood for your next liming session.
