Keoné is back—and she’s bringing the sweetness. I remember her voice. I remember Ms. Carnival, that unforgettable duet with Voice in 2022 that turned heads and stirred hearts. She is back and sounding sexy with her silky voice and new Carnival 2026 offering titled Sweet Like Soca.
Produced and mixed by Don Iko, with additional production from Keoné herself and final mastering by NMG Music, this track is a full-bodied blend of smooth vocals and undeniable groove. It’s Soca with finesse—crafted, layered, and emotionally charged.
Sweet Like Soca is a tribute to ladies who got it—it isn't just a title. The lyrics celebrate a woman’s beauty, her confidence, and the way she moves—provocative, poised, and “put together.” She’s described as a “delicacy,” a “wifey type,” and yes, “sweet like soca.” It’s admiration wrapped in rhythm, a melodic ode to feminine power and Carnival allure.
The vibe is classic Soca, the style I love to listen to: groovy, percussive, and built to move waistlines. Syncopated grooves drive the energy forward, matching the lyrical praise with a rhythm that demands attention. It’s the kind of track that makes you look twice—and whine once.
Keoné’s vocals glide over Don Iko’s lush production with effortless charm, seducing the listener not with romance, but with reverence. This isn’t about a guy—it’s about her. She is the woman who commands the dance floor, looks outstanding in her carnival costume, commands the gaze, and embodies the sweetness of Soca itself.
