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.
Every year, new artists emerge with music that may not immediately influence the Soca music scene, yet they deserve recognition nonetheless. Sokah2Soca is proud to spotlight rising artist Gennel Roe, whose newest single, “Mek Luv,” brings a mellow yet emotionally charged energy to the Soca scene. Produced by Playah Syndicate Records, the track leans into softness, sensuality, and groove—a contrast to the high-octane pulse many fans expect during Carnival season.
We are here to ensure that everyone gets noticed; although the vibe may be different and not fast-paced, that’s exactly why we’re paying attention.
"Mek Luv"—and let's not get it twisted for those just learning about Soca music, it simply our Caribbean lingo style for "Make Love." Yes, you got it, but some may be curious and ask about the meaning of the title. The message is as follows: it carries a romantic and energetic vibe, with lyrics that express an overwhelming feeling of love and connection—not just to a partner, but to the music and the moment itself. It’s a slow wine anthem for those who feel deeply and move deliberately.
She is new to Sokah2Soca, but her fans would beg to differ about her notoriety. Her previous singles—“Boss Attitude” (released August 1, 2025) and “Butterfly” (released Sept. 5, 2025)—showcase her commitment to empowerment and authenticity, especially for young women navigating Caribbean identity through music. We may be late to highlight her music, but the early social media buzz praises her for expanding the genre's emotional palette and bringing fresh energy to the scene. This is a good thing for the genre.
