You should never tamper with a classic song, especially if you are one of the artists responsible for its success. As one DJ questioned, “Why is Machel tampering with this classic?”
Fair point. After all, "Tempa Wine," which was originally a duet with Patrice Roberts, remains a party favorite to this day. But welcome to a new era: Machel has decided to "touch up" the track, and honestly, it makes sense and sounds excellent.
With Carnival 2026 on the horizon, this rerelease feels perfectly timed. This updated version by Machel Montano and Tempa delivers a modern, youth-driven twist that everyone will appreciate. Tempa’s fresh energy blends seamlessly with Machel’s iconic lines, creating a vibe that feels both nostalgic and brand new. The original version's sample shines like a newly polished classic car, and we love it.
We won’t elaborate further, but we’re confident that this version is effective. The question is—what do you think? We want to hear your thoughts on this song, so please share your feedback.

Olatunji Returns With " Capital," Another Banger: Soca Energy Meets Kaiso Flair

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.
Guest Post by Nikki G—The Voice of Table Talk Show.
Nikki G’s in the house! The Voice of Table Talk Show joins Sokah2Soca with guest posts full of insight, rhythm, and real Caribbean vibes. Let’s hear what she has to say…
Olatunji is back with “Capital,” and as expected, he delivers pure energy, vibes, and consistency with that signature kaiso-infused flair we all love. Teaming up with Mr. DSJ—the prolific songwriter Darryl Gervais of Gervais Music—and super producer DJ Future of Synthdicate Music, this track is built by a powerhouse creative team.
“Capital” pays homage to Soca while cleverly tipping its hat to other genres, blending influences without losing its core Caribbean pulse. You know the saying: “Play more Soca!” This track embodies that spirit, giving you that undeniable party feeling and making you want to shake it up from the very first beat.
New releases are also bubbling from the label, including She Tempo and “TLY (Trinidad, I Love ”You)”—known for tracks like Wining Good, OLTL (One Life to Live), Engine Room, and Inventor. His résumé continues to expand, from performing on the hit show X Factor to becoming a finalist in the Chutney Soca Monarch competition.
As for Ola—he remains a true veteran in the game. He always brings his A-game, blending charisma, dance, and unmatched stage presence. His voice carries a tone that keeps listeners locked in, refreshing the music for the youth while staying palatable and nostalgic for the grown folks.
“Capital” is another reminder of why Olatunji stays in his lane: innovative, energetic, and forever pushing Soca forward.

Actimo, what is that? Well, it is the name of the latest song released for Carnival 2026 by Ding Dong and Yung Bredda. "Actimo" is slang for being fully active or, as said by the youth, "steaming up the party." The song was written by Nesta Boxill and Akhenaton Lewis (Yung Bredda). It is the production of Dr. Soca and System32 and comes packed with Soca energy.
“Actimo” is a high-energy soca track released in November 2025 by Yung Bredda and Ding Dong, produced by Dr. Soca and System32. The song is part of the Actimo Riddim and blends infectious horn arrangements, driving percussion, and playful call-and-response lyrics. The live horns are arranged by Justin Phillip and Christopher Sam, while the guitars are arranged by Daniel “Milo Strings” Roberts.
If you are ready to have fun and burn many calories, then Actimo is your song. The hook repeats, “Actimo! On the road, we actimo!” encouraging listeners to raise their hands and get active. It’s a carnival-ready anthem, mixing soca’s celebratory vibe with Soca boldness. This is a carnival song and will have the life span of a carnival song. We don't expect this song to have staying power after carnival. However, for carnival, the tune is a high-energy, road-ready song. Please don't forget to leave your comments.

The hitmakers are back and doing their thing. This release is new music from Full Blown Entertainment. They are exclusively writing and producing this song for themselves, as it represents their own artistic vision. Today, we present "Respectfully Yours," written, produced, and performed by Full Blown for Full Blown Entertainment. We think you will like this song. It feels different but still carries that carnival feting vibe and irresistible rhythm that we look forward to hearing for carnival season.
If you watched the music video and noticed the lovable lunatic named Crazy, don't be confused. This song is a genius reimagining of "Cold Sweat," created in collaboration with MotionStudio. The music has a familiar feel, not just because of the Cold Sweat connection, but also because something about it reminds me of Paul Simon's music, which is truly captivating. Having said that, we need to give credit to the classic “Cold Sweat” by Christopher Morris and Edwin “Crazy” Ayoung; “Respectfully Yours” blends nostalgia with a fresh, modern pulse. The song embodies a passionate blend of love, desire, and celebration, inspiring you to dance, flirt, and embrace the present moment.
If they convinced you as they did the young ladies in the video, then this song will indeed turn out to be, not just the 'greatest party ever,' but a hit song for carnival 2026 that they will always remember. This is not your typical Soca music rhythm; it feels different but familiar. If you get caught off guard, like I did, you will quickly realize that this song will suck you in. We absolutely approve of this song.
Finally, you will find out very soon that “Respectfully Yours” isn’t just about the dance floor; it’s about connection, passion, and the spirit of the Caribbean—all wrapped up in an infectious groove that feels both familiar and new. I am confident that many young people are at work churning their creative juices to bring out a special dance to accompany this song. This music is unique and exciting, and we can't wait to see how the greatest party unfolds for Carnival 2026... Respectfully Yours, carnival revelers.
