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.
As we close the curtain on another year of Carnival across the diaspora—from Miami’s high-energy fêtes to Tobago’s sweet farewell—the rhythm resets. The 2025 circuit bows out with a bang, and just like that, Trinidad Carnival 2026 steps into the spotlight. And yes, it’s perfectly fine to say it out loud: New Soca is bubbling over in sweet T&T, and the real action? It’s already heating-up on YouTube. Sokah2Soca has eyes on it all.
We’ve been posting new releases as they drop, but this moment deserves its own celebration. The Soca gods are whispering sweet rhythms into the ears of producers, artists, and die-hard masqueraders—and the first wave is pure fire.
- Farmer Nappy channels his “Hookin Meh” nostalgia with the tender “Cooking.”
- Patrice Roberts claps back with the bold and bouncy “Rock So.”
- Mical Teja & Tano’s “Weekend (TGFW)” still holds strong as a favorite—setting the mood for sunrise fêtes and sleepless nights.
- Cocoa Scorpion’s song "Ramajay Dingolay" and Imani’s song "In Front of Meh" are examples of pure bacchanal in audio form. Pure bacchanal in audio form.
And the new wave keeps coming:
- Kristina James—Take Me Away (Visualizer) | Trinidad Soca—A dreamy escape wrapped in Soca sweetness.
- Jadel Legere—Another Man (Official Audio) | Trinidad Soca—High-energy and unapologetically bold.
- Ding Dong—Wanna Party (D'Guitarmn Riddim) | Trinidad Soca—Carnival-ready and riddim-rich.
- Sekon Sta—Mother Good Daughter (Late Night RIddim ... – Late-night vibes with lyrical depth.
- Amrika Mutroo—Here Again (Official Audio) | Trinidad Soca 2026 – A Carnival Tuesday reflection with an emotional punch.
- Juby - Elevator (Visualizer) | Trinidad Soca 2026 – Groovy elevation for the season ahead.
- Fallon - Fete Till Morning (Official Audio) | Trinidad Soca 2026 – Anthemic energy for the all-night crew.
Steelbands are tuning up. Mas bands have launched. And we haven’t even heard a cuatro strum for Christmas yet—imagine that. The Carnival spirit is already alive, and Sokah2Soca is your backstage pass to every beat, every band, and every big release leading to the greatest show on earth.
Whether you’re a Soca veteran, a Carnival newbie, or just Soca-curious, the new music is here to excite. The Caribbean diaspora is on notice. And yes, we’re watching Julianspromos like hawks—we post from every source, so you don’t miss a thing.
And for the Calypso lovers: we see you. We know Calypso doesn’t get the spotlight Soca does, but we’re committed to changing that. Expect new Calypso drops and deep dives into lyrical brilliance—because Carnival isn’t complete without it.

Love That Lasts: Hey Choppi’s “Old & Grey” Brings Tenderness to the Soca Stage

September 27, 2025
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 said Soca can’t be tender? “Old & Grey” is here to prove them wrong. This heartfelt love song from Hey Choppi and AdvoKit Productions paints a vivid picture of a couple who’ve lived, loved, and laughed their way through life—now growing old together with grace and gratitude.
Yes, it shares a title with Patrice Roberts’ “Old and Grey,” but this one takes a different emotional route. It’s not just about aging—it’s about fulfillment, legacy, and the kind of love that dances through decades. Soca music isn’t just for the jump and wave—it’s for the heart, too. And this track? It’s a keeper.
The songwriting team of Sean “Hey Choppi” Padmore and Chalmer John did a wonderful job with the lyrics for this song. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by AdvoKit Productions... it all adds up to making it a keeper. We believe in giving credit where it is due, and in this case, we applaud Gideon Bishop for the additional instrumentation and Shania K. Perez for directing the visualizer. Everything helps make the track a professional effort, of which we take note.
The track is a keeper and if you’re curating your personal playlist or setting the mood for a backyard lime, this one deserves a spot. Expect it to echo across the diaspora—from headphones to house parties, from quiet reflections to Carnival whine-downs.
Soca encompasses a wide range of music, appealing to both young and old generations. The accompanying image depicts a youthful couple envisioning themselves as they age, illustrating how Soca takes us home. "Old & Grey" serves as a reminder that love, in all its stages, is woven into the rhythm.

Kristina James Ignites the Soca Scene for Carnival 2026 with “Take Me Away”
in
Blog
September 27, 2025
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.
This is a moment for a sound check; I am captivated by this song and the talent behind it—it's wonderful! As Trinidad and Tobago prepares for Carnival 2026, a new and captivating voice, Kristina James, is leading the way. I feel like a proud parent as I debut this song on Sokah2Soca. Take Me Away is outstanding from start to finish—the vocals, the music, and the video imagery are all exceptional; more importantly, it signifies the arrival of new and emerging talent. This young lady is proof of our island's reputation as a powerhouse for female Soca artists... the future is in excellent hands.
Kristina's potential shines brightly with this song, her command of the camera, and her vocals, which just punctuate the concept of the video. Her command of the camera captured my attention as I watched the visualizer on YouTube. Indeed, it offers a glimpse of her future, demonstrating her readiness to leave her mark. If you watch the video and listen attentively, I assure you that it will transport you into a realm of longing, rhythm, and the release of pleasure. The title itself feels prophetic: she has, indeed, taken us away.
Now let's give credit where it is due. The talented team of Kristina James, Kitwana Israel & Bailey Management wrote Take Me Away, while Devon "Chippy" Joseph & AdvoKit Productions produced it. AdvoKit Productions handled the engineering (mixing and mastering). The mixing and mastering, also done by AdvoKit Productions, ensure that every beat and vocal nuance lands with clarity and impact.
What makes Kristina’s debut especially exciting is how seamlessly she fits into Trinidad’s lineage of formidable female Soca performers. Fans of Patrice Roberts, Fay-Ann Lyons, Destra Garcia and my favorite, Terri Lyons, will immediately see the potential that is bursting out with this new song. Kristina is not just following her peers; she is carving her path, and Sokah2Soca is thrilled to be part of that journey.
This release is more than a song drop—it’s a cultural moment. "Take Me Away" is poised to become a Carnival anthem, and Kristina James is an artist to watch. Her voice, her presence, and her creative team have all come together to deliver something truly special. Sokah2Soca takes pride in showcasing this debut, urging listeners to tune in, amp up the volume, and experience the ascent of a rising star.
Kristina James is on fire—and Carnival 2026 just got its first spark. Radio personalities, please don't stick on this track... have it on rotation!
