New Soca Release: Tevin Hartman’s “Rock With Me” Celebrates Romance and Rhythm
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.
Tevin Hartman is back with a groove-soca gem that’s pure vibes and tender emotion. His latest track, “Rock With Me,” produced and engineered by the ever-slick Brooklyn Decent, is a sonic love letter wrapped in rhythm and warmth.
Unlike Patrice Roberts’ fiery “Rock So,” which claps back at the haters, Tevin’s “Rock With Me” takes us in a softer, more intimate direction. This is not about defiance—it’s about devotion. The song narrates Tevin's intense love for someone special, engulfed in a captivating wave of infatuation. His only wish? He longs for her to "rock with me" throughout the entire night.
As new songs are released, people are seeking one that resonates with them. It could be a hook in the chorus or something about the beat that they love. So what's so special about this song? What stands out? One special aspect of this song is its groove, which followers of this blog already know I prefer over other types of music. This groove invites you to sway and enjoy musical waves, not 'jump and wave.' The song's lyrical content encapsulates the essence of gratitude, joy, and the exhilarating rush of falling in love or becoming enthralled with someone special.
Now let's shower some flowers for the production team involved with this song. Brooklyn Decent’s production brings a polished, soulful edge that complements Tevin’s vocal sincerity. Supayouth's additional work on the keys and Trinibaby's background vocals all add up to make this groove feel good. Finally, let's not forget the songwriting team of Philo, Coutain, Tevin Hartman & Brooklyn Decent; we appreciate the thought process and look forward to more positive vibes.
And there you have it, groovy Soca music just the way I like it... inviting and delivering sentiments that make for a sweet carnival whine. Whether you are experiencing love, yearning, or simply enjoying your own company, “Rock With Me” is a track that resonates deeply—perhaps even leaving you feeling a bit enchanted. Ready to rock with Tevin? Let’s go.

Patrice Roberts just dropped her latest Soca gem—“Rock So”—and it’s giving us all the feels! This one’s not just a dancefloor banger; it’s a peek into Patrice’s evolving emotional palette. Her recent releases have been more introspective, and “Rock So” continues that journey with a smooth, sultry vibe that’s both playful and personal.
Songs like "Cook It" and "Great Escape" show how she’s been blending bold visuals with deeper themes—and "Rock So" is no exception. The music video is flirtatious and full of energy, but there’s one moment that made me pause: a male voice clip that pops in unexpectedly. I think it breaks the flow; others think it adds a layer of mystery. C'est La Vie!
Patrice is poised to make a significant impact during the upcoming carnival celebrations. This entry feels good, and we expect at least six music releases from this talented vocalist/artist for the upcoming season. Rock Me shows her range—from tender to fierce. Patrice can do no wrong; enjoy her road to female vocalist domination in Soca!
So let’s get into it as I wrap up this post: I absolutely love this song. The lyrical content is relatable, and the production is not just clean—it’s musically layered and full of sonic sweetness. The instrumentation sets the mood beautifully, with melodies that wash over you—whether crafted by live players or digital hands, it works.
And then there’s Patrice. Elegant and saucy all at once, her vocals make you feel so good. You want more of her as the song pulls you in deeper. She’s mesmerizing, she’s gorgeous, and she knows exactly how to deliver.
“Rock So” is the kind of track that hits you in the chest and the waistline. This isn’t just Soca for the moment—it’s Soca with depth. And that’s what makes it unforgettable.

Late Night Riddim: Smooth or Snooze? Sekon Sta’s Production Misses the Mark
in
Blog
September 26, 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.
I am about to be beaten up online for my take on this "Late Night Riddim" release, but, as I usually do, I say what I feel when I first listen. However, "before mouth open and story jump out," before I bare my soul, here’s the buzz online about the new production by Sekon Sta, although this isn’t his first time creating vibes.
The vibe online for Sekon Sta’s newly released Late Night Riddim is pure fire—a sultry, sensual celebration of nighttime energy wrapped in Caribbean rhythm. The project is being embraced as a bold evolution for Sekon Sta, who’s now stepping confidently into the producer’s chair, and fans are loving the results.
I am going to cut through the hype and speak candidly. Soca, like many genres, thrives on energy and innovation, and when a riddim feels too safe or underproduced, it can struggle to stand out in a crowded release cycle. This rhythm feels too simple... like a bedroom-produced beat. Good things can happen in a bedroom, but this one feels a bit too simple.
Let's try and unpack my thoughts. As I said above, the production feels too simple. So, what does that mean? The Late Night Riddim leans into a minimalistic vibe. While some fans appreciate the stripped-down sensuality, others—like myself—might find it lacking the layered complexity or punch that defines more memorable Soca hits.
Fans of these artists are unlikely to favor this album review. I am convinced this review will ruffle some feathers; feelings will be frayed and hurt here. Even seasoned artists can sound tentative when stepping into a new sonic space. It’s possible that the mellow tone of the riddim didn’t give them enough room to showcase their full vocal dynamism. I don't mean to imply they sound amateurish, but damn, I've heard better from these artists.
So here is my main concern. Soca is fast-moving, especially with Carnival seasons and regional releases constantly refreshing the soundscape. Without a breakout hit or viral moment, riddims like this can easily get overshadowed and fade away and be totally forgotten as a wave of new music floods the music scene.
Fans and artists can counter my review/thinking here for sure. Some listeners are embracing the album as a “vibe piece” rather than a chart-chaser—something to set the mood rather than dominate the dance floor. But your perspective highlights a real tension in Soca: the balance between vibe and vitality.
Please listen to all the songs before commenting. If you think I was unfair to the producer or the artists, call me out! Time for some honesty now: if you were the program director on a radio station, or if you were or are a DJ, would you prioritize these songs? Just asking for a friend!
YouTube Music Notes:
Get ready for a sensual soca experience! The highly anticipated Late Night Riddim, produced by Sekon Sta, blends smooth, seductive melodies with infectious Caribbean energy, delivering a soundtrack for unforgettable moments.

It is Friday and a good time to release new music for the weekend. Today we feature a well-known but often overlooked artist, Devon George. He is back with a vibrant new track titled Friendship, a feel-good Soca release that would, hopefully, stir emotions for carnival 2026. Written by Anthony Devon George, produced by Devon himself, and engineered by Shawn Jackie, this early drop blends upbeat rhythms with a message that’s all about connection and celebration.
Apart from this featured post, the song is on our new music playlist on YouTube, where the infectious groove and polished production shine through. It’s a track that feels tailor-made for liming with friends, even if radio rotation in Trinidad and Tobago remains uncertain. Unless you are well known to radio jocks and management in Trinidad and Tobago, it will be an uncertain road to get on rotation!
Will it even get on the airwaves? It is uncertain whether music will be played on the radio in Trinidad, as the reality of radio there is quite unpredictable regarding music selection. Our best guess? Maybe not. But in a digital-first world, Devon’s real challenge—and opportunity—lies in social media. If your song lights up social media, listeners won't have a choice but to engage if they want to remain relevant. With the right push, "Friendship" could find its tribe online, especially among his "beautiful friends" and Soca fans looking for fresh vibes.
Devon’s got a solid foundation with Friendship. Now it’s all about momentum. Devon will have to lean on his friends and 'friendship' to ensure that this song creates a buzz that goes beyond the challenges of SEO clicks online. Radio promotion will require good luck, along with many phone calls and connections to be effective. Good luck, Devon.
