The main events for Soca and Calypso at Spicemas 2025 showcased the talent of the Spice isle. The vibe was right and the energy in the crowd was palpable. It was a night to remember, and the champions/monarchs of Soca (Power and Groovy) and Calypso were crowned. From thunderous Power Soca anthems to smooth Groovy vibes and lyrical Calypso mastery, the stage was set ablaze as new monarchs claimed their crowns. 

 

Big congratulations to the 2025 Power Soca, Groovy Soca, and Calypso Monarch winners—your brilliance lit up the island and raised the bar for Caribbean music! 

Soca music fans' music cup is overflowing with sweet music from our very talented artists. As the years add on and we move forward, the music excellence just keeps getting better. Today we feature a track from Saint Lucia's 2026 carnival. “I Am Soca” isn’t just a track—it’s a declaration. This song oozes with Caribbean swagger and, if marketed properly, could impact carnivals across the Caribbean basin.

 

The song was written by the singer, Imran "Nerdy" Magloire and Mica and celebrates Saint Lucian culture. The genre-savvy crew at Rapid Entertainment produced a sound that is polished, potent, and primed for global impact, with Minor Productionz handling the mixing, mastering, and additional production.

 

And the vocal layering? Pure family fire. Harmony “Mamo” Magloire, Kimari “Marik” Magloire, and Zanye “Mighty Z” Lawrencin lend their voices to amplify the anthem’s soul—proof that when Lucians link up, the vibes are unstoppable.

 

Whether you’re chippin’ down the boulevard or turning up your commute, the track is 2025 Soca in full throttle. It’s bold, it’s proud, and it’s infectious.

 

Therefore, we reiterate our question: I Am Soca—are you with us?  Let's now tackle the pressing issue at hand. To honor Imran Nerdy x Mica's contribution, I saved this for last. In 2012, Patrice Roberts and Kerwin Du Bois gave us "I Am Soca," a song that is a model for telling us what Soca is all about. The YouTube music player below features both songs. So, tell us what you think. Do you love both songs or have a preference? Share your thoughts with us. 

 

Real talk, soca Family... something smells in here. And no, it’s not West Indian KFC. It’s that stinking behavior that Patrice Roberts is calling out in her latest anthem, “Not Today.” This track is not merely a breakup anthem; it serves as a definitive statement of zero tolerance for foolishness, and we fully support it.

 

But let’s address the elephant in upcoming carnival fetes:That chorus? What does the word "funk" mean? Yeah... we know how the song is going down. Caribbean people possess a unique ability to improvise lyrics, and it's undeniable that "funk" is poised for a dramatic and very spicy as well as controversial transformation. Because when Patrice sings, “Get that funk away from me,” we are already hearing, “Get to fuck away from me!” ?

 

What's more, it works! Cussing is considered an art form in the Caribbean. Wait, wait, wait, no... Trinis like to cuss too damn much. But when you think about it, it just sweetens the conversation! It’s not just about being rude—it’s rhythm, it’s release, it’s realness. We cuss in style and with style to emphasize our points, express our feelings, and make them resonate more strongly—think of it as adding Morouga Scorpion pepper for extra flavor! But... we just like to cuss, right!?  Now that Patrice has released this track, don't be surprised if it transitions into an unofficial anthem for every disgruntled queen or king seeking to express their frustrations and restore their tranquility—adding a touch of lyrical spice.

 

Play it loud. Sing it proud. Substitute as needed. "Not Today" is more than just a song; it encompasses an entire atmosphere. And if you feel like cussing? Well... we're not judging. We vibing.
