I express myself through these song selections today. I love Groove Soca and songs that convey feelings that reach into my soul. Today, I have compiled a list of my top 10 recent music releases for Carnival 2025, a list that truly reflects my personal style. I expect to get some serious blows for these song selections as fans express their disappointment over the lack of variety in the lineup. Many are calling for a return to the roots of Soca music, hoping to see more traditional sounds and influences in future releases. Then there will be those who criticize the lack of any fast-paced Soca. I am currently experiencing a "moment!" and I am a fan of Groove Soca music.

However, it's not the popular songs that make "Santiwah" feel content when he listens to them. Music is all about mood and feel, and this is my mood today (Sunday, December 22, 2024). Of course I cheated; I have eleven songs on my list!

Kahil Gibran once said, "Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life, bringing peace and abolishing strife." My selections calm my soul and make me feel good.

Fans of Soca and lovers of Caribbean music, we believe this post has the potential to be a memorable moment (mic drop) for the curator of this song listing. Nikki G, "The Voice," is here to shake things up with her Top 10 Soca Songs for Carnival 2025. Be aware that these are her choices as of December 21, 2024; she plans to modify the list (true Tini talk: make changes, nah) as new music releases and unique opportunities arise.

 

But wait a moment; perhaps you're unaware of Nikki's awesome talent! Well, excuse me for being so rude! Let's go to the Island Vybe Radio website and extract some useful information: "Known by many across the media and Caribbean entertainment landscape as Nikki G-The Voice, the Trinidad and Tobago-born voiceover talent, digital media professional, and podcast host is making waves internationally."

 

Nikki G, the host of the Saturday morning talk show where she interviews prominent figures in music and culture, has a keen understanding of the Soca music scene! Her song choices demonstrate her attentiveness and avoidance of the day's hype.

 

Despite her reluctance to admit it (we assumed she would), she is challenging the Island Vybe Philly Radio DJs today with her carefully chosen playlist. Some of the songs she has selected are ones I personally enjoy listening to. There are many facets to 'Carnival music,' and the same is true for all Soca music. These are not Carnival wine and jam selections but sweet Soca music selections. Please consider this before commenting on Nikki's song selections. What are your thoughts on Nikki's song selections? Do you feel her vibe, and are they some of your own favorites? 

 

Let us know what you think about these songs and tell us if we can find common ground with these selections. Stay tuned and keep the vibes alive. We have more DJ selections to post!
