As we continue on the road to Carnival 2026, here's another early look at what's buzzing throughout the Caribbean for Carnival 2026. And if early buzz is anything to go by, 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for soca music.
Whether you're preparing for Trinidad Carnival, Crop Over, Spice Mas, or anywhere the Caribbean diaspora gathers to celebrate, here are some Soca songs and artists poised to dominate the season thus far.
1. Kimba Sorzano, MadLypso - Addicted To Bad Gyal
A marvelous return to form for Kimba providing us with another anthem to wine down low to. I'm definitely addicted to THIS SONG!!!
2. Freetown Collective - Kaya
Freetown once again feeding the hungry with another groovy masterpiece taking us back in time whilst staying perfectly hip and comtemporary... perfect for the road come Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
3. Coutain & Tano - Wedding Band (Ms Walker)
Good morning Ms Walker, they come to take yuh daughter out on d road with this sweet call... LOVE IT!!
4. Machel Montano x Tano - Compromise
Any list would be compromised without the king himself. One of the many bangers to come from the undisputed King of Soca.
5. Machel Montano, Skinny Fabulous, Lil Natty & Thunda - Pull D Pin
And of course if there was anyone to make a double feature on this list, it would be Machel. A brand new collab coming out from Soca's heavy hitters... this one is for the STAGE!!
With the momentum building and artists already teasing snippets, Soca 2026 looks ready to deliver a season of unforgettable rhythms, powerful messages, and pure Carnival magic. Whether you’re in the stadium, on the road, or flying across the world to touch a fete, these anticipated releases will set the soundtrack for a year of celebration.
