Soca divas light up John Cupid Carnival Village
“She Come To Jam,” held at the John Cupid Carnival Village on Friday, brought together an extraordinary lineup of female soca powerhouses—Nailah Blackman, Nadia Batson, Patrice Roberts, Terri Lyons, Destra Garcia, Fay-Ann Lyons, Nessa Preppy, Jadel, Drupatee and Nisha B.
Rarely do the stars align for so many of the genre’s leading acts to share one stage on the same night, and even more so at a free concert. The massive crowd was treated to hit after hit from the soca divas, in a high-energy show that ran smoothly from start to finish.
Jadel redefines her sound—and her message
The soca siren is making a bold statement with her new single, Another Man—a track that calls on women everywhere to set clear, non-negotiable boundaries and standards in their romantic relationships.
The Woodbrook-born songstress, long recognised for championing female empowerment, says it’s time for women to stop settling.
“Too many women feel stuck in situations where they’re undervalued,” Jadel Legere said. “This song is a reminder that you deserve respect, love, and happiness. If you’re not getting that, then maybe it’s time to find another man.”
