This song was too powerful to keep on one platform.
Originally featured on Kaiso Dial, Chuck Gordon’s “Love Mehself” is now shared here on Sokah2Soca — because healing, identity, and inner power deserve a wider stage.
We’ve kept the post intact, with only the headline updated to reflect Sokah2Soca’s voice.
Read, reflect, and feel the message.
When you are passionate about your culture, you do not wait until the next carnival season to release new music! Having said that, we cry that Soca artists should continue releasing new music but never do the same for the mother music, Calypso. Today Roderick "Chuck" Gordon is showing how all artists, especially Calypso artists, should proceed. He calls the style 'Jiggy Calypso,' and it is a very meaningful song. This is a beautifully written song, and we know you will love it!
Let's do this...
With the release of “Love Mehself,” Chuck Gordon invites us on a deeply personal journey—one that begins in Laventille, winds through Port of Spain, and ultimately leads inward. The music video is both a visual and emotional reflection of his roots, his growth, and the realities faced by many in Trinidad and Tobago.
This Calypso speaks to healing, self-reflection, and acceptance. It’s a reminder that transformation begins within—before we can challenge systems or uplift culture, we must first do the internal work.
“Love mehself in the hard times,
Make mehself hold a nice vibes…”
From spaces of tension to moments of peace, the video mirrors the emotional arc of the song—showing that even after the hardest journeys, joy and clarity are still possible.
To anyone facing pressure or uncertainty: breathe, reflect, and choose yourself.
Find a way to love yourself… even in the hard times.
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
