D' Soca Zone joins the growing number of annual soca compilations, providing party music year-round and not just at Carnival time. This is a pleasant enough collection of contemporary soca tunes, offering up breezy, catchy tunes such as Touch's "To Take Away," as well as
Denise Belfon's rough delivery on the hot "Panic." However, the overall synthesized sound of most of the songs takes away from the authentic steel-pan rhythm that defines the spirit of Carnival. ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
