Soca Queen is the debut album by soca artist Alison Hinds. It was released on physical formats in Canada on October 16, 2007, having been made available on iTunes on 9 October.[1] It was released in the Caribbean later that year.[1]
The album features the hit single "Roll It Gal", and includes the songs "Ladies Rule" and "Faluna" which date from Hinds' time as singer of the band Square One.[2] "Thundah" was also released as a single.[3] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times described it as "a winsome CD, full of breezy songs that emphasize the genre’s links to both Afro-pop (those bass lines!) and Euro-trance (those synthesizers!)".[4]
