“Soca Therapy,” was released in the summer of 1998, which debut Samuel Archer into the worldbeat genre, respectively soca. Just to note, Soca Therapy has never been formatted for Internet downloads and it’s presently out of print, however this new project features two strong favorites namely “Caribbean Man (In America),” and “Soca Therapy.” In 1999 he followed with “The Return,” which reflected inspirations from his trip to West Africa. The song “Till We Do Something About It,” became an anthem for various progressive causes and also cemented Samuel as an artist with a message. His biggest selling album to date is “De Gospel According to Sam,” which resonated well with the Caribbean market, primarily the American Christian market and the European Christian markets respectively.
