J’CALM CHANNELS REGGAE’S GOLDEN ERA ON MASTERFUL ‘EMOTIONS’
Jamaican singer-songwriter J’Calm has dropped Emotions, his sophomore album that crackles with generational energy. Released via K-Licious Music and DubShot Records, the 13-track collection unites reggae royalty with emerging voices.
The 20-year-old social media sensation enlisted Grammy-winning producers Tony “CD” Kelly and Sean Paul to craft this compelling body of work. Kelly masterfully reimagines classic riddims, flipping the storied Answer Riddim for the title track and breathing fresh life into the Green Apples Riddim for Real Love.
Guest appearances shine throughout. Grammy-nominated veterans Wayne Wonder and Ky-Mani Marley lend their wisdom, while rising stars Nigy Boy and Khalia add contemporary flair. The buoyant Weekend captures 90s dancehall nostalgia. Kilimanjaro delivers hard-hitting swagger. Be Yourself offers uplifting encouragement.
THE STYLING, THE CREATIVITY, PERFORMANCE, EVERYTHING, IT ALL CAME TOGETHER
J’Calm channels Michael Jackson in the Real Love video, directed by Samo (Chronixx, Koffee). The Clarendon native showcases impressive dance moves while preparing a romantic roadside dinner.
“The real love music video is almost the most authentic I’ve ever been on set,” he shared. “The styling, the creativity, performance… everything. It all came together.”
With nearly 2 million social media followers, J’Calm calls his faithful to action on Calm Nation. This album represents an emotional release: raw, confident, and utterly infectious.
