FEEL IT TO BELIEVE IT: PROTOJE DROPS A SEDUCTIVE SUMMER BURNER

Protoje flips the script on Feel It, a lustrous, low-slung rhythm that purrs rather than preaches. Released with a dreamy video by Samo, it’s a seductive slow jam built on syncopation, subtle shifts and serious body heat.

Produced by Winta James, the cut glides between reggae, jazz and soul, anchored by The Indiggnation’s featherlight touch. Protoje’s delivery, usually sharpened for resistance, here softens into something fluid and flirtatious. “A song that brings people closer,” he says, and that’s precisely what it does.

No big statements, no posturing, just a breeze of a tune with enough space to sway. It’s the kind of track that fills rooftops, back seats and after-midnight dances with the suggestion that something might spark.

FEEL IT FLOATS LIKE SMOKE AND LANDS WITH PURPOSE

Still, Protoje hasn’t dropped his guard. His Colors x Studios session for Big 45 hits with cool precision, pushing the single’s profile even higher. Already a chart-topper in Jamaica, the track adds fire to his expanding catalogue.

Meanwhile, his tour rolls through Europe, North America, and the Caribbean, with stops at Reggae Sumfest, Levitate, and Reggae Geel, stretching well into 2026. Protoje’s pace is relentless, but on Feel It, he proves that sometimes the softest touch hits the deepest.
