Jada Kingdom to launch Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World

Critically acclaimed Jamaican recording artiste Jada Kingdom has announced her next EP, Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World, set for release on January 21, 2026.

Following a breakthrough 2025 the project cements the artiste as a singular and influential voice in contemporary music, seamlessly bridging modern dancehall, pop, and R&B with bold innovation and confidence.

Throughout 2025, Jada Kingdom remained a commanding presence across music, media, and live performances. She released a string of standout singles, including Can’t Tell Me That, Only You, and the viral sensation G.A.D.

The release of G.A.D was accompanied by an electrifying in-studio performance on On The Radar, which quickly went viral, amassing over 1 million views across Instagram and TikTok within days.

Released on March 21, 2025, G.A.D achieved notable commercial success in Jamaica and across the Caribbean, peaking at #3 on Apple Music’s Top 25 Kingston Chart as the highest-charting song by a female artiste at the time. The track also earned Top 5 Shazam placements in multiple countries, reflecting its widespread appeal and cultural impact.

Critics lauded the single’s innovation. Billboard highlighted Jada Kingdom’s ability to challenge local slang while injecting a feminist perspective, calling it “terrific”. Stereogum praised its nostalgic yet forward-thinking production, dubbing it “a 2000s pop revival”. Additional acclaim came from HNHH, Kaboom Mag, The Star, Caribbean National Weekly, and MusicxClusives, all celebrating her fearless blend of genre influences.

Jada Kingdom’s live performances throughout 2025 further showcased her reach. She performed at UBS Arena in New York in May, delivering a commanding US appearance, followed by a standout London set at the Soak’d Pineapple x SANDZ Ultra Weekend in August, and culminating with Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Europe concert event in Malta in September.

With a style that commands attention and an energy that draws audiences in, Jada Kingdom isn’t just is carving out a space for herself.

Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World promises a bold, fearless journey through ambition, the reclamation of power, and unapologetic self-expression, solidifying Jada Kingdom’s place as one of the most dynamic and influential voices in music today.

Born and raised in 7 Mile Bull Bay (Gold Shore Lane), Jada Kingdom, from the tender age of eight, used her imagination to pen heartfelt poems. Influenced by legendary artistes like Nina Simone, Diana King, Sade, Minnie Riperton, and Amy Winehouse, she absorbed the melodies and emotions that would inspire her captivating sound.

In 2017, she debuted with the single Love Situations, but it was with the infectious Banana that she took the international stage by storm, captivating audiences and amassing a staggering six million Spotify streams and four million YouTube views.

Jada Kingdom.

Jada Kingdom.
