Jamaican roots-reggae artiste Ras-I has officially announced the release of his third studio album, Heart of Love, scheduled to arrive worldwide on May 15, 2026.

The 13-track project is now available for pre-save on all major digital streaming platforms, marking the beginning of a new creative chapter for the award-winning singer-songwriter.

Heart of Love is a deeply intentional body of work that explores love in its many dimensions — romantic, spiritual, ancestral, communal, and self-reflective. The album reflects classic reggae traditions while embracing contemporary Afro-Caribbean and soul-inflected influences.

The album continues Ras-I’s reputation for music that is both conscious and emotionally resonant.

“This album is about the kind of love that sustains you,” Ras-I shares. “The love that grounds you through challenges, connects you to purpose, and reminds you of who you are, even in dark times.
Heart of Love is that vibration.”

The album features collaborations with some of reggae and dancehall’s most respected and dynamic voices, including Kabaka Pyramid, Govana, Khalia, and Nesta, each contributing to the album’s layered narrative, versatility and musical depth.

Fans have already been introduced to the Heart of Love era through the release of the first single,
Reggae Mountain — a vibrant and uplifting track celebrating reggae’s unifying power and spiritual roots. The song has received strong local and international media attention since its release, reinforcing anticipation for the full project. Additional singles from the album, including Forever and Always and These Are The Days, are slated for release in the lead-up to the album release.

Heart of Love follows Ras-I’s critically praised albums Tsojourna (2019) and Kingman (2021) and arrives on the heels of significant career milestones. In 2023, Ras-I received the JaRIA Song of the Year Award for Somewhere Wonderful, and in 2024 he was named Best New Reggae Artist at the Caribbean Music Awards. His music has also featured prominently on global stages and campaigns, including the Jamaica Tourist Board’s international Easter campaign.

Renowned for his commanding live performances, Ras-I has graced major festivals, such as Reggae Sumfest, Rebel Salute, Reggae Sunsplash, Tosh Fest, Reggae Geel, City Splash, and SXSW London. With Heart of Love, he continues to expand his global reach while remaining firmly rooted in reggae’s cultural and spiritual foundations.

The album is currently available for pre-save via all major streaming and digital platforms.
