Plas Moon introduces More Love More Life to Jamaica with soulful debut
Having recently made Jamaica her permanent home, singer-songwriter Plas Moon is introducing herself to local audiences with her new album, More Love More Life, a deeply personal project rooted in love, resilience and self-discovery.
Blending R&B, soul, reggae and jazz, the singer describes the album as a reflection of the emotions that have shaped her life in recent years.
“More Love More Life is an energy of femininity, romance, gratitude and confirmation,” she said. “I consider myself a wild goddess of love and life, pouring into those around me and soaking it in when that love comes back to me.”
The album arrives after a period marked by profound personal experiences, including the loss of loved ones, motherhood, spiritual battles and supporting others through depression and attempted suicide.
“These past few years have been so hard, but the album is a reminder to always remain open to more love and more life, whatever that looks like,” she explained. “Love wins and conquers all.”
Although she has travelled between the United States and Jamaica for more than a decade, Plas Moon and her family officially relocated to the island about a year ago. She says the move was driven by both cultural and family values.
“From my very first visit, I felt an unspoken connection to Jamaica, its culture and its people. My husband and I also wanted our children to grow up where Black people are the majority and where many of the principles we value are still alive,” she stated.
Drawing inspiration from icons such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Aretha Franklin and Miriam Makeba, Plas Moon hopes to revive what she calls “real music.”
“In my voice you’ll probably hear Aretha, but in my message you’ll definitely hear Marley and Tosh. They were righteous rebels who weren’t afraid to be bold and different,” she said.
Her multicultural background, combining Ghanaian-African and Blackfoot heritage, also plays a central role in her artistry. From Kente cloth and beads to feathers and turquoise, she incorporates meaningful cultural symbols into both her image and music as a way of staying connected to her ancestry.
Since its release, More Love More Life has been receiving an encouraging response from listeners, with Give You My Love, A Beauty & a Beast and Cup of Tea emerging as early favourites.
“The response has been amazing and far more than I anticipated,” she said, revealing that Give You My Love brought her to tears several times while recording because of its spiritual depth.
Plas Moon isn’t slowing down. She is already working on an all-reggae EP, which she hopes to release within the next couple of months, while also planning live performances, community initiatives and collaborations with Jamaican artistes.
“I’ve got so much more to do, and my best creations are still to come,” she said. “Fall in love with the Plas Moon sound, energy and experience. I promise there will be more.”
