Koffee on a ‘Roll’

Koffee became the first female artiste from Jamaica to score a top-10 placement on the UK Albums chart, when Gifted entered and peaked at number nine.

Gifted, the follow-up to her Grammy-winning EP Rapture, rose to number two on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. The publication named the album as the eighth best-selling album of 2022.

More accolades for Koffee as Rolling Stone magazine ranked Gifted at number 38 on its list of 100 Best Albums of 2022.

Lindsay Zoladz, a pop music critic and writer for the New York Times, named Pull Up, a track from Gifted, as number 23 on her list of Best Songs of 2022.

Gifted is nominated in the Best Reggae Album category of the 2023 Grammy Awards.
