Jamaican recording artist Alaine has officially confirmed the development of her first full-length studio album in ten years, marking a significant return to the music scene after a prolonged creative hiatus. The ‘No Ordinary Love’ vocalist revealed in an exclusive Jamaica Observer interview that she is actively crafting new material with renewed artistic vision.
“The album is finally coming. I’m dedicating myself to creating meaningful music that truly represents my artistic evolution,” Alaine stated. “This project reflects my authentic self and showcases my musical capabilities in ways fans haven’t experienced before.”
The artist’s discography includes 2015’s ‘Ten of Hearts,’ preceded by the Japan-exclusive release ‘Luv A Dub’ (2009) and her debut album ‘Sacrifice’ (2008). While fans await the new album, Alaine has released the summer-inspired single ‘Summertime,’ a collaborative effort with Protoje released through Indigg.Nation.Collective in September.
In a noteworthy patriotic gesture, Alaine disclosed her ongoing recording sessions with production team Daseca to create an anthem for Jamaica’s bobsled team. “Their remarkable ascent couldn’t have come at a better time,” she commented, drawing parallels to Jamaica’s growing presence in international basketball.
The accomplished singer has maintained an active international performance schedule throughout the year, with recent appearances in Florida and The Bahamas, and upcoming shows scheduled in Antigua and Kenya. “Music transcends borders—songs I recorded two decades ago continue to fuel my international touring career,” Alaine reflected on her enduring global appeal.
Beyond her performing career, Alaine has transitioned from her role as a judge on Digicel Rising Stars to mentoring emerging artists. “I’m committed to supporting talented young performers by providing them with platforms to showcase their abilities during my performances,” she emphasized regarding her dedication to nurturing new generations of Jamaican musical talent.
