Jada Kingdom announces highly anticipated new EP

Jamaican recording artist Jada Kingdom has officially revealed plans to launch her newest extended play collection, titled ‘Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World,’ with a scheduled release date of January 21, 2026. This announcement arrives following an exceptionally productive year that has significantly elevated her standing within the global music landscape.

The upcoming project promises to further demonstrate Kingdom’s distinctive artistic vision, which seamlessly merges contemporary dancehall rhythms with pop sensibilities and R&B influences. Her unique approach to music creation has established her as an innovative force while simultaneously preserving strong connections to her cultural roots.

Throughout 2025, Kingdom maintained an extensive presence across multiple platforms, delivering several successful singles that captured audience attention worldwide. Her tracks ‘Can’t Tell Me That,’ ‘Only You,’ and particularly the viral phenomenon ‘GAD’ generated substantial momentum. The latter’s studio performance feature on On The Radar achieved viral status, accumulating over one million combined views on Instagram and TikTok within mere days of its release.

Originally launched on March 21, 2025, ‘GAD’ achieved remarkable commercial performance throughout Jamaica and broader Caribbean markets. The single reached number three on Apple Music’s Top 25 Kingston Chart, representing the highest chart position secured by any female artist during that period. Additionally, it secured Top 5 placements on Shazam’s recognition platform across numerous countries, underscoring its widespread cultural resonance.

Critical reception matched the commercial success, with Billboard applauding Kingdom’s innovative approach to local vernacular combined with feminist thematic elements, describing the work as ‘terrific.’ Stereogum characterized the production as both nostalgically evocative and progressively innovative, labeling it a ‘2000s pop revival.’ Further acclaim originated from respected publications including HNHH, Kaboom Mag, The Star, Caribbean National Weekly, and MusicxClusives.

Kingdom’s international touring schedule throughout 2025 provided additional evidence of her expanding global influence. Her performance calendar included a commanding appearance at New York’s UBS Arena in May, followed by a London engagement during the Soak’d Pineapple x SANDZ Ultra Weekend in August. The year concluded with her headline performance at Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Europe concert event in Malta during September.
