One of reggae music’s most exciting rising stars, Immanuel ‘Ras-I’ Kerr has formally launched his highly anticipated third full-length studio project, *Heart of Love*, which made its official global debut on Friday, May 15.
Kerr, who previously earned critical acclaim and fan favor for the fan-favorite tracks Kingman Ting and Crazy Over You, has crafted this new 12-track collection as a curated selection of upbeat, soul-warming reggae designed to lift listeners’ spirits. Three cuts have already emerged as early standout selections from the album: Somewhere Wonderful, Reggae Mountain, and the collaborative track Oya, which features a guest verse from popular dancehall artist Govana. Industry observers note the new release further solidifies Kerr’s growing reputation as a consistent hitmaker, with the cohesive, well-crafted project standing as proof of his evolving artistic range.
Ahead of the official street date, Kerr hosted an album launch celebration on Thursday, May 14 at Kingston’s popular Janga’s Soundbar & Grill. The event drew a packed crowd of enthusiastic fans, music industry stakeholders, and fellow artists, all gathered to honor Kerr’s career milestone. Many of Kerr’s peers in the Jamaican music scene turned out to show their support in person, including prominent reggae and dancehall acts Christopher Martin, Turbulence, Bugle, Naomi Cowan, Joby Jay, Royal Blu, and Jah Lil, among dozens of other attendees.
As of the official release date, *Heart of Love* is available for both streaming and digital purchase across every major global audio platform, allowing fans anywhere in the world to access the new record.
