Koffee’s New Album To Have An ‘Interesting Twist’

Known for her contemporary genre-bending sounds, Jamaican artist Koffee says she has something new and unexpected in store for those familiar with her music.

The Spanish Town native was the first woman and youngest artist to win the Best Reggae Album Grammy award for her 2019 EP, Rapture.  For her debut album, she wants to tweak her history-making formula to focus on the idea of unity and positivity with ‘a very interesting twist’.

“I want to speak of a solution and of a way that we can come together and get along, even when things are going wrong,” Koffee told Rolling Stone Magazine in a new interview today when asked about her upcoming full-length album.

“Positivity is definitely a theme. It will be a very interesting twist for people who knew my music before, and also for people who will discover me. I think it will be really awesome,” the 21-year-old singer added.

The W singer has so far been tight-lipped about the upcoming LP. In July last year, she told the Jamaica Star that her main focus then was the album.

“I am doing a little camp right now, that’s just me and some musicians and producers and a few artistes. We just a build a vibes, seeing where that vibe takes us, and hopefully we create magic. The biggest thing for me right now is this album. Of course, I’ll be releasing singles in-between to kinda keep the pace a little, but the album is really where my focus is right now.”

The ‘camp’ she later explained to Vibe Magazine, centered around Popcaan’s music studio, where she met Unruly producer Dane Ray.  Their meeting resulted in the summer hit Lockdown.

Pressure followed and it was later remixed and given a visual treatment with Dancehall legend Buju Banton.  Koffee also dropped in on Protoje‘s In Search Of Lost Time single, Switch It Up.

There is speculation that her new album could feature Nigerian singer Burna Boy. The pair were spotted in a studio in February last year.

While the sensational singer is sitting out this year’s Grammy Awards, she did pick up two nominations for Outstanding International Song at the NAACP Image Awards.
