Rastafarian firebrand star Capleton is excited about the release of his upcoming album, Heights of Fire, an album title that he says is synonymous with his “relentless, fiery spirit”.
“This album reflects my vision of the world and the changes occurring around us. I aspire to offer listeners a source of inspiration and uplifting music that will guide them through life’s challenges, instilling hope for brighter days ahead and reinforcing the message that crime is not the answer,” Capleton said.
The album, which is produced by the indie label Evidence Music, features collaborations with legends such as Dennis Brown, Stephen Marley, and Junior Gong. Capleton praised the work of his studio engineer, Mixing Finger, who worked tirelessly on the album to make it a reality.
“This album is my heartfelt gift to my people,” Capleton added.
He said standout songs on the project will include powerful singles such as “Behave Yourself” and “Red Again.”
Capleton energized his legion of fans with the release of the lead single and music video, “Red Again” on Friday (April 24th) featuring Derrick Sound and Little Lion Sound. With the excitement surrounding his album release, the “Red Again” music video generated 147,000 YouTube views in three days.
Capleton has released over 15 studio albums throughout his career, which began in the late 1980s. Some of his most acclaimed works include 1995’s Prophecy and 2000’s More Fire, which was nominated for a Grammy, and spawned hits like “Jah Jah City” and “Who Dem?”.
His last project, I-Ternal Fire, was released in 2010.
According to information shared by the artiste via his official website, Heights of Fire will be available digitally, as well as on vinyl, CD, and cassette, offering something for both modern listeners and collectors of physical music. The album reportedly features a dynamic lineup of collaborators, including Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, Eesah, Derrick Sound, Little Lion Sound, Mista Savona, Mixing Finga, and L’Entourloop.
The first taste of the project arrived on Friday with the release of the lead single and music video, “Red Again,” featuring Derrick Sound and Little Lion Sound. Benefiting from a strong premiere, the “Red Again” music video landed just shy of 100,000 YouTube views in two days. The track has already generated excitement among fans eager to hear fresh material from the “Fire Man,” whose catalogue includes classics such as “That Day Will Come,” “Jah Jah City,” and “Who Dem.”
While anticipation builds for the album, Capleton has shown no signs of slowing down on the live circuit. The reggae veteran continues to maintain a busy touring schedule, with performances lined up across the United States and the Caribbean. Upcoming stops include New Jersey, Connecticut, Martinique, Miami, Massachusetts, and Guyana.
Among the major dates on his calendar is an appearance at the popular Best of the Best concert in Miami on May 24, where he is expected to share the stage with some of the Caribbean’s biggest stars.
With Heights of Fire, Capleton appears ready to remind the world why he remains one of reggae’s most commanding voices. Sixteen years after his last album, the fire is still burning strong.
