Reggae-dancehall star Capleton is pleased with the response to his latest single, “Prayers Up” featuring Derrick Sound. The song, produced by Evidence Music, is available for streaming now on all major streaming platforms.
“Jamaica is a spiritual nation so we ah just continue to burn the fire, we will always defend equal rights and justice, and wherever there is corruption, we ah go stamp it out, Babylon knows that ah bear fabrication when dem stipulate dem laws, so that’s why we say ‘Prayers Up’,” Capleton said.
The track is the second single from the upcoming album “Heights Of Fire,” scheduled to drop on June 26, 2026. The single has been added to curated playlists at YouTube Music (#41), and added to curated Apple music playlists like Crucial Roots at #4, the WorldWide Riddim (#13) and NMD.
The album, which is produced by the indie label Evidence Music, brings together a strong international cast, including Damian Marley, Stephen Marley and Eesah, alongside top-tier producers such as Derrick Sound, Little Lion Sound, Mista Savona, Mixing Finga and L’Entourloop.
“The momentum is clearly building and the response from audiences has been extremely encouraging so far,” producer Derrick Maître, chief executive officer of Evidence Music, said.
Other singles coming up include Jah Shine His Light (May 22), Behave Yourself (June 5), Highway Robbers (June 19th) and ‘Babylon So Evil’ featuring Damian and Stephen Marley (June 26).
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 spawned hits like “Jah Jah City” and “Who Dem?”. Capleton was previously nominated for a Reggae Grammy in 2002 with ‘Still Blazing’.
With ‘Heights of Fire’, he is re-energising his vast fan base across the world. Rooted in authentic reggae foundations while embracing modern textures, the album blends reggae with subtle hip-hop influences.
Lyrically, Capleton stands firm in his message, delivering themes of spirituality, resistance, justice and righteousness with unmatched conviction. This is not reinvention, it’s refinement at the highest level.
