Reggae artist Jah9 brings a refreshing take on modern Reggae with a touch of neo-soul and R&B styling. Her latest effort "Match" is the second release from her ongoing musical series Open Heart Project and it's deep dive into the sensual arena layered with risque motifs and sultriness. Armed with her rich Patois-driven lyrics and entrancing Jamaican twang in her vocals, Jah9 explores love, feminity, and vulnerability in love when it's with the right person. From the spiritual to the physical, she dives into the intimate details of what makes her tick over J.L.L.'s ethereal soundscape. Lines like "When stress is overwhelming, you defuse it with precision/To please me is the mission in whatever position/I’m intoxicated" underscore her yearning for deep human connection and physical touch that help reinforce such connection.
Building on the success of her albums New Name (2013), 9 (2016), and Note to Self (2020), Jah9’s influence in reggae continues to grow, highlighted by her songwriting and co-production contributions to Kabaka Pyramid’s The Kalling, which won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2023.
