Etana releases uplifting new single Sunshine on Big Feet Records

Etana kept her 2026 run moving at a brisk pace with Sunshine, a new single that arrived on May 15 through Big Feet Records and paired her with producer Josh Harris. The release also surfaced across Reggaeville’s video and audio listings that same day, giving the song immediate visibility inside reggae’s digital release cycle and marking it as a fresh current push, not a catalogue pull.

The track was framed as a warm, uplifting reggae collaboration built around lovers rock, soulful melodies and positive energy. That positioning matters because Sunshine sits squarely in the lane Etana has long occupied, where melodic polish and positive uplift meet roots sensibility. Even the title does a lot of the work on its own: Sunshine signals brightness, ease and emotional lift, the kind of song meant to land cleanly with listeners looking for something restorative rather than confrontational.

Etana’s own official profile adds further weight to the release. Born Shauna McKenzie, she is identified there as a two-time Grammy-nominated reggae artist, with milestone albums including Reggae Forever from 2018 and Pamoja from 2021. That background gives Sunshine more than a standalone release date. It places the single inside an established career arc built on consistency, recognition and a steady presence in modern reggae.

The timing also fits the pattern of an especially active year. RastaRespect’s 2026 release trail already shows Etana issuing I Shot the Sheriff on February 28 and The Ganja Collection in April, before Sunshine landed in mid-May. Taken together, those titles show an artist keeping a tight release rhythm and staying visible across multiple lanes, from reinterpretation to collection-building to a new single designed for immediate circulation.

Sunshine therefore reads as more than another one-off drop. With Big Feet Records behind it, Josh Harris at the controls and Reggaeville carrying it through its release listings, the single reinforced Etana’s momentum while sharpening the question of where her 2026 run is headed next.
