Jaz Elise returns with Move Mountain, a roots reggae anthem of resilience

After more than a year without new music, Jaz Elise has returned with Move Mountain, a release that lands as a clear reset rather than just another single drop. Romeich Entertainment and ONErpm put the track out on May 1, 2026, after it first premiered Thursday evening on Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio on SiriusXM, giving the song an early push inside the reggae lane before it reached streaming platforms.

Move Mountain sits on the Love Echoes Riddim, produced by Slyda Di Wizard, and the production gives Jaz Elise a roots-heavy frame that suits the song’s message. Her focus here is reflection, resilience and personal growth, with the single reading as a look back at the road she has traveled and the pressure she has had to move through. That makes the record feel personal and direct, not just stylish, and it gives her comeback real emotional weight.

The rollout also leaned on place. Fresh visuals were filmed at several picturesque locations across Jamaica, anchoring the single in the island’s landscape and reinforcing the grounded feel of the track. That choice matters in reggae, where image, riddim and setting often work together to shape how a song is received. Move Mountain arrives as part of that full package, with a visual presentation that matches the song’s message of endurance.

Jaz Elise described the song as a reflection on her personal journey, resilience through both uplifting and challenging moments, and faith in her ability to overcome whatever stands in the way. That mindset fits the moment she is in now. Born Jasmine Taylor in Kingston, she was brought forward through Protoje’s In.Digg.Nation Collective and first entered the music arena in 2018 with Forever Guide on Upsetta Records’ Love Vibration riddim. Since then, her catalog has included Rice & Peas in 2023 and singles such as Faith, Gunman and Unforgetable.

Her return also carries measurable momentum. The Golden Hour, her debut EP released in 2021, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard US Current Reggae Albums Chart, proof that her audience has already responded to her blend of reggae, R&B, soul and dancehall. With Move Mountain, Jaz Elise is stepping back into that space with a more roots-centered sound and a clearer statement of purpose, supported by a riddim rollout that gives the single both market reach and cultural weight.
