KA$E, Loud City, Coyote Island, and Conkarah Unite on Warm Reggae Single

The artist behind "Banana," the reggae-pop cover that crossed 1 billion combined global streams alongside Shaggy, just added a new collaboration to his catalogue. Conkarah, born Nicholas Murray in Kingston, Jamaica, joined KA$E, Coyote Island, and producer collective Loud City on "Early Night," a roots reggae and lovers rock single released March 27, 2026, on Ineffable Records, Billboard's top independent label in the reggae genre.

The track is a cross-Atlantic build with each contributor pulling in a distinct direction. KA$E, a rising Jamaican artist who previously paired with Loud City on "By Any Mean$" alongside Grammy-nominated Jesse Royal, brings conscious lyrics and a melodic cadence rooted in heavy riddim production. Coyote Island supplies the breezy, coastal indie-pop textures that give "Early Night" its wider sonic reach, pulling the track toward listeners who discover reggae through mood playlists rather than specialist channels. Conkarah holds down the roots credibility, his lover's rock instincts, sharpened across charting projects including the 2015 "Don't Kill My Love" EP and a 2017 follow-up featuring Beenie Man, keeping the single honest to its genre.

Genre-catalogued under Roots Reggae / Lovers Rock / One Drop, "Early Night" is lyrically built around intimacy and stillness: the desire to slow down, stay present, and be with someone. The production palette serves that mood without forcing it. It is the kind of single that earns playlist placement by feel rather than by tempo.

That positioning maps directly onto the playlist-to-festival pipeline that currently drives discovery in modern reggae. Beach bars, Sunday-session venue programmers, and college-town reggae nights are the natural first adopters; from there, a Conkarah name tag on a festival lineup announcement carries its own promotional weight. Ineffable Records, which advocates for artist ownership and focuses heavily on playlist pitching and release amplification across its roster, is well-suited to push the single through exactly that circuit.

"Early Night" is available now across major streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Given how Conkarah's team extended "Banana" through a full remix EP featuring international DJs including Dave Audé and New Zealand's DJ FLe, the multi-artist architecture of this release leaves the door open for a second wave if the original gains traction.
