Maxi Priest released "Touch By An Angel" today on his Level Vibes Music imprint, pairing the reggae-fusion veteran with multi-Grammy Award-winning producer Paul "Jazzwad" Yebuah for a track that moves fluidly between reggae, R&B, and soul.

The single, distributed worldwide by Intercept Music, arrives with cover art drawn by Maxi himself, a deliberately handmade detail that sets the tone for how personal this project is. He put it plainly in describing the song's emotional center: "When being with someone brings a sense of completeness, like you've been touched by someone truly special, your angel."

Jazzwad's production credit carries real weight here. His track record at the top of reggae and dancehall makes this pairing one of the more compelling matchups in the genre's current release cycle, and it positions Level Vibes Music as more than a vanity imprint. Maxi launched the label alongside a recent collaboration with Sean Paul, "Feel So Alive," and "Touch By An Angel" deepens that foundation with a softer, more intimate sensibility rooted in lovers rock tradition.

The campaign is clearly built for range. The release announcement explicitly promises a series of remixes to follow, putting the single on the radar for DJs and selectors working reggae, soul, and playlist-driven club circuits alike. With Intercept handling worldwide distribution, the streaming placement strategy extends well beyond core reggae audiences.

Fans tracking Maxi's full arc will also want to note what is coming next: a live album titled "Family," being assembled with collaborators and his sons across Jamaica, the UK, and the United States. It is shaping up as an intergenerational document from one of reggae's most enduring crossover figures, whose studio history already spans work with Sly & Robbie, Donovan Germain, Livingston Brown, and the production team Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. "Touch By An Angel" is on all major streaming platforms and digital retailers now.
