Protoje and Shenseea bring warmth and strength to Goddess video

Protoje has paired Shenseea with one of the warmest visuals in his recent run, using Goddess to frame acceptance, softness and feminine power against the open landscape of Caymanas Estate in St. Catherine. Directed by SAMO, the video keeps both artistes immersed in Jamaica’s natural setting instead of pushing a glossy city backdrop, which gives the song a stripped-back intimacy that matches its message.

The collaboration stands out because both voices fit the record’s emotional center. Shenseea called working with Protoje on Goddess a special experience and described him as someone who represents authenticity in reggae and Jamaican music. Protoje, for his part, has said Shenseea fits the song because she embodies its spirit. That chemistry is the point of the visual: Goddess is not trying to overexplain itself. It lets the pairing do the heavy lifting, with Fernando Hevia handling cinematography and Nicole Marsh leading the art department while Ayana Riviere styled Protoje and Kris Fe styled Shenseea.

The release also pushes Protoje’s next album cycle into clearer view. Goddess appears on The Art of Acceptance, his seventh studio album, due April 17 via In.Digg.Nation Collective and Ineffable Records. Reggaeville lists the project as a 16-track set and shows how deep the roll-out runs: features from Jesse Royal, Masicka, Damian Marley, Pressure Busspipe and Stephen Marley, plus vinyl-only dub versions of Big 45, Goddess and At We Feet. That scale signals a project built to land as a full statement, not just a single with momentum behind it.

Goddess was first released digitally on March 20 as a two-track package alongside At We Feet feat. Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, which makes the new video feel like the visual side of a larger launch plan. The timing also keeps Protoje tied to the wider conversation around Lost in Time Festival 2026, where he served as co-founder and conceptualizer. The festival had expanded to two days and drew a sold-out crowd at Hope Gardens in St. Andrew, giving this release a live-circuit glow that still hangs around his name. With Goddess, Protoje is leaning into tenderness without losing edge, and that may be the clearest sign yet of where this album era is headed.
