Ras-I Announces Third Album Heart of Love, Out May 15, 2026

Ras-I announced on January 23, 2026 that his third studio album, Heart of Love, will be released worldwide on May 15, 2026. The 13-track project centres on love in its many forms - romantic, spiritual, ancestral and communal - and marks a clear step in his evolution as a roots-reggae voice with broader Afro-Caribbean and soul textures.

Heart of Love balances classic reggae traditions with contemporary production touches. The album’s themes are built around inner connection and community ties, positioning the record to resonate with listeners who favor conscious lyrics and warm, roots-driven riddims. The lead single 'Reggae Mountain' anchors the rollout, giving selectors and playlist curators a taste of the album’s mood and tempo.

Collaborations on the project bring established and rising names into Ras-I’s orbit. Guest appearances include Kabaka Pyramid, Govana, Khalia and Nesta, adding lyrical and vocal variety across the record’s sequence. Heart of Love follows Ras-I’s earlier albums Tsojourna, released in 2019, and Kingman, released in 2021, and continues his steady catalogue growth while widening his sonic palette.

Practical points for the Reggae community: pre-save for Heart of Love is available now on streaming platforms, so DJs and promoters can lock dates for upcoming sets and playlists. Sound-system operators and selectors will find material suited to both conscious sets and late-night soul-leaning sessions, while radio hosts can plan features around the album’s multifaceted themes. The album’s mix of roots, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and soul could also offer new options for wedding bands, community events and festival stages seeking uplifting, heart-forward material.

Ras-I has also been building momentum through recent career milestones and festival appearances, and Heart of Love arrives as those live engagements continue to expand his profile. For local promoters and booking agents, the album release offers a timely cue to touch base with Ras-I’s team for potential live dates and setlist previews as the May 15 release approaches.

Heart of Love is positioned to deepen Ras-I’s catalogue and give fans a concentrated statement about love’s many dimensions. Expect more singles and promotional activity between now and May 15, 2026, and use the pre-save window to secure tracks for upcoming shows, radio rotation and community playlists.
