Stranjah Miller premieres Coconut Chalice from new album Awake

Coconut Chalice arrived as a video premiere on Reggaeville on May 15, 2026, and it landed in good company. Reggaeville placed it among the day’s top premieres alongside Etana’s Sunshine and Marlon Asher’s Ganjaman, giving Stranjah Miller’s latest cut the kind of release-day visibility that helps a reggae song travel fast through shares, reposts, and playlists.

The track is not a loose single sitting off on its own. Coconut Chalice is track 7 on Awake, the 15-track digital album Stranjah Miller released on April 25, 2026. Reggaeville also carried a full-album audio entry for Awake that same day, which makes the May 15 video feel like part of a coordinated rollout rather than a one-time upload. That matters in reggae, where a strong visual can give a roots tune a second life after the first audio spin.

The run around Coconut Chalice shows a steady pace from Stranjah Miller in May. Reggaeville’s videos page grouped the premiere with Night Fall on May 12, Sailing (Special Street Rockaz Dubplate) on May 10, Selassie I on May 8, and Repatriation on April 29. That kind of cluster says more than a lone release ever could. It shows an artist keeping attention moving from one visual to the next, with Awake acting as the center of gravity.

The title itself fits the lane. Coconut Chalice carries the kind of herb-culture, roots-reggae symbolism that lands immediately with listeners who value cultural identity as much as melody. Reggaeville identifies Stranjah Miller as Desmond Anthony Miller, born in Clarendon, Jamaica, on December 18, 1985, and says he moved to Kingston after school and got interested in reggae at 14. That background helps explain why his work keeps leaning into grounded, conscious imagery instead of chasing anything glossy or trend-driven.

A Jamaica Observer profile from May 9, 2026 noted that Stranjah Miller first performed in Europe in 2016 and sees Europe as his strongest market, which also helps explain why a platform like Reggaeville matters so much to this campaign. The Coconut Chalice video credits True Move International with the release, Jah Colors Production for the video, and Mixing Finger for the mix and master, with Daramus Johnson, Isha Bel, and Stranjah Miller all credited in the production chain. On a busy May release slate, Coconut Chalice did exactly what a good reggae premiere should do: it gave the song a visual identity, a clear moment, and a reason to keep moving.
