Jamaican dancehall star Konshens will release his fifth solo studio album this upcoming Friday, November 12.
During the quarantine, Konshens created over 70 new songs, with 18 of those tracks appearing on his latest album.
Konshens, real name Garfield Delano Spence, chose “Red Reign” as a title for his latest studio project as an homage to his red-haired reign over the dancehall charts in the last decade.
The story goes that years ago, Konshens lost a bet that forced him to dye his hair, and his red locks have become his signature look since. Red is also a bold color that is often associated with love, danger, and seduction.
All these ingredients are packed in Konshens’s new studio album, the Jamaican dancehall reggae star doesn’t hold back, with a new evolved intensity and sexuality in his trade.
“Red Reign” marks a new era for the Jamaican singer, showcasing an edgier sound with provocative visuals.
The unofficial “Playboy of Dancehall” blends club bangers with tracks destined to become post-pandemic classics.

The alarm has been ringing with the red-themed content and sultry scenes all over his social media platforms via the consistent release of teasers and trailers to keep his audience on red alert and eager for Konshens last studio effort “Red Reign” to drop.

The sound of the project shapes the future of dancehall with both Afrobeat and EDM contamination, pushing the limits of tradition and genre.
The latest single, “Take A Shot,” infuses hip hop and reggae to create a “bad girl anthem”, paired with a official music video that captures Konshens’ inspiration for the song.

As he explains, “Since Covid restrictions have been lifted in Florida, the club scene in Miami has had a revival. I wanted to make an anthem for women to go out with their friends and behave a little badly. It is the type of video that shows how some women behave when they think nobody is watching.”
The visual has inspired a social media challenge called the #TakeAShotChallenge, where users take a shot and then show off their dance moves, similar to the scenes shown in the video.
Since the beginning of his career Konshens has always been a leading force of his own in the music industry.
Red Reign showcases all his talent and evolution as an artist, his growth, his artistry depth and faces, and the fact that he has maintained intact the uplifting push he brought to the genre since his first steps.
The recent evolution of his sound, that is evident in “Red Reign”, rounds up his wholeness as a creator and cements his name as one of the best in the dancehall reign.
