PROTOJE DELIVERS A SENSUAL ESCAPE WITH HIS NEW
SUMMER GROOVE “FEEL IT” OUT TODAY (LISTEN | WATCH)
On Heels of COLORS x STUDIOS Performance
Summer Festival Tour
2x Grammy-nominated Jamaican reggae artist Protoje unveils his latest single, “Feel It,” today, a lush, sensual track produced by The Indiggnation and longtime collaborator Winta James (the sonic mind behind Protoje’s “Who Knows” ft. Chronixx and “Switch It Up” ft. Koffee). A shimmering fusion of reggae, soul, and jazz, “Feel It” showcases Protoje’s softer side, leaning into themes of romance and connection while riding a breezy summer groove perfect for long days and warm nights. Out now with an accompanying video directed by Samo, “Feel It” is a sonic escape built for the season from an artist who has mastered the art of modernizing reggae without losing its essence.
“With Feel It, I wanted to inspire movement. I wanted to give the woman dem something to move to — inna reggae style — a nice tempo, something you can hold a vibe to. A song that brings people closer and gives off that light, airy feeling for summer,” says Protoje.
While “Feel It” ushers in a fresh wave of warmth, Protoje’s latest single “Big 45” continues its momentum. The track recently earned a COLORS x STUDIOS performance this week, with Protoje’s commanding delivery drawing acclaim. Its official video hit #1 on Jamaica’s YouTube chart in April and has since amassed over 3 million views, cementing its place as a standout anthem in his catalog.
Protoje is also in the midst of a major international tour this summer, with festival appearances across North America and Europe, including Reggae Sumfest (Jamaica), Levitate Music Festival (U.S.), Monegros Desert Festival (Spain), and Reggae Geel (Belgium)—continuing into early 2026 with stops across France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
