Regal and radiant, Jah9 delves into an introspective sonic journey that enlightens its listeners along the way. ‘Note to Self’ is her third studio album due for release on March 13, 2020, on VP Records. As one of the leading forces in ontemporary Jamaican music, the multi-talented artist and yogi blends her signature ‘jazz on dub’ with reggae, soul and afrobeat funk into a rich warm concoction that celebrates self-care and love through Jah9’s lens of clarity and strength. Following her previous albums New Name (2013) and 9 (2016), the 15 track release is co-produced entirely by Jah9 featuring Jamaica’s top producers and musicians, including Clive Hunt (Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Peter Tosh, Maxi Priest), Jeremy Harding (Sean Paul), Romario ‘Runkus’ Bennett, Iotosh Pyser and Romaine Arnett for Zinc Fence Records. Building a foundation for each of Jah9’s projects, Chris Chin, CEO of VP Records says, “We’ve been fortunate to play a part in the development of such a unique and gifted artist.” “With Note To Self she really brings a new level of artistry to reggae,” adds the record label executive.
