Jamaican reggae powerhouse Protoje is hitting the ground running in 2026, and Billboard can exclusively announce that his new album, The Art of Acceptance, will arrive this spring via In.Digg.Nation Collective and Ineffable Records.
Protoje’s latest LP will serve as the official follow-up to 2022’s Third Time’s the Charm, which earned him his second Grammy nomination for best reggae album. Driven by his trademark conscious lyricism and appreciation for the genre’s classic periods, The Art of Acceptance will include the previously shared tracks “Big 45” and “Feel It,” as well as a new collaboration with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley titled “At We Feet.”
Now available to stream on all platforms, “At We Feet” marks the very first collaboration between the two superstars and serves as the official lead single for The Art of Acceptance. “Whatever we need, Jah put a we feet,” Protoje croons in the refrain, bridging roots reggae with more contemporary production flourishes. In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, which became the strongest storm to strike Jamaica in the island’s history in October, the steadfast, faith-driven lyrics of “At We Feet” are especially poignant. The new single also arrives alongside a SAMO-directed music video, which was shot between Kingston and Miami.
“‘At We Feet’ is about faith, surrender, and trust, knowing that when you move with love and positivity, provision comes, even in hard times,” the St. Elizabeth native explained. “It’s a reminder that beyond our plans, there’s a greater design unfolding.”
To support The Art of Acceptance, Protoje will embark on an international tour beginning with a performance at Florida’s Reggae Rise Up Fest on March 14. The European leg of the trek will kick off on March 19 at De Roma in Antwerp, Belgium, visiting major cities including Paris and Zurich before concluding with three shows in the U.K. Protoje will then head to the States for the tour’s American leg, which includes a special Stephen Marley-assisted show at Houston’s House of Blues on April 22.
Although it’s been a few years since Protoje’s last full-length album, the acclaimed singer-producer has remained busy, lending his talents to several tracks on Lila Iké’s gorgeous album Treasure Self Love. Billboard named his protégé’s debut LP the No. 3 Best Caribbean Album of 2025, and the set will compete in the best reggae album category at February’s Grammys.
