Reggae singer Cashan is celebrating a strong first month for her debut album, “Here Comes Cashan”. The album, released just over a month ago, has generated positive feedback from fans, DJs, and members of the media, with several tracks emerging as favorites among reggae lovers.
According to Cashan, her fans, DJs, and the media have been impressed by her smooth transition from dancehall to reggae. “My fans, DJs and the media already know Cashan as a great artiste, but they were amused by how smoothly and effortlessly I transitioned from dancehall to reggae,” she said.
The album showcases Cashan’s versatility, blending roots reggae, contemporary sounds, and conscious themes, while featuring collaborations with some of reggae’s most respected voices. One of the biggest highlights is “Roaring Lion”, her collaboration with reggae veteran Richie Spice, which has achieved one million views on YouTube.
Another song attracting significant attention is “Changes”, featuring Yaksta, which is built around themes of social awareness and resilience. Cashan explained, “Changes is a ‘voice-for-the-voiceless’ kind of song, so I’m not surprised that so many people connect with it.”
The album is also finding an international audience, with Japan, Canada, and England emerging as the strongest overseas markets streaming the album. This reflects reggae’s enduring global appeal and the album’s growing reach beyond Jamaica.
Despite the encouraging response, Cashan remains realistic about the challenges facing independent artistes. “You don’t get certain ‘strength’ nor opportunities in this music business unless you are trending or established,” she said. While the album has strengthened her profile, she believes there is still more work to be done before larger opportunities begin to materialize.
Cashan has confirmed that another music video from the album will be released later this month, and she promises a steady stream of new music for the remainder of 2026, including a collaboration with reggae artiste Tuff Like Iron, which she describes as “a wicked collaboration”. “It’s gonna be epic,” she said.
