Popcaan Shares His Latest Album “Great Is He”

by

Popcaan’s starting the year off on the right foot with the release of his latest project, Great Is He.

The Jamaican star’s new project marks his third release under the OVO banner since signing to the label in 2016. This time, he delivers a strong 17-song effort that boasts appearances from Drake, Burna Boy, Toni-Ann Singh, and Chronic Law.

Great Is He includes several previously released singles, such as “Skeleton Cartier,” “Set It,” “Next To Me” featuring Toni-Ann Singh, and the Drake-assisted, “We Caa Done,” which accompanied the album announcement.

Though he’s already one of the leading artists of the genre, Popcaan’s new album could kick off a new chapter in his career. Despite the worldwide acclaim and a wide fanbase in the U.S., Popcaan has yet to travel to America. However, with the release of Great Is He, it seems that he’s looking to finally tread across the U.S.A. in the near future.

“Why they let me into everywhere except America?? something not right!!! Well i would like to see what America look like,” he wrote on Twitter. “Let’s start the 1st time in America campaign today!!! #GIHE Go!”

Popcaan’s new album comes nearly three years after the release of his last solo project, FIXTAPE. However, he later joined forces with OVO affiliate, Preme, for their joint project, Link Up.

Popcaan Debuts Title Track Off Of Upcoming Album “Great Is He”

by

Popcaan slid through with the second single off of his upcoming body of work, Great Is He.

The dancehall star shared his new single, “Great Is He,” the title track off of his upcoming album, on Friday morning. Popcaan blessed fans with a slow-burning record with uplifting and motivational undertones. In a sense, it’s reminiscent of “Hold On” off of 2014’s Where We Come From.

The latest single from Popcaan comes shortly after releasing “We Caa Done” ft. Drake. The two artists reconnected for a strong lead single that’s bound to have the summer on lock.

This morning, the dancehall star finally revealed the release date for the project. Popcaan’s new album will drop next Friday, Jan. 27th. Great Is He marks Popcaan’s first official project since 2020’s Fixtape, his third release under OVO Sound.

The Drake-led label is particularly busy today. Along with the release of Popcaan’s new single, OVO announced the signing of Naomi Sharon — the first woman ever signed to the label. The Dutch/Caribbean debuted two new singles this morning, “Another Life” and “Celestial,” via OVO Sound.

“I been waiting for this day for too long now where the world finally gets to digest the insane amount of work you have put in since we met. My dear friend just dropped her single Another Life on OVO SOUND,” Drake wrote on Instagram this morning.
