Chronixx announces new album ‘Exile’: A 17-track return

After nearly eight years, reggae star Chronixx is set to make a powerful return. On October 10, 2025, the artist will release his long-awaited new album, Exile—coincidentally on his 33rd birthday—under the Forever Living Originals label, founded by producer Dean Josiah Cover, better known as Inflo. Exile marks Chronixx’s first full-length project since his Grammy-nominated album Chronology in 2017.

Recent social media posts from the artist have given fans a clearer picture of what’s to come. Exile will feature 17 tracks, each showcasing Chronixx’s signature blend of conscious lyricism, roots reggae, and a forward-looking vision. The full tracklist includes:

Exile, Market, Sweet Argument, Survivor, Family First, I Know What You Feeling, Savior, Keep On Rising, Hurricane, Genesis, Don’t Be Afraid, I and I, Never Give Up, Pain in Your Heart, Resilient, Scheming, and Love Is on the Mountain.

One track, Don’t Be Afraid, has already been previewed in live performances and is expected to serve as an emotional touchstone for the project. Meanwhile, Love Is on the Mountain—currently available via chronixx.com—has earned strong praise from fans and industry insiders alike.

Chronology, released in 2017, was a defining moment in Chronixx’s career. It earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album at the 60th Grammy Awards and topped the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart that same year. In the years since, Chronixx has released a string of singles that kept his catalog current, even without a full album.

Tracks like Skankin’ Sweet, Smile Jamaica, and Who Knows (with Protoje) continue to rack up streams and remain staples of his repertoire, reinforcing his standing as one of reggae’s most consistent modern voices.

With Exile, Chronixx appears ready to explore both continuity and evolution. The title evokes ideas of displacement, separation, spiritual wandering, and social critique—suggesting a deeply introspective project. Having kept a relatively low profile in recent years, Exile marks his first major musical statement in nearly a decade.

If the tracklist is any indication, fans of roots reggae, conscious songwriting, and spiritually charged music have much to look forward to. Set for release under Forever Living Originals, Exile signals a new era for Chronixx—one that arrives with high expectations.

As the October 10 release date approaches, anticipation continues to build. How the album will perform on global reggae charts, how it will resonate with diaspora audiences, and which songs will emerge as standout hits remain to be seen. But if history is any guide, Chronixx’s artistry—and his unyielding commitment to message and melody—suggest he’s ready to deliver once again.
