Reggae icon Capleton is preparing to blaze a new trail in music once again with the release of his long-awaited new album, Heights of Fire, set to drop on June 26 via Evidence Music.
The upcoming project marks Capleton’s first full-length album in 16 years, making it one of the most anticipated reggae releases of 2026. Known globally for his fiery stage presence, conscious lyrics, and unwavering Rastafarian message, the veteran deejay has remained a powerful force in reggae culture despite the lengthy gap between studio albums. His last project, I-Ternal Fire, was released in 2010.
According to information shared by the artist via his official website, Heights of Fire will be available digitally, as well as on vinyl, CD, and cassette, offering something for both modern listeners and collectors of physical music. The album reportedly features a dynamic lineup of collaborators, including Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, Eesah, Derrick Sound, Little Lion Sound, Mista Savona, Mixing Finga, and L’Entourloop.
The first taste of the project arrived on Friday with the release of the lead single and music video, “Red Again,” featuring Derrick Sound and Little Lion Sound. Benefiting from a strong premiere, the “Red Again” music video landed just shy of 100,000 YouTube views in two days. The track has already generated excitement among fans eager to hear fresh material from the “Fire Man,” whose catalogue includes classics such as “That Day Will Come,” “Jah Jah City,” and “Who Dem.”
While anticipation builds for the album, Capleton has shown no signs of slowing down on the live circuit. The reggae veteran continues to maintain a busy touring schedule, with performances lined up across the United States and the Caribbean. Upcoming stops include New Jersey, Connecticut, Martinique, Miami, Massachusetts, and Guyana.
Among the major dates on his calendar is an appearance at the popular Best of the Best concert in Miami on May 24, where he is expected to share the stage with some of the Caribbean’s biggest stars.
With Heights of Fire, Capleton appears ready to remind the world why he remains one of reggae’s most commanding voices. Sixteen years after his last album, the fire is still burning strong.
