Jamaican reggae-soul singer Christopher Martin is set to release a new single, “Don’t Have to Ask,” on February 14, 2026, marking the latest collaboration between Scikron Entertainment – Big Yard Music.
The track, described as delivering a classic “sugah reggae” sound, has already generated anticipation among fans following a sneak preview shared on Instagram. In the post, Martin referred to the upcoming release as having that signature “sugar reggae” feeling, a sound he has long associated with his musical identity.
The partnership between the production teams and Martin has produced a string of successful releases over the years, including “Guarantee,” “You’ll Never Find,” and “Indecisive.” Their latest effort, Don’t Have to Ask, continues that tradition with a blend of classic reggae instrumentation, smooth melodies and a romantic narrative layered over the “Happy Wife” rhythm.
The song tells a relatable love story, with Martin openly expressing devotion and appreciation for the woman he considers the love of his life. Through vulnerable lyrics and a warm delivery, the track celebrates the emotional depth of loving a woman and underscores the singer’s longstanding focus on romance within reggae music.
While some observers credit Martin with helping to shape the evolution of lovers’ rock and modern reggae, the artist has defined his own musical journey differently. “I am sugah reggae and that has always been my moniker for my evolution, sweet sugah reggae,” he said when asked about his role in the genre.
“Don’t Have to Ask” will be the first single released from the forthcoming Happy Wife album, produced by Big Yard Music and scheduled for full release on February 21, 2025. The project features contributions from several artists, including Lutan Fyah, Jahzeal, Rude Link, Shawn Antione, Akeen Fennel and Thrilla Rush, each offering perspectives on love and relationships.
Throughout his career, Martin has consistently used his music to promote appreciation and respect for women, often emphasizing emotional connection over purely sensual themes. The new single continues that approach, featuring lyrics such as “You don’t have to ask me if I love you, I do, I do.”
With its romantic theme and melodic tone, the track is expected to resonate with listeners seeking heartfelt reggae and may find a place in weddings, proposals and other celebrations of love.
