Jamaican recording artist Jada Kingdom has announced the release of her highly anticipated EP, Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World, slated to drop on January 21, 2026.
The project follows a breakout 2025 for the singer and songwriter and positions her as one of the most distinctive and influential voices shaping contemporary Caribbean and global music.
Throughout 2025, Jada maintained strong momentum across music, media and live performance circuits. She released a run of standout singles, including “Can’t Tell Me That,” “Only You,” and the viral hit “G.A.D.” The latter gained rapid international traction following an in-studio performance on On The Radar, surpassing one million views across Instagram and TikTok within days of its release.
Released on March 21, 2025, “G.A.D.” enjoyed notable commercial success in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, peaking at number three on Apple Music’s Top 25 Kingston Chart and becoming the highest-charting song by a female artist at the time. The track also secured Top Five placements on Shazam charts in multiple territories, underscoring its regional and international reach.
Critical response to the single was equally strong. Billboard praised Jada’s ability to challenge local slang while infusing the song with a feminist perspective, while Stereogum described the track as a “2000s pop revival” with a modern edge. Additional acclaim came from HNHH, Kaboom Mag, The Star, Caribbean National Weekly, and MusicxClusives.
Jada’s live performances further cemented her growing global profile. She appeared at UBS Arena in New York in May, delivered a standout set in London at the Soak’d Pineapple x SANDZ Ultra Weekend in August, and later headlined Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Europe concert-event in Malta in September.
According to her team, Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World will explore themes of ambition, power reclamation and unapologetic self-expression. Blending dancehall, pop and R&B, the EP is expected to further solidify Jada Kingdom’s reputation as a bold, fearless artist with undeniable star power and global appeal.
