International reggae artist Maxi Priest is ushering in spring with the release of his latest single, “Touch By An Angel.”
The track, which dropped April 3 across all major streaming platforms, arrives via his Level Vibes Music imprint in partnership with Intercept Music, and continues the singer’s legacy of crafting music that speaks directly to the heart.
Produced by Grammy-winning reggae and dancehall producer Paul ‘Jazzwad’ Yebuah, the single is a smooth fusion of reggae, R&B, and soul — genres Priest has effortlessly blended throughout his decades-long career. With his signature silky vocals, he leans into themes of love, peace, and emotional connection, delivering a track that feels tailor-made for lovers across the Caribbean and beyond.
“This song is about those moments when love feels effortless… like you’ve been touched by someone truly special,” Priest shared, capturing the essence of a record that is both intimate and universally relatable.
Adding to its personal touch, the cover art for “Touch By An Angel” is based on Priest’s own illustration, underscoring the emotional depth behind the project.
The release follows his recent collaboration with dancehall superstar Sean Paul on “Feel So Alive,” a track that helped introduce his Level Vibes Music imprint. Together, the releases signal renewed creative energy for Priest, reinforcing his ability to remain relevant in an ever-evolving musical landscape.
For Caribbean audiences, Maxi Priest’s name is synonymous with timeless reggae fusion hits. From Close to You to Wild World and House Call, his music has long been part of the region’s sonic fabric. Notably, he remains one of the few reggae acts to top the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist.
Over the years, Priest has collaborated with a wide cross-section of musical greats, including Beres Hammond, Roberta Flack, Shabba Ranks, and Shaggy, while sharing stages with reggae powerhouses and international acts alike. His continued presence on global festival circuits — from Glastonbury Festival to Reggae Sumfest — has cemented his reputation as one of reggae’s most enduring ambassadors.
Looking ahead, fans can expect even more from the veteran hitmaker. Priest is currently preparing his upcoming live album, Family, an intimate project that will bring together his sons, longtime collaborators, and emerging creatives from Jamaica, the UK, and the United States. The project promises a return to authentic live instrumentation, blended with contemporary influences.
Beyond the music, Priest has also been active on the humanitarian front, supporting relief efforts in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa through partnerships with organizations including the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation Relief Fund.
