Rising UK Pop/R&B star Morgan is lighting up the airwaves with her boldest release yet, a sizzling double drop that includes her brand-new single “One Man” featuring Jamaican dancehall legend Beenie Man.
The tracks, released via Red Bull Records, mark a vibrant and culturally rooted moment for the half-Jamaican singer, as she steps into her Caribbean heritage with fresh energy and full confidence.
“One Man” is a high-powered reimagining of Beenie Man’s iconic 2004 anthem “Dude”, blending nostalgic dancehall vibes with Morgan’s modern pop sensibility. With Beenie Man himself jumping on the track, the collaboration becomes a cross-generational, cross-Atlantic celebration of a nostalgic hit.
Accompanied by a music video shot on location in Jamaica, the single represents a bold new chapter for Morgan, who continues to assert her identity as an artist without borders. “ ‘One Man’ is one of those songs that just makes me feel free,” Morgan shared. “It’s inspired by my Jamaican heritage, but it doesn’t tie itself to one lane or genre. It just feels like a pure Morgan song, what I create doesn’t have to fit into any boxes. We had so much fun making this one, sampling one of the most iconic dancehall songs, to then have the artist of that song wanting to jump on my take. You can’t get more legendary than Beenie Man. It’s a pinch-me moment, and I’m gassed for everyone to hear it.”
Also included in the release is “Bad Gyal Energy”, a no-holds-barred club anthem made to get waistlines moving. With a bold, underground dancehall flair, the track will get a special spotlight at the upcoming Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals in Los Angeles this October, where Morgan is set to perform live. Adding a deeply personal layer to the track, Morgan revealed she got her father, Jeffrey Smith, a former MC, producer, and sound system artist, involved in the creative process. “He’s played a big part in my musical upbringing, and I’m obsessed that we could do this together. Big up Jeffrey Smith!” she said.
The double release caps a full year for Morgan. Her debut EP Emotional Gangster dropped in late 2024, leading to a sold-out UK headline tour that included a landmark show at London’s legendary Jazz Café. Earlier this year, she released the breezy R&B/pop jam “My My My”, a sun-soaked love song.
With over 100 million global streams and collaborations with a wide range of artists, from Rudimental and Anne-Marie to Byron Messia and even K-pop star Jaehyun of NCT, Morgan has proven herself to be one of the UK’s most versatile and exciting breakout acts.
Now, with “One Man” and “Bad Gyal Energy,” Morgan continues her ascent, bringing her Caribbean roots and her musical pedigree to the forefront.
