Jamaican genre-blender Projexx is back with a brand new single, and he’s bringing the heat and the bass to the dancefloor. His latest release, “Twerk,” is a hypnotic, high-energy anthem that effortlessly marries dancehall with a global flair. It’s the first taste of what fans can expect from his highly anticipated Her EP, due out later this month.
Produced by 1Mind, Joe Stanley, and Julias Noah Maria Herold, “Twerk” is a club banger. It’s an intentional ode to feminine power, sensuality, and confidence. Built on pulsing rhythms and flirty lyricism, the track repositions feminine energy at the centre. It’s a record for the women who move with purpose and dance without apology.
“The song’s for the gyal dem, plain and simple,” says Projexx. “It’s fun, it’s gritty, and it’s for the women who run the space they step into. This whole EP is about capturing different shades of feminine energy, not just love songs, but real-life expressions too.”
Many first encountered his silky vocals on “True Love”, the standout track from Wizkid’s Made in Lagos album featuring Tay Iwar, which introduced his unique style to global audiences and earned him critical acclaim. Since then, the Kingston-born artist has steadily carved out his own lane, collaborating with major acts including Skillibeng, Ruger, and Jesse Royal while steadily building a catalogue that reflects both emotional range and lyrical edge.
His last singles, June’s introspective “Exhale” and the summer-ready collab “Girl It’s You” with Jahmiel, hinted at a more melodic direction. But “Twerk” is a full-bodied pivot into rhythm-first sensuality. Together, these records lay the emotional and sonic groundwork for his project Her EP.
As the grandson of dub pioneer King Jammy and son of producer John John, he was raised on the sound systems and studio sessions that helped mold Jamaican music. That lineage fuels his innovation.
“I’m inspired by where I come from, but I also want to show what’s next,” he says. “Dancehall can be hard, it can be soft, it can be global, it’s not one-dimensional.”
With over 14 million streams under his belt and standout projects like Queen Hill and GRIM TAPE VOL. II, Projexx is set to surge.
