Reggae Singer Alaine Shares Love Again

Chat to me!

She walked away from JP Morgan, a stable paycheck, and the “safe” life to bet on reggae music and built a strong catalog of reggae love songs that continue to find new fans across the globe. We’re joined by singer-songwriter Alaine, and we get into what longevity really looks like when your career is powered by faith, craft, and a refusal to fake it for clout.

We go behind the scenes of her single “Love Again” on the No Better Riddim, produced by Damian “Jr Gong” Marley. Alaine shares the moment she got the WhatsApp invite to be on the riddim and the sting of hearing her first song she wrote wasn’t working. Hearing how she regrouped, found inspiration, and rewrote the song into the version that landed is a valuable lesson in taking feedback to improve. We also touch on sharing the juggling with Jemere Morgan and Pressure, plus a fun and honest turn into relationship green flags, red flags, respect, and the kind of self-forgiveness it takes to be ready to love again.We talk about evolving over 20 plus years in the reggae industry, meeting the best and worst kinds of people, and learning how to protect your voice while still staying open. Alaine breaks down why intention matters more than virality, how she chooses projects, and what authenticity means when the internet is always asking artists to perform a persona.
