Sharon Marley to Premiere New Single “Island” This Friday
For Immediate Release Kingston Jamaica March 4, 2026 Reggae singer-songwriter and three-time Grammy Award winner Sharon Marley, daughter of the legendary Bob and Rita Marley, will release her highly anticipated new single, “Island,” this Friday, March 6, 2026.
The track, featuring Sharon alongside her sister Cedella Marley and Rica Newell, former members of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, is the second single from her debut solo album, “Firebird,” set to drop March 20, 2026.
“Island” is a roots-driven reggae anthem celebrating unity, womanhood, and love for Jamaica. Set against a resounding drum-and-bass rhythm, Sharon’s lyrics transport listeners to idyllic days of swimming, enjoying roots wine, and basking in the warmth of island life. The collaboration with Cedella Marley and Rica Newell adds multi-generational depth, bridging Sharon’s own artistic voice with the heritage of the Marley musical legacy.
In keeping with Sharon’s commitment to giving back, all streaming proceeds from “Island” will be donated to Humanity Ova Vanity (HOV), a Canadian-based organization that provides emergency relief, housing stabilization, and long-term community support in underserved and disaster-affected areas of
Jamaica. HOV is currently advancing the Petersfield Community Resilience Hub, a locally driven project offering transitional housing, safe child spaces, and essential social and medical services for families displaced by Hurricane Melissa.
“Island” follows Sharon’s first single from the “Firebird” album, “Steppah,” featuring reggae legend Big Youth, which evokes the golden era of Jamaican rub-a-dub dancehall with its heavy bass-and-drum groove. The forthcoming album, produced by Leroy Romans, spans eleven tracks fusing classic reggae rhythms, soulful storytelling, and the healing vibrations of 432 Hz. Sharon describes “Firebird” as a deeply personal work celebrating resilience, empowerment, and transformation, paying tribute to the Marley legacy while establishing her own path as a solo artist.
