by Jada Kingdom follows up her recently released dancehall-infused single “Only You” with a spicy music video. The sensual clip sets a flirtatious mood for the sex-filled lyrics.
Directed by the ever-talented Djuvane Armstrong, the video feels like a golden-hour getaway, capturing Jada in her full element: confident, captivating, and effortlessly cool. With sun-kissed aesthetics, soft waves crashing in the background, and an intimate, carefree energy, “Only You” serves up pure island allure. Jada and her crew radiate bad gyal luxury, reminding us that the dancehall-R&B queen knows how to command the spotlight with minimal effort.
Jada’s latest release follows a scorching streak of hits, cementing her status as one of the most exciting artists emerging from the Caribbean. Earlier this year, she turned up the heat with “Ready,” featuring Dancehall sensation Dexta Daps, a track that became an instant street anthem. Her September single, “Somebody Else,” further demonstrated her versatility, seamlessly blending contemporary R&B vibes with her dancehall roots. Tracks like “What’s Up (Big Buddy),” “Top Tier,” and “Gen Z Jezebel” have only added fuel to her unstoppable momentum, making 2025 a defining year for the E-Syde Queen.
But Kingdom’s rise to prominence isn’t just about hit singles and streaming numbers. However, her stats are impressive, with over 90 million Spotify streams, 80 million on Apple Music, and a staggering 200 million YouTube views. Her journey from 7 Mile Bull Bay to international recognition is a testament to raw talent and unwavering determination.
Growing up in a two-bedroom home shared with her mother and siblings, Kingdom found early inspiration in the works of musical legends like Nina Simone, Diana King, Sade, Minnie Ripperton, and Amy Winehouse. Her artistic roots trace back to writing poetry at age eight, a creative outlet that would later evolve into her signature storytelling style. The 2017 release of her debut single, “Love Situations,” marked her entry into the music industry, but it was 2018’s “Banana” that truly announced her arrival on the international stage, racking up 6 million Spotify streams and 4 million YouTube views.
