Singer/songwriter Alwayne Love has officially released his long-awaited self-titled debut album, which is now available on all major streaming platforms. Originally slated for an earlier rollout, the project was ultimately released on Friday, May 1, 2026, following unforeseen delays caused by issues with distribution.

The nine-track album arrives via T25 Records Inc., the Brooklyn-based label to which Alwayne Love is signed. Notably, the project features no collaborations, allowing Love to fully establish his voice and artistic identity across a cohesive body of work.

Blending multiple genres with a reggae foundation, Alwayne Love highlights the artist’s versatility and willingness to experiment sonically. The album was produced by Mark Burke alongside co-producer Steven Ventura, with both also handling the mixing on most tracks. The exception, “Drop It Supreme”, was mixed by Shannti Cosmo, who additionally mastered the entire album.

A deeply personal project, Alwayne Love reflects significant growth for the artist. According to Love, the album captures his evolution on a personal level, while early listeners have noted that it equally demonstrates his professional development as a recording artist. Writing all nine songs himself, Love infuses each track with meaning and authenticity.

Drawing from his roots in gospel music, elements of spirituality are woven into select songs, while other tracks explore themes of love and relationships. With Alwayne Love, the artist delivers a sincere and multifaceted debut that positions him as a compelling new voice in contemporary reggae and beyond.
