On September 19, 2025, Jamaican singer and songwriter Etana delivered a surprise release. Her latest project, “Dubclaat”, is a full-length dub album issued through her independent label, Freemind Music Records. The record reimagines eleven of her previously released tracks, transforming them into atmospheric, bass-driven dub mixes that highlight the timelessness of her music.

The album revisits some of Etana’s most celebrated songs, including “Spread Love,” “100 on the Highway,” and “Jah Love.” Each track is stripped down and rebuilt with the spacious echo, heavy reverb, and pulsing rhythms that define the dub tradition. In doing so, Etana not only honors her reggae foundation but also broadens her sound for audiences who embrace the meditative qualities of dub music.

Dub emerged from Jamaica in the late 1960s and 1970s as an offshoot of reggae, pioneered by studio innovators like King Tubby and Lee “Scratch” Perry. What began as experimental remixes of popular reggae tracks grew into its own art form—one that went on to influence electronic music, hip hop, and sound system culture worldwide. The style has long held a devoted following across Europe and the UK, where dub sound systems remain central to grassroots music communities.

With “Dubclaat”,Etana taps into this legacy while bringing her own artistry forward. The album offers a calming, immersive listening experience—easygoing enough for casual play yet rich with details for devoted fans of reggae and dub. For Etana, who has consistently pushed boundaries throughout her career, the project is both a return to roots and a step into fresh creative space.

“Dubclaat” is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, Amazon Music, and all major platforms.
