Dollarman’s New Single “Where Did Time Go” Drops On May 1st

Fans and supporters of international recording artist Dollarman will only have to wait a few more days for new music from the Grenadian born Brooklyn grown chanter, songwriter, and producer. He and his team have announced that on May 1st, he will release a new single titled “Where Did Time Go.”

As the title suggests, “Where Did Time Go” reflects on the swift passage of time, prompting listeners to contemplate its fleeting nature. Dollarman skillfully intertwines themes of time’s preciousness with insights drawn from his own personal experiences. This introspective approach is expected to resonate deeply with audiences.

Anticipation for this release is heightened by the success of Dollarman‘s previous singles, “We Belong” and “So Tired,” both of which were also co-produced by Bernard ‘IOBI’Joseph. Given IOBI‘s pivotal role in the production of these earlier tracks, there is considerable expectation that this new record will garner similar acclaim.

Dollarman has conveyed his enthusiasm for this upcoming release, inviting fans to mark their calendars for May 1st, 2025. The combination of poignant lyrics and engaging production promises to make “Where Did Time Go” a noteworthy addition to his discography.

Winston Irie’s “Unto Thee O’Lord” Now Trending

Throughout Winston Irie‘s extensive and notable career, two key elements have remained constant: 1) the exceptional quality of his songs. Each track is excellently produced, with meticulous writing and flawless performance. 2) His music often reflects a spiritual nature, drawing from his beliefs as an Ethiopian Orthodox, which is evident in nearly all his recordings.

Winston‘s newest single, “Unto Thee O’Lord,” released at the end of January 2025 through Bernard ‘IOBI’ Joseph‘s 4/20 Records, exemplifies these qualities. This inspiring reggae tune seamlessly blends elements of ska and gospel, earning it recognition not only on reggae platforms but also on Christian broadcast channels.

“Unto Thee O’Lord” is essentially a hymn of praise and worship. It has achieved significant success in the Tri-state area, securing a spot on The Foundation Radio Network Chart. As of this writing (on April 27, 2025), it is sitting at number 9. Additionally, “Unto Thee O’Lord” is featured on several other music charts, spanning both reggae and gospel genres.
