Hopeton Lindo Proclaims the Power of Faith With New EP, “A Miracle”

Jamaican singer and songwriter Hopeton Lindo returns with his deeply personal six-track EP, A Miracle, a faith-centered musical testimony released through Irie Pen Records.

Inspired by a situation that he was close to where someone was battling a serious illness, A Miracle is rooted in the power of prayer and unwavering belief in God. While medical treatment was pursued, Hopeton and those around him also prayed and believed for a breakthrough — and what followed became, in his words, a miracle.

That experience became the inspiration behind A Miracle, a project that He describes as an encouragement to anyone facing difficult circumstances. His message throughout the EP is clear: never give up, pray, believe and put faith over fear.

“My faith in the Almighty is always strong, as my mantra is faith over fear.”

Completed in approximately two months, the six-track EP takes listeners on a deliberate spiritual journey. The songs are sequenced to tell a story — beginning with a prayer for a miracle, moving through belief and divine protection, arriving at the miracle itself, addressing mental health, and ultimately ending in thanksgiving and praise.

The journey begins with “A Miracle,” a heartfelt expression of prayer and hope. It is followed by “Believe,” a reminder to hold on to faith even when circumstances may suggest otherwise.

On “Cover Me,” He is joined by his son, Lindo, as the song becomes a prayer for God’s covering and protection. The story then moves into “Walking Miracle,” reflecting the joy and gratitude that comes when prayers are answered and a miracle comes true.  

Hopeton also uses the project to acknowledge the importance of mental and emotional wellbeing through “Mental Health Awareness,” featuring Anthony Malvo. For him, the inclusion of the song reflects the reality that difficult seasons can affect the mind and spirit, making awareness and encouragement an important part of the journey.

The EP closes with “Testify,” bringing the story to its natural conclusion — from asking God for a miracle to giving thanks once the miracle comes true. 

While each song carries its own significance, He says he does not have a single favorite. Every song is an original composition and holds a special place in his heart. 

With A Miracle, Hopeton Lindo hopes listeners will not only hear music, but encounter a message of faith, hope, prayer, perseverance and gratitude — a reminder that difficult circumstances do not have to be the end of the story.

Mr. Cool Explores Rastafarian Beliefs on New Single “They Don’t Want Us To Know”

Reggae singer, songwriter and producer Mr. Cool delivers a thought-provoking message with his latest single, “They Don’t Want Us To Know,” released August 17, 2026 on his own You & I Productions label. The release sees the Rastafarian artist addressing beliefs surrounding the divinity of former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, while challenging how his significance is represented within mainstream religious teachings.

As an active member of the Rastafarian community, Mr. Cool uses “They Don’t Want Us To Know” to express his perspective on the biblical references that he believes point to Haile Selassie. The song also takes aim at other religious traditions, questioning why, from his viewpoint, this interpretation of biblical scripture is not more widely acknowledged.

As with much of his musical output, Mr. Cool wrote and produced “They Don’t Want Us To Know,” maintaining complete creative involvement in the recording and its message. His commitment to the song extends beyond the studio, as he recently travelled to Jamaica to film its official music video.

Scenes for the upcoming video were shot at the popular House of Dread in Vineyard Town, a location with strong cultural and Rastafarian associations. The video is currently in the editing stage and is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Until then, “They Don’t Want Us To Know” is available to stream and download across major digital music platforms.

Kass Smith and Chuck Fenda Explore Inner Power and Unity on New Reggae Single “The Chosen Ones”

Jamaican recording artiste Kass Smith has joined forces with reggae veteran Chuck Fenda for “The Chosen Ones,” a powerful new reggae single released on September 18, 2026. Produced by renowned saxophonist and producer Dean Fraser, with Kass Smith serving as executive producer, the collaboration delivers a message centred on inner power, unity, and the spiritual mysticism within us all.

“The Chosen Ones” grew from Smith’s desire to create a song addressing emotional, physical, spiritual and financial abundance. After being introduced to Chuck Fenda through their mutual connection, Smith felt that Fenda’s distinctive voice and perspective would complement the song’s message. The collaboration subsequently developed into a recording that Smith hopes will encourage listeners to look within themselves and recognize their own potential.

The project took approximately six months to complete and involved contributors across several countries. Smith initially recorded in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with Demoy Thomas, while Chuck Fenda recorded his contribution in New Jersey, USA. The track was then reviewed and adjusted in Germany with Teacha Dee before Smith returned to Jamaica, where the recording was completed with Dean Fraser and Rommel Marshall.

Accompanying the single is an official music video that maintains a Jamaican feel while expanding the visual presentation to include elements of Latin America, Africa and other regions. The international scope of the video complements the song’s broader themes of unity and connection.

“The Chosen Ones” is now available for download and streaming on major digital streaming platforms.
