Jamaican-Canadian reggae artist, Mally Bless, will be releasing his first studio album at the end of September. The record, titled In Love With Livin, will be on the Starliners Entertainment label, one of Canada’s most active reggae imprints.

Despite the fact that the Jamaican sing-jay has been doing music professionally since 2005, he intentionally delayed making an album. As he explains it: “releasing an album was always a goal of mine but it took some time for me to grow as an artist and hone my craft. I was releasing singles consistently throughout the years but ultimately creating this album was my way of giving my fans a more mature side of me, its also my chance to show my versatility.”

Mally Bless, who is a committed Rastafarian, also said that the album will be predominantly reggae, with a bit of R&B and hip-hop fused in. In Love With Livin will be out on all streaming platforms on September 29, 2022.
