HeavyBeat Records is proud to announce the official release of a brand new single from reggae singer KashieF Lindo, titled “Where Do I Fit In (RMK).” The track dropped on Thursday, July 31st, 2025, and is now available across all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, and Pandora.

This soulful lovers-rock reggae cut finds KashieF Lindo in a moment of reflection and emotional vulnerability. The song explores the quiet unraveling of a relationship, as the artist questions where he now stands in the life of someone he still loves. There’s a noticeable shift in the energy between them, and she seems too distracted—or too distant—to make things right. It’s an honest, heartfelt performance wrapped in smooth reggae grooves.

The song is produced by legendary musician and hitmaker Willie Lindo, and written by both Willie and Kashief Lindo. The publishing is handled by Hywill Music (ASCAP).

Musicians on the track include: Paul Douglas (drums), Robbie Shakespeare (bass), Willie Lindo (guitars), and KashieF Lindo (piano, organ, keyboards, background vocals). Recording and mixing were completed at HeavyBeat Recording Studio, with engineering handled by the in-house HeavyBeat Crew.

“Where Do I Fit In” was first introduced as part of the compilation “Songs Written by Willie Lindo Vol. 8”. The newly remade and remastered version brings fresh clarity and depth to the track while preserving its original emotional core. Stream “Where Do I Fit In (RMK)” now and experience the latest chapter in the musical legacy of the Lindo family.
