Rastafarian reggae artist Sizzla Kalonji, who gained prominence in the mid-1990s after collaborating with Philip “Fatis” Burrell and his Xterminator crew, has released a new lovers-rock song titled “So In Love.” Anyone who has followed Sizzla‘s career knows that while his songs are typically motivational, socially conscious, or faith-based, he occasionally creates music for a female audience. Therefore, there is nothing unusual about a brand-new love song from the man regarded as one of the most commercially and critically successful contemporary reggae artists of this era.

What has surprised some of Sizzla‘s fans, followers, and even critics, however, is the official video for “So In Love.” Shot in St. Lucia, the visual presents a side of Sizzla Kalonji that many have never seen before. In an effort to effectively convey the emotions expressed in the song, Sizzla portrays a man who is enamored with his love interest, a role played by the beautiful and vivacious model Naomi St. Remy. The two are depicted in several intimate scenes, showcasing a softer side of Sizzla that is unfamiliar to his audience.

“So In Love” was released on June 20, 2025, by Dretegs Music Jams. It is available on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, Amazon Music, Tidal, and all other streaming platforms. The official video can be viewed on Sizzla Kalonji‘s YouTube channel.
