With a Spring tour across Europe and North America already locked in, Protoje has confirmed April 17th as the official release date for his seventh studio album, The Art of Acceptance, unveiling the cover art and 13-track listing in a calculated global rollout. The announcement, powered by the early success of “At We Feet” featuring Damian Marley, positions the Jamaican reggae heavyweight for a season that blends introspection, star power and international reach.
Revealed via Instagram alongside the project’s official trailer, The Art of Acceptance has been three years in the making. “The Art of Acceptance isn’t just about peace, it’s about the raw, sometimes painful work of facing yourself fully,” Protoje wrote, describing the album as a balance between innovation and homage to reggae’s roots. Produced in collaboration with longtime creative partner Winta James, the set boasts heavyweight contributions from Damian and Stephen Marley, Shenseea and Masicka, with special appearances from Jesse Royal and Pressure Buss Pipe. Lead single “At We Feet” has already surpassed three million views within weeks of release, marking Protoje’s first collaboration with Damian Marley and signalling strong digital traction ahead of album launch.
Meanwhile, the album announcement dovetails seamlessly with Protoje’s 2026 European and U.S. tour dates. Kicking off in Antwerp on 19 March, the run includes stops in Paris, Amsterdam and London before crossing into North America for festival slots and a Houston show alongside Stephen Marley. The live shows promise a spiritual, reflective experience rooted in the same themes of unity and self-examination that shape the new project.
Back home, anticipation continues to build around his Lost In Time Festival, now expanded into a two-day affair set for 28 February and 1 March, headlined by Chronixx, Lila Iké and Jesse Royal. As pre-orders go live and tour tickets move, Protoje’s next chapter feels less like a standard album cycle and more like a carefully curated global statement for contemporary reggae.
