Lisa Simone working on reggae album with Jah Screw

Singer Lisa Simone is deep in the production process for her third album, a venture into the reggae genre guided by renowned producer Paul “Jah Screw” Love. Simone, who resides in South Florida, met Love in late 2025, and they have since completed several recordings for the project, which is slated for release in 2027.

We’re well into the production process. We’ve completed several recordings and we’re fine-tuning the songs to make sure every detail is right.

"We're well into the production process. We’ve completed several recordings and we’re fine-tuning the songs to make sure every detail is right," Simone shared. "We believe in taking our time so that when the music reaches the listeners, it represents the best of what we can offer." This reggae album marks a distinct departure from her previous work, "I Trust You," a gospel collection released last year and produced by her husband, Damian Orlando.

Jah Screw, celebrated for his work with artists like Barrington Levy, brings a wealth of experience to the project. He began his career in the 1970s on sound systems in Greenwich Farm, Jamaica, and transitioned to music production in the early 1980s. His production credits include Levy's notable songs such as "Under Mi Sensi," "Here I Come," and "Living Dangerously" with Bounty Killer.

I love reggae because it’s my foundation, but I also enjoy gospel, lovers rock, R&B, soul, and inspirational music. Every genre allows me to express a different side of myself as an artiste.

Simone, originally from St. Thomas, Jamaica, feels a strong connection to reggae music, describing it as her foundation. However, she embraces a diverse musical palette, also enjoying gospel, lovers rock, R&B, soul, and inspirational music. "Every genre allows me to express a different side of myself as an artiste," she explained. "As long as the song has substance and connects with people, I’m open to exploring different styles while staying true to who I am."
