Donna Makeda Unleashes Powerful New Single

Renowned reggae artist Donna Makeda has just dropped her highly anticipated single, ‘Pack up and Gwaan’, produced by the talented team at Selassie I Muzik. Voiced at Slamm Studio and meticulously mixed and mastered by Sam Weller, this track highlights the raw talent and creativity that Donna Makeda consistently brings to the reggae scene.

The thought-provoking lyrics, co-written by Donna Makeda and Prince Everald, paired with striking cover artwork by King Arts, make ‘Pack up and Gwaan’ a must-listen for reggae enthusiasts around the world.

Since its release earlier this year, the new single has been making waves on radio stations across Canada, including Roots Reggae Radio and Cut and Clear Radio, as well as on international stations in the USA, Africa, and the Caribbean. A music video is currently in the works, aiming to elevate the single to even greater heights.

The creation of ‘Pack up and Gwaan’ was a seamless process, fueled by the infectious ‘Warning riddim’ provided by Selassie I Muzik. The riddim inspired Donna Makeda to pen a “sound” song that asserts her dominance in the reggae world. In the track, she confidently addresses rival sound systems, declaring that they aren’t ready to compete with her superior sound. The chorus, with its powerful lines, “Pack up and gwaan, you fi pack up and gwaan, sound bwoy,” resonates with listeners, highlighting the strength and authenticity that Donna Makeda brings to her music.

Donna Makeda’s influence in the reggae world is undeniable. With a career spanning over 15 years, she has consistently delivered chart-topping hits, including ‘Shake Dem Off’ on the Happy Hour riddim and ‘Vegan Dinna’ on the Happy riddim. These tracks have dominated reggae charts in Africa and the USA, and continue to receive airplay in Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, and beyond.

With four full-length albums, numerous singles, and an impressive 29 reggae music awards to her name, Donna Makeda shows no signs of slowing down. ‘Pack up and Gwaan’ marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as she works on her fifth studio album, slated for release in 2025. In addition, fans can look forward to her upcoming collaboration with Cut and Clear Music Productions on the Grinder riddim, set to take the reggae world by storm.
