Major Myjah drops new single under Roc Nation label

International reggae-pop artiste Major Myjah is about to tell his fans the 'truth' about his 'exes' in his controversial single of the same name.

Following the "great vibe, oneness" and camaraderie created at his 'Listening Party Tour' at Janga's Soundbar & Grill on Tuesday, he shared his inspiration behind the song with THE STAR.

"It's really about truth and honesty. I grew up with my mom and my sister, didn't grow with my dad [dancehall artiste Bounty Killer] so there's a lot a things I had to learn on my own growing up as a man. Suh as a man now when you grow up you think seh 'Yuh fi jus give a woman wah shi want, whatever she wants to hear' and I don't think that's wrong. But I also don't think that's right because there're plenty of people who will sacrifice what they have for who they love or what somebody else wants. I think it's important to be truthful and honest and I had to learn that on my own, through relationships," said Myjah.

He continued, "Through that process, mi find out seh not everything that everybody wants to hear is always the right thing to say. Sometimes although the truth may hurt, if you tell the truth, you never really know what the outcome is. So Exes is just me being honest and upfront when yuh first meet somebody and yuh a deal wid dem mi jus a tell dem 'Look babes, all ma exes love me, nuh worry yuhself'." He implored fans to listen deeper for the message of 'self-love'.

"[ Exes] is really a vibe because ultimately, I think the message is, no matter what the case may be, capture the moment, live your life - live in the now [because] you may never know what can come out of it at the end of the day. Our past is our past and the present is the present so live in the present while looking to the future," shared Myjah.

The song which is schedule to drop on Friday, is the artiste's fourth track under his recently signed partnership with Jay Z's Roc Nation label.

While being a musical trailblazer on the international scene as Bounty Killer's son, the versatile singer said he's still keen on the local music scenes as he weighed in on the "lack of originality from these nowadays artistes".

"I love all music and I think that people should create in whatever way they want to create. Mi naah try put no borders for anyone to try and fit into. Do you? Because all a dem young artistes yah sound like dem a yell or dem a try follow one formula weh a next man do. But jus do you because ultimately, if you [be original] in the highest possible frequency, people are going to resonate with it, regardless. They will have no choice but to respect it," he advised.

He said that he has much respect for Gen Z artistes, but suggested to them that "we don't need to hear all the same [stuff] all di times".

"Wi need some fresh vibes, some fresh energy and that's not just in Jamaica, it's all over the world and that's what I'm tryna come with; be different," he added.
