Ginjah Commits To His Woman With ‘My Job’

Ginjah knows that in this age of Jamaican music, it’s very rare to find reggae love songs, especially songs that express any philosophy remotely, like monogamy. However, that’s essentially what his latest single, My Job is about: whole-hearted commitment to one Queen.

“Most women want to be loved unconditionally and they desire to see that love in action just as much as in words. So with this song, I am reaffirming my promise to my woman that my job is to take care of you,” Ginjah explained.

It appears Ginjah has no problem splashing out major Gs on the welfare of his woman. “Mi will give her all my money, she will give me a little smalls back because I am the provider,” Ginjah joked.

The Never Lost My Way singer said this song is a deliberate push to imbue the local music scene – littered with songs about trigger pulling, degrading women, obeah, and chopping – with more positive songs that can uplift and repair the social fabric of communities.

“The artists ah dwell inna the darkness for far too long? Wah about love, caring, affection and family…as music people, dem tek on the darkness too long. We need balance: morals, family values and simple humanity,” he said.

“Most of the man who sing love don’t love no one. Mi ah show yu how me fight, with love. Mi ah be myself, ah love and truth make reggae an unstoppable force, and love is my truth. Everybody who hear this song feel it to dem core, there is nothing more powerful than a man’s commitment to his woman…it can move the world,” he added.

The song was released on the Newave Music record label, established in 2020. The label is known for productions such as the Shishenkeh rhythm and the Never Give Up on Jah and Bleed rhythms.

Executive producer Clement Ross has also done a dancehall project with dancehall star I Waata but believes this My Job single is his first bonafide hit.

“This is the best song I’ve done so far, always wanted to record Ginjah, he is one of my favorite artistes, everyone loved it the first time they heard this song, to how the song bad, mi just a run with it,” Ross said.

The project also features Turbulence with a song called Woman Yu Wicked. Ross said there are plans to shoot videos of the songs.

In the meantime, Ginjah is gearing up for a mini tour to promote the album, with gigs already confirmed for major US cities such as Detroit, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
