Konshens drops ‘Pool Party’ on Friday
Internationally acclaimed dancehall star Konshens is gearing up to release his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, “Pool Party,” on Friday, June 27.
Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-born entertainment publicist Ronnie Tomlinson told Caribbean Life that “Pool Party is “a vibrant, genre-blending body of work that reflects both a personal and musical rebirth.
“The album offers a fresh, celebratory narrative while remaining rooted in the sound that made Konshens a global force—dancehall,” added the CEO of Destine Media.
Released via Submachine Entertainment/FTS Global Management/ADA Worldwide, Tomlinson said “Pool Party” opens with “a raw, prayerful track” titled “Our Father,” “where Konshens reflects deeply on his journey.”
“Inna my life, me feel like me dead whole heap a time and me born again whole heap a time,” he says, framing this album not just as music but as testimony.
From the opening moment, Tomlinson said the listener is invited into “a space of renewal—through rhythm, resilience, and, ultimately, celebration.”
“In this super serious climate and state, the world is in, I didn’t want to do an album to reflect that,” Konshens says. “I found that whenever I dwell on issues, they stay with me, but whenever I took a light-hearted approach, I got through things quicker and healthier… So, in the midst of all this madness, let’s have a Pool Party!”
Tomlinson said that though the project feels tailor-made for warm-weather playlists, Pool Party is far more than a seasonal soundtrack.
“It’s a sonic statement about dancehall’s global evolution and Konshens’ own personal transformation,” she said. “The album dives deep into the core of the genre but stretches confidently outward—infusing global sounds, hip-hop swagger, Afrobeat textures, and club-ready energy.”
Tomlinson said tracks like “Battlezone” featuring The Game explore the tension between inner conflict and public pressure, while songs like “Back Dat Azz Up” and “Gyal Time Again” (with Charly Blacks) lean fully into release and revelry.
“It’s this dynamic range—of themes, moods, and sonic textures—that defines Pool Party as a complete artistic statement,” she said.
“With ‘Pool Party,’ Konshens reclaims joy as a powerful form of resistance,” she added. “From dance floors to deep thoughts, from gritty lyrics to sunlit hooks, this album is a declaration: no matter the chaos, we dance,” Tomlinson added.
