PROTOJE SCORES SECOND GRAMMY NOMINATION
IN BEST REGGAE ALBUM CATEGORY FOR “THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM”
“This is not your parent’s reggae…an avant-garde sonic montage that propels his exceptional vocal flow and lyrical complexities to greater heights….” –
Rolling Stone
“a melodic rift between isolation and family, love and betrayal, light and darkness…sentient sounds sail over one drop dubwise beats…lyrics are alert, yet nothing is forceful, and Protoje’s vocals swiftly switch from crooning to old-school conscious rap flow, and sing-jaying.” –

“Transportive reggae album”

Protoje, one of Jamaica’s key figures in today’s musical landscape, receives his second GRAMMY nomination in the Best Reggae Album category for Third Time’s The Charm, which was released Sept 23, 2022 (In.Digg.Nation Collective/RCA Records).
Third Time’s The Charm concludes his trilogy of albums associated with time. It follows In Search of Lost Time (2020), released in partnership with Protoje’s label In.Digg.Nation Collective, Six Course and RCA Records, and his previous GRAMMY nominated A Matter of Time (2018) via In.Digg.Nation Collective / Overstand Entertainment, licensed to Mr Bongo Worldwide / Easy Star Records.
“It means a lot to get the second nomination because it really validates the first one I received for A Matter Of Time. I felt more relief than excitement to be honest because I knew it wasn’t guaranteed,” Protoje says about this prestigious recognition.
“This album [Third Time’s The Charm], like its predecessor [In Search of Lost Time], is an exploration of the new sounds that are possible in modern reggae music. I feel the production and lyrics are quite unique in its presentation and it sets the stage for this decade,” he adds.
