Empress Naphtali is a powerhouse in the South African Reggae scene, celebrated for her « conscious roots » sound and her ability to weave spiritual depth into contemporary rhythms. Hailing from Wellington in the Western Cape, she has spent over a decade establishing herself as one of the most prominent female voices in African Reggae.
The New Era: Ignite (2026)
Recently, Empress Naphtali released her highly anticipated 4th studio album, Ignite. This project marks a significant milestone in her career, arriving as she continues to break barriers—such as her historic performance as the first female reggae artist to grace the stage at the Cape Town Jazzathon. Ignite is described as a “blazing trail” of roots and rhythm, designed to spark a sense of revolution and healing in its listeners. Currently, she is touring South Africa to support the release, with major dates in Cape Town and Johannesburg throughout 2026.
“I sing conscious Roots Reggae music for those who seek healing and inspiration… it is the powerful yet gentle cry for love, unity, and peace.”
The album includes tracks such as “Love Is One,” “Formulas,” “Thunda,” “Omega Energy” (feat. Jalifa), “Purpose” (feat. Achiba Don), “Grant Us The Love” (feat. Achiba Don), “Our Season,” “Heart Light,” and “Rise Again.”
