The 2022 Jamaica Festival Song album is now live on global music streaming services across the world including Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, and Pandora.

The album titled ‘Jamaica Festival 2022 Song Competition’ features the ten finalists in this year’s competition.

It’s the third consecutive year that finalists in the Jamaica Festival Song Competition have been released on global streaming platforms.

The Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, who has been leading the initiative as part of her strategy to revitalise Jamaica Festival is urging “lovers of Jamaican music, everywhere, to support the artistes by streaming and downloading the songs.”

The winning song will be decided by judges scores as well as public voting via text messaging in Jamaica and via the Reggae Jamaica App across the world.

The Minister says it’s a “good album which represents a mix of Jamaican music genres.”

Earlier this week, the ten finalists appeared in the first televised performance show ahead of the announcement of the winner on July 28, 2022.

There’s a prize of three million dollars for the winning song to be shared among the producer, the writer and the singer.
