Protoje shares new song “Hills,” confirms new album for this summer

Reggae great Protoje has just released a new single, "Hills," which is the first single off his followup to 2020's great In Search Of Lost Time, due this summer via RCA and Protoje's own In.Digg.Nation Collective. (Title and release date TBA.) The track was produced by 8TRACK & IV The Polymath, and it's a seamless fusion of reggae, hip hop, and psychedelia.

Protoje says, "This song narrates what the last two years have been like for me, living in the mountains while the world was on lockdown. Connecting with the simplicity that exists here and being inspired with what I see surrounding me. With the release of this single it’s like: I’ve been away for a little while, but here’s what I’ve been up to." Watch the Samo-directed video below.

Protoje also has upcoming tour dates, including Bonnaroo, Roots Picnic, Cali Roots Festival, Reggae Rise Up Festival, and more. All dates are listed below.
