Within minutes of the release of her third studio album ‘Mirror 25‘, Grammy-nominated recording artiste Spice earns her biggest opening weekend to debut on top of the Reggae iTunes chart.

‘Mirror 25‘, which dropped last Friday (August 9) through the Spice Official Entertainment label with distribution through Empire, emerged #2 in the US and UK for all genres, #1 in Israel for all genres, and #3 in Canada for all genres charts.

The 25-track LP, executive produced by Spice, showcases the dancehall queen’s sound infused with a unique kaleidoscope of rhythmic tracks intertwined with a melting pot of genres. The album further reinforces Spice’s signature influence on dancehall, cementing her presence as one of Jamaica’s most versatile and creative artists of today’s time. 

Across 25 tracks, ‘Mirror 25’ is a unique body of work serving as Spice’s raw, open diary of her past trials and tribulations–with each track revealing a vulnerable part of her life. 

“Creating my album ‘Mirror 25’ was intentionally done to celebrate 25 incredible years in music,” explained Spice. 

“It has been a truly exhilarating journey, and this album showcases my versatility as well as my passion for dancehall,” she continued. “I’m beyond excited to share these 25 songs with the world because I’m sure each song will be relatable to each of my Besties. The diversity within my fanbase has pushed me to experiment with a lot of new sounds while staying true to my authentic dancehall roots. This album is a true reflection of my heart in its purest form and is a celebration of my history in dancehall. 25 years is not a small thing, it’s a very big thing.”

The album takes listeners on an introspective journey portraying Spice’s highs and lows, victories, struggles, and growth that she has overcome musically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. ‘Mirror 25’ delivers infectious melodies with empowering messages while commemorating the dancehall legend’s 25-year milestone as an international recording artist. 

As a surprise for her beloved ‘Besties’, Spice releases her new single and visual, ‘Whoop‘, the very same day as her ‘Mirror 25’ album release.

Serving as the fifth single from the album, “Whoop” is a high energy track that serves as a mantra for positivity. The song blends an eccentric, Caribbean sound fused with an upbeat, hip-hop rhythm. Written and produced by Spice, the lyrics encourage listeners to prioritize their mental and emotional health all while fostering a positive mindset. Composed as a feel-good dance song for listeners, “Whoop” celebrates protecting your peace, and moving away from bad energy and negativity. The track is the perfect exploration of self-reflection, encouraging listeners to move away from toxicity. 

On the song, Spice croons: “Jump over bad energy, miss me with your negativity. A so mi sight off dutty livity. Mi jump up inna prosperity.” 

The stunning music video, directed by Royal Eyez (Royal Okwor), artistically showcases Spice’s vocals and message in the futuristic era that adds depth to the viewing experience. Produced by Spice official Entertainment, the riddim track was recorded at Ireland Recording Studios, composed by Karon ‘Yow Levite’ Young, and mastered by Redboom Super Mix.
