Watch the Grammy-nominated reggae sensation Protoje perform ‘Still I Wonder‘ live for Ctrl.At.Home from the album In Search Of Lost Time.
Nestled in the hills surrounding Kingston, Jamaica sits The Habitat, Protoje’s music studio. Recently constructed as an isolated dojo of creativity, it’s where the reggae-adjacent artist recorded ‘In Search Of Lost Time,’ his follow up album to 2017’s Grammy-nominated ‘A Matter of Time.’ The theme of trying to find hours in the day makes sense for such a busy man.
As the head of his In.Digg.Nation label imprint, this year he’s overseen project releases from Lila Iké and Sevana, not to mention his own.
Now a music veteran, Protoje knows there’s a price to pay for success. In the wake of a washed out breakbeat on “Still I Wonder,” the almost 40-year-old reaches a place of mature self-reflection.
“Seems like I’ve been asking for too much from you / Paying no attention to the things you do.”
That he performed the song from a roof in the capital city was all too fitting: he’s on top of his game.
