Buju Banton is back with VP Records and ready to take over the summer. The dancehall heavyweight has linked with the legendary label to drop “Butterflies,” a fresh single that showcases the melodic, introspective side that’s defined his recent work. It’s a sonic palette shift from the heavier riddims, built on lush production that lets Buju’s voice breathe—classic Buju storytelling wrapped in warmth.
The release arrives as he gears up for a U.S. summer tour that promises to remind America why he remains one of reggae and dancehall’s most commanding live performers. With “Butterflies” now in rotation, expect this to be the soundtrack leading into those dates. For a man who’s spent decades moving crowds from Kingston to the continental U.S., this partnership with VP feels like the natural next chapter—VP’s catalog knows legacy, and Buju’s still writing his.
