Kelissa Uncovers ‘The Good Side of Things’ on First Studio Album in Almost a Decade: ‘I Created the Music I Wanted and Needed’

Kelissa Breaks a Decade-Long Silence With ‘The Good Side of Things’

After nearly ten years away from the studio, reggae’s introspective voice returns with something personal—a debut album that’s pure Kelissa, unapologetically on her own terms. *The Good Side of Things* isn’t a comeback; it’s a reclamation. She made the music she wanted, the music she needed, and that honesty crackles through every track.

The long wait wasn’t passive. Kelissa spent the years living, growing, questioning—the kind of work that only deepens an artist’s voice. What emerges is a reflection of that journey: roots-grounded, emotionally direct, and uninterested in chasing trends. For a generation that’s watched her navigate the industry’s pressures, this album reads like a answer—proof that stepping back can lead somewhere more authentic than staying in the noise.
