It’s been too long, and I know the silence has been noted since my birthday back in September. To be honest, this time away from the spotlight was necessary. As many of you know, I wear two hats: the artist who lives for the beat, and the CEO committed to building a clean, sustainable platform for other writers. For the past few months, I was deep in the administrative trenches, focused on making * Clean Way Records Music ** a powerhouse for publishing and sync—ensuring that every artist who rolls with us gets paid properly and on time. That focus took serious energy, and I had to put my own sonic creation on the shelf temporarily. Thank you for giving me that space. **Now, the music is demanding its space back.** I’m thrilled to tell you that I’ve been channeling all that disciplined energy back into the studio. The new singles I’ve been recording feel vital, fresh, and deeply authentic—a true reflection of the Reggae, Afro, and Dancehall pulse that drives me. This journey has been one of growth and hard-earned wisdom. I am calling this new body of work **"Evolution."** * Look out for the first singles hitting the airwaves soon. * The full **Evolution EP (or Album)** is slated for release in 2026. This project is about shedding the past and stepping into my strongest, most powerful artistic self. I miss connecting with you live and sharing the pure joy of the rhythm. Get ready to experience the next chapter. It’s going to be a ride. With all my love and rhythm, **Marilana Ras Dumpling** Artist, Writer, Producer
