Maxi Priest: Touch By An Angel

Reggae and lovers rock singer Maxi Priest returns with a new single titled Touch By An Angel via his Level Vibes Music imprint, distributed worldwide by Intercept Music.

The single showcases the Grammy-nominated artist’s signature silky tenor and timeless ability to translate emotion into song, qualities that have captivated global audiences for over four decades.

Touch By An Angel follows Maxi Priest’s recent collaboration with Sean Paul on Feel So Alive, which launched the Level Vibes Music imprint in partnership with Intercept Music. With Touch By An Angel, he builds on that momentum, delivering an even more intimate and soulful offering.

Produced by multi-Grammy Award-winning reggae and dancehall producer Paul “Jazzwad” Yebuah, the track flows seamlessly between reggae, R&B, and soul. It captures the warmth and ease of genuine connection, with rich, emotionally assured vocals that reflect love grounded in peace, devotion, and the joy of being truly seen.

“This song is about those moments when love feels effortless,” says Maxi Priest. “When being with someone brings a sense of completeness—like you’ve been touched by someone truly special… your angel.”

Adding a personal artistic layer, the official cover art for Touch By An Angel is based on an original illustration by Maxi Priest himself, reflecting the sensitivity and passion at the heart of the record.

Looking ahead, Maxi Priest is preparing his upcoming live album Family. It’s an intimate project uniting his sons, longtime collaborators, and a new generation of creatives across Jamaica, the UK, and the US. Rooted in legacy, connection, and live musicianship, the album promises a rich, authentic sound infused with a modern edge.

Throughout his career, Maxi Priest has collaborated with an elite roster of producers and artists who have helped shape the global sound of reggae and beyond, including Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare, Jazzie B, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, David Morales, Louie Vega, and Robert Livingston, among others.

Beyond music, Maxi Priest remains committed to humanitarian efforts, supporting relief initiatives in Jamaica through partnerships with Bob and Rita Marley Foundation and Intercept Music. His outreach includes fundraising campaigns, supply distribution efforts, and collaborations with international organizations to aid communities impacted by natural disasters.

A Grammy-nominated reggae fusion pioneer, Maxi Priest rose to global prominence with hits like Close To You, Wild World, and House Call, becoming one of the few reggae artists to achieve a solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, he has collaborated with artists like Beres Hammond, Roberta Flack, Shabba Ranks, and Shaggy.
