Following the global chart success of “Zip Yuh Mouth,” Empress Ann Recordz releases “Budum,” the latest single from rising Dancehall artist Gothic. The track, released on March 27, 2026, is now available on all major streaming platforms.
“Budum” delivers a high-energy “Gyal Tune” driven by a heavy rhythmic pulse and infectious club-ready sound. Built for dance floors and viral dance challenges, the record highlights Gothic’s vocal style over production that blends traditional Jamaican Dancehall with a modern international edge.
The release marks the second phase of a strategic rollout aimed at expanding Gothic’s global reach. With “Zip Yuh Mouth” charting in the Top 100 in Gabon and reaching the Top 200 in Estonia, Rwanda, and Bolivia, “Budum” arrives at a key moment to build on that momentum.
“We are building a bridge between regions,” says Anna Brown, CEO of Empress Ann Recordz. “Gothic’s sound is universal. ‘Budum’ isn’t just a song; it’s a movement for the dance floor that we expect to resonate from Jamaica to the world.”
The official music video for “Budum,” featuring choreography and visuals tailored to match the track’s heavy bassline, is set to premiere on April 10, 2026, two weeks after the audio release.
