Richie Flo has unveiled his deeply personal new album, St. Thomas Mi Born, an 11-track homage to his Jamaican roots that resonates with reggae lovers worldwide. Now available on all major streaming platforms, this project masterfully fuses roots reggae, dancehall, and lovers’ rock with global sounds, creating a vibrant and meaningful listening experience.
For Richie Flo, this album is a heartfelt tribute to the place that shaped him. “This is my love letter to St. Thomas,” he expressed. “Though I’ve made Canada my home for over 15 years, my heart remains in Jamaica. Those early days, picking mangoes, swimming in the river, living without worries, taught me that true joy comes from life’s simple pleasures, not material wealth. This album is about honoring those memories and sharing that spirit with the next generation.”
The album showcases Richie Flo’s artistic growth and international reach. It includes the energizing lead single “Reggae (Do What We Want),” produced by Austria’s celebrated House of Riddim, and “Another Day,” a soulful earlier release helmed by renowned saxophonist and producer Dean Fraser. In a powerful cross-continental collaboration, Richie joins Ghanaian artist Major Steppa on two tracks, beautifully bridging Jamaican and African musical traditions through reggae’s universal language.
More than just a musical collection, St. Thomas Mi Born carries a message of resilience, cultural pride, and hope. Richie Flo’s journey from his beginnings as a deejay in Jamaica to his current presence in Toronto’s thriving reggae scene has refined his artistry and purpose. Following his debut album Life, Love & Music, this release represents both a homecoming and a step forward—blending authentic reggae foundations with contemporary relevance.
With its rich collaborations, heartfelt storytelling, and uplifting vibrations, St. Thomas Mi Born establishes Richie Flo as an important voice in modern reggae. By bringing the spirit of St. Thomas to audiences around the world, he invites everyone to connect with the roots, rhythms, and positive messages that define his music.
