After teasing a snippet last week that quickly ignited a flurry of fan-created videos across social media, “G.A.D” has officially landed, driven by the signature production of renowned Jamaican producer Yo Christon. The song’s punchy guitar riffs, pulsating rhythms, and Jada’s sultry vocal delivery transport listeners into a high-energy fusion of modern dancehall and rock—a space few have dared to explore.

In true Twinkle fashion, Jada uses the track to deliver both a playful and provocative statement. “I’ve heard some guys saying ‘Girls Are Drugs,’ and honestly, that cracked me up! If you know me, you know I’m all about celebrating the gal dem and representing, so I had to speak up,” she shared in a statement. “If we’re going with the whole girls-as-drugs idea, let’s be real—some guys can get a bit too hooked [laughs]. It’s funny how dudes often focus on women instead of taking a good look at themselves first. I had a blast making this song, and the playful controversy around it was all in good fun. One thing’s for sure: I really went all out on that beat, and I hope you vibe a likkle bit to it.”

The single follows the success of “Only You” and her hit “Can’t Tell Me That,” which have been featured on major playlists like Spotify’s ‘Fever,’ Tidal’s ‘Dancehall Massive,’ and Pandora’s ‘Dancehall Queen.’ With her recent press run in New York City and the long-awaited follow-up to her **2022 EP, New Motion, **on the horizon, Jada Kingdom is poised for a monumental year.

With “G.A.D,” she once again proves she’s unafraid to disrupt, innovate, and redefine the soundscape of Caribbean music. Fans can expect more surprises from the genre-bending star as she continues to break new ground.
