The emerging Jamaican artist rides the momentum of viral hit ‘Pretty’ with a new single celebrating his most dedicated supporters.
Jamaican recording artiste Imotionz is channeling the momentum from his viral single ‘Pretty’ into his latest release, ‘Top Tier,’ a track that serves as a direct tribute to the female fanbase he credits with fueling his musical ascent. Dropped on October 2, the new single underscores the artist’s deep appreciation for his female listeners, whose enthusiastic response to previous work has fundamentally shaped his creative direction.
According to Imotionz, the breakthrough moment came when ‘Pretty’—a collaboration with dancehall producer Week.day, both hailing from Linstead, St Catherine—gained significant traction online. The track, released on the Moonlight rhythm, sparked social media engagement and helped the artist gain clarity about his core audience. “The viral success of Pretty opened my eyes to my fanbase, which is the ladies. The message always connects, so I felt like it was right to keep giving them what they want,” Imotionz explained.
The new single, co-produced by DonFlakes and written by Imotionz himself, represents a deliberate continuation of this audience-focused strategy. The artist’s existing catalogue—including tracks like ‘Miss You,’ ‘Antisocial,’ and ‘Trophy’—demonstrates his signature blend of melodic vocals and emotionally driven storytelling rooted in real-life experiences and personal struggles. His partnership with Week.day has proven particularly fruitful; the two previously collaborated on ‘Regrets,’ which accumulated over 300,000 streams.
With ‘Top Tier,’ Imotionz aims to deepen his connection with female listeners while simultaneously expanding his reach to new audiences. As his presence grows across streaming platforms and social media, the artist has set his sights on international expansion while maintaining the authentic storytelling that has become central to his musical identity.
