Johnmark Wiggan Delivers Sophomore Album “By Fire”
Jamaican gospel artiste Johnmark Wiggan has stepped into a new season with By Fire, his sophomore album, released on streaming platforms on March 20, 2026. The 12-track set was officially launched on Saturday, March 28, at the Karl Hendrickson Auditorium at Jamaica College in St Andrew, where the auditorium was packed to capacity.
True to its title, the launch was built around a camp fire set, with background singers wrapped as campers for a portion of the show and several outfit changes from Wiggan adding to the production. The album features collaborations from Jucal Dyer and The Genesis Praise Squad, Audia Spencer-Brown, Rondell Positive and The Gilead Collective, Prince Saj and Go Worship, DaJourney, and Alicia Taylor.
The night also belonged to the fans. Supporters who had entered Wiggan’s Still Deh Yah open-verse challenge on social media got the chance to freestyle on stage as he performed the popular song, and a medley segment saw Downswell and the other male guest performers render favourites including God Have Mi Back, Champion and Already Done, before the artistes knelt to pray for Wiggan and bless the album.
The launch had been building for months. Announced in February, the Jamaica College event drew a guest bill that also included Rian Davis and Kevin Downswell, with general admission patrons getting a 4D experience, and the Jamaica Observer’s entertainment pages later declared that Wiggan “delivers By Fire.” Tracks such as “Nothing Too Hard,” his collaboration with Rondell Positive and The Gilead Collective, had already introduced the album’s sound ahead of release.
Blending rich Caribbean rhythms with personal storytelling, By Fire builds on Wiggan’s signature sound while pushing into more vulnerable, reflective territory. By Fire is streaming everywhere now.

Guvna B released his tenth studio album, “This Bed I Made,” on April 24, the most personal record of a career that has made the London rapper one of British gospel music’s defining voices. Announced in March alongside the gospel-infused lead single “Rest My Head,” the 11-track album excavates the period in which he stepped away from the spotlight to work through his own struggles.
The album explores addiction, recovery and the stigma that surrounds both, with a title that speaks to accountability: the bed he made is his to reckon with. It was co-produced by Joel Baker and Maths Time Joy, and its guest list bridges UK rap and soul, with collaborations from Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn, Bawo, AratheJay and Claudia Isaki. The focus track “Healing Power,” featuring AratheJay, carries the record’s message of restoration. Adding a clinical lens to the personal story, the project also features reflections from renowned trauma expert Gabor Maté.
“This Bed I Made” arrived as more than an album. A short film of the same name, directed by Christoph Davis and starring Guvna B himself, translates its themes of healing and responsibility to the screen, and the rapper marked the release by hosting a special screening at the Curzon Cinema followed by a Q&A with Jordan Stephens. The music has travelled too: “Rest My Head” went on to reach No. 1 on the UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart.
A triple MOBO Award winner for Best Gospel Act, Guvna B has spent nearly two decades putting his life and faith at the front of his music. On “This Bed I Made,” that honesty reaches its sharpest point yet, offering listeners in recovery a record that refuses to look away.
