It will be available on all streaming platforms on 26 May 2023.


True to his ethos, “Viral,” a roots reggae track, delivers a social commentary about current times. Throughout the song, Alborosie reflects on the widespread obsession with instant fame and on his concerns with social media and celebrity culture. Despite the allure of virality, Alborosie rejects it for himself, choosing substance over gimmickry. “I cannot make music that reflects the non-relevant,” Alborosie says. “My reggae should relate to the present.”



Alborosie will be taking to the road for an extensive tour of the Americas and Europe in support of Destiny. See below for tour dates.
