FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA, Feb. 17, 2026 /MAG_News/ — American-Jamaican singer-songwriter S.K.A.M. is preparing to release his deeply anticipated debut album, Testing The Water, a genre-blurring body of work set to arrive on all major streaming platforms later this year.

But before the full immersion comes the warning ripple. His newly released EP, Surface Tension, now streaming worldwide, serves as the emotional prologue to the album — a raw, unfiltered introduction to an artist who refuses to perform vulnerability halfway.

S.K.A.M. creates music that feels lived-in rather than manufactured. His sound is built on tension: strength and softness, pride and apology, love and self-sabotage.

While Testing The Water is slated for release in the next 3–6 months, Surface Tension is available now on all streaming platforms.

This is not background music.

This is the sound of someone standing at the edge — deciding whether to SINK OR SWIM.

- THE ONE YOU NEVER SAW COMING

S.K.A.M. is an Atlanta-based American-Jamaican singer-songwriter who blends soul, R&B, and jazz with cinematic storytelling, crafting songs that feel lived-in and urgent. His music cuts through pretense, exploring vulnerability, love, pride, and the unspoken tensions of modern life.

S.K.A.M. moves through sound like a storyteller with nothing to hide. Every note, every verse, is steeped in lived experience, weaving the grit of city nights with the quiet tension of private moments.

His music doesn’t just play—it confronts. It reflects the chaos of human connection, the weight of unspoken feelings, and the courage it takes to face your own contradictions. There’s no pretense, no carefully polished façade; every record is raw, immediate, and unmistakably real.

Listeners will find themselves pulled into spaces of vulnerability they didn’t expect—broken conversations, lingering memories, fleeting triumphs—all underscored by melodies that hit with surprising force.

From dim-lit rooms to bustling streets, S.K.A.M.’s compositions hold the tension of anticipation and release. He transforms ordinary moments into immersive soundscapes that linger long after the music stops.

This is music for those who resist easy answers, who crave truth over comfort, and who recognize that life’s beauty is inseparable from its mess. S.K.A.M. doesn’t offer escape—he offers a mirror, a reckoning, and a soundtrack for standing your ground while the world spins.
