Veteran reggae and world music artist Yishka opens a deeply personal new chapter with the release of his latest album, Playbook, arriving Friday, October 2, 2026. Produced by acclaimed recording artist and producer Ed Robinson, the album will be released by Global Digital Records.

Known throughout his career as an accomplished vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Yishka brings decades of musical experience to a project rooted in storytelling, emotion, love, and relationships.

Playbook explores the many dimensions of love — from the excitement of finding someone special and the comfort of intimacy, to the vulnerability that comes with opening your heart and the challenges that arise when two people try to build and sustain a relationship.

At times romantic and uplifting, and at other moments reflective and deeply personal, the album is inspired by real emotions, real situations, and real love stories. It captures the journey of relationships in all their complexity — attraction, commitment, uncertainty, communication, second chances, difficult conversations, and the determination to keep love alive.

The title Playbook reflects the patterns, lessons, and choices that shape our experiences in love and in life. Every relationship teaches us something. Some lessons come through joy, others through disappointment, and some are learned only after repeating the same choices. The album reflects those realities while also exploring the courage it takes to grow, change, and create a new path forward.

Under the production direction of Ed Robinson, Playbook showcases Yishka’s soulful vocal style and seasoned musicianship while maintaining a warm, polished, and authentic sound throughout.

Yishka performs saxophone on select tracks, Joanna Marie Robinson contributes piano and keyboards on select tracks, while Ed Robinson performs the remaining instrumentation and also mixed and mastered the album. For Yishka, Playbook is more than simply another recording project. It is a reflection of life lived, love experienced, and lessons learned.

The album also highlights the versatility that has defined Yishka’s career. From intimate moments of romance to songs centered on reassurance, reflection, perseverance, and emotional growth, Playbook connects one artist’s experiences with feelings that are universally understood.

Global Digital Records is proud to present Playbook as the latest chapter in Yishka’s continuing musical journey — a collection created for listeners who have loved deeply, questioned relationships, opened their hearts, taken chances, and discovered that some of life’s greatest lessons are written through experience.

Playbook — real stories, real emotions, and music from the heart.
