KINGSTON, Jamaica — Portmore artiste Sxae is turning heartbreak, disappointment and anger into musical therapy with the release of “The Game,” the first single from her highly personal Wicked Gyal trilogy.

Pronounced “Say,” Sxae is stepping into a more vulnerable space with the project, using music to voice the thoughts and emotions that many people may feel but are sometimes afraid to say out loud.

Produced by Snocone on the Teetimus riddim, “The Game” introduces listeners to a trilogy that Sxae describes as one of the most personal bodies of work she has created.
