[2026] Recommended for Women! A Collection of Reggae Classics [Western & Japanese]

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Reggae music continues to evolve today, incorporating various genres while carrying on its traditional sound.

It’s a genre that spans a wide range of themes—from sweet love songs to social messages—and in recent years, the rise of female artists has been especially notable, particularly in Jamaica, the music’s birthplace.

In this article, we’ve put together standout reggae tracks we’d recommend to women, including not only Jamaican artists but also “Japa-Reggae” from Japan, which boasts many outstanding musicians.

From empowering songs by female artists to love songs from a male perspective, enjoy this diverse and vibrant selection!
