Diamond-selling dancehall and reggae icon Shaggy has released his highly anticipated studio album Lottery, now available across all streaming platforms and in physical formats worldwide as of May 15, 2026. Led by the single “Looking Lovely” featuring Robin Thicke, the 13-track project takes its name from a mindset that has defined Shaggy’s extraordinary three-decade career: always bet on yourself.
Born Orville Richard Burrell in Kingston, Jamaica, Shaggy has consistently defied expectations throughout his career — from Grammy-winning dancehall smashes to his surprise 2018 duet album with Sting. Lottery continues that tradition with a diverse lineup of collaborations and productions that blend contemporary dancehall rhythms with pop, R&B, and soul influences.
Early reviews praise the album’s accessibility and Shaggy’s effortless charisma, with Billboard calling it “a confident, breezy collection from one of reggae’s all-time great showmen.” The album is supported by upcoming signing events and promotional appearances across North America and Europe throughout the summer of 2026.
