Kalado – Long Time Gyal

Kalado comes through with “Long Time Gyal, ” a 2026 dancehall single on Puffydon Music that plays straight into his reputation for woman-centered records with cheeky, streetwise energy. The title says plenty: this is a flirting tune aimed at a woman he has had his eye on for a long time, and the language keeps it firmly in party-and-pull-up territory.

Kalado, born Eton Gordon, has long been part of the Kingston dancehall conversation, first making noise with tunes like “Good Good Bring Life” and “Body Nuh Dead” before building out a catalogue that has kept him active in the modern era. His sound has always sat comfortably between swagger and melody, and that balance works well on a track like this.

Puffydon Music has been pushing modern dancehall output in recent years, including a run of singles and the 1057 Riddim, so this release fits into a catalogue that stays close to current club and radio movement. “Long Time Gyal” lands as a concise single rather than a big conceptual statement, which suits the format. It feels built for fast rotation: clean vocal lines, a steady bounce, and enough attitude to keep the hook hanging around after the first spin.
