If you like “Incognito” by Stalk Ashley feat. Alkaline, start with her own “Narcissistic” with Valiant, Kranium’s “Nobody Has to Know”, Tanya Stephens’ “It’s a Pity” and Shenseea’s “Hit & Run”. Each one shares at least one of the things that make “Incognito” work: a hidden or forbidden romance, a male-female exchange, or that smooth blend of dancehall rhythm and R&B melody.
We’ve grouped the 13 picks below by what connects them to the 2020 single, so you can follow whichever thread hooked you: more Stalk Ashley, more Alkaline, more songs about keeping things quiet, or more island R&B duets.
What makes ‘Incognito’ tick
Before the list, a quick refresher. Released in October 2020 via Atlantic UK, “Incognito” is a slow, sultry duet about two people slipping away together when they shouldn’t. Stalk Ashley sings the invitation; Alkaline answers with a deejay verse from the man’s side. DancehallMag called it a fusion of dancehall and R&B, and Ashley herself framed it as a fatal-attraction story. Our full breakdown of what “Incognito” is about goes deeper, and the lyrics are on Genius.
So the songs below were chosen for at least one of three qualities: a secretive or off-limits relationship, a two-voice conversation between a singer and a deejay (or two singers), and a mid-tempo groove that sits between a dancehall session and a late-night R&B playlist.

More from Stalk Ashley
- “Narcissistic” – Valiant & Stalk Ashley (2023). The closest cousin in her catalogue: another duet about a tangled relationship, with each artist arguing their side. Vibe reported that it topped Jamaican charts for weeks; read more in our Stalk Ashley and Valiant songs guide.
- “Deserted” – Stalk Ashley feat. WSTRN (2020). Released five months before “Incognito” and made by the same production pair, Jaxx and KINGBNJMN, it has the same moody, dancehall-tinged R&B palette.
- “Really Like U” – Stalk Ashley x Skillibeng (2024). A lighter, more openly affectionate duet, but the singer-plus-deejay chemistry is straight out of the “Incognito” playbook. It later landed on her debut album Stalky the Bratt.
More Alkaline features
Alkaline rarely guests on other artists’ songs, so each feature is worth knowing. Our complete Alkaline collaborations list has the rest.
- “Txtin’” – WSTRN feat. Alkaline (2017). Alkaline on a smooth UK-R&B track, three years before he did the same for Stalk Ashley. DancehallMag reported in June 2024 that it earned his first UK Silver certification.
- “Just the Style” – Kranium feat. Alkaline (2019). Produced by DJ Frass, it shows Alkaline trading verses with another melodic dancehall voice.
Songs about keeping it secret
- “Nobody Has to Know” – Kranium (2013). The title says it all. Kranium’s breakout is the benchmark discreet-romance song of modern dancehall, and DancehallMag reported it went Gold in the UK in January 2026.
- “It’s a Pity” – Tanya Stephens (2004). A reggae standard on the Doctor’s Darling riddim about wanting someone who is already committed elsewhere, told with far more wit and regret than most.
- “Hit & Run” – Shenseea feat. Masicka & Di Genius (2024). A he-said, she-said about a fling where one side wants more and the other doesn’t; the duet format mirrors “Incognito” neatly.
- “Forever” – Dexta Daps (2023). DancehallMag ranked it among the year’s best and dubbed it a cheater’s anthem; it’s the unapologetic male counterpart to Ashley’s character.
- “It Wasn’t Me” – Shaggy feat. Rikrok (2000). The comic flip side of a secret affair: what happens when the hiding fails. It topped the charts in both the US and the UK.
Dancehall-R&B duets with the same glow
- “Come Over” – Jorja Smith feat. Popcaan (2020). Released the same year as “Incognito”, it pairs a British R&B singer with a Jamaican deejay over a warm, unhurried rhythm.
- “Slow Down” – Skip Marley & H.E.R. (2019). A tender reggae-R&B conversation that reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Songs chart in 2020.
- “Work” – Rihanna feat. Drake (2016). The global blueprint for dancehall-flavoured R&B duets about a complicated relationship.
