FEELING SOUL RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE RECORDS 1991
Feeling Soul Overview
When the Feeling Soul Riddim arrived in 1991, reggae fans welcomed it with open arms. The project’s roots sound and positive energy quickly made it a favorite on playlists and in dancehalls. Listeners were drawn to its warm, conscious vibe, which stood out during a time of change in reggae music. The riddim brought together respected artists, each adding their own touch. Beres Hammond And Mad Cobra delivered “Feeling Lonely,” a track that blended Beres Hammond’s smooth vocals with Mad Cobra’s unique style. Beres Hammond is well known for his hit “Rockaway” and is one of reggae’s most beloved voices. Buju Banton contributed two songs: “Love Black Woman” and “Love Mi Browning.” Buju Banton was already making his mark in the early 1990s and would later win a Grammy for his album “Before the Dawn” in 2011. Marcia Griffiths And Cutty Ranks teamed up for “Fire Burning,” while Marcia Griffiths also shone on her own with the same song title. Marcia Griffiths is famous as a member of the I-Threes, who sang with Bob Marley, and for her solo hit “Electric Boogie.” The riddim’s foundation was built by PENTHOUSE RECORDS, a label known for shaping the sound of 1990s reggae and launching many big artists. Founded by Donovan Germain, Penthouse became a key studio in Kingston, Jamaica, and helped define the digital reggae era. The dub cut from Feeling Soul Riddim is still remembered as a cultural highlight of 1991, showing the lasting impact of this roots project.
