THE TRAIN IS COMING RIDDIM produced by UPSTAIRS MUSIC 2021
The Train Is Coming Overview
The one drop rhythm has always been a powerful heartbeat in reggae music. In the 2021 release of the Train Is Coming Riddim, this classic base shines through. The one drop style is known for its steady kick on the third beat, giving singers and deejays a deep, rootsy foundation. The basslines are heavy and rich, while the drum patterns keep things grounded and soulful. This groove lets each artist’s voice and message come forward, creating a hypnotic, laid-back vibe that draws listeners in. Ken Boothe, a legendary figure in reggae, brings his timeless voice to “The Train Is Coming.” This song title is also one of his signature hits from the 1970s, and hearing it again on this riddim adds a sense of history and respect. Wayne Armond, known for his work with the band Chalice, delivers “YaYa” with his smooth vocals and guitar skills. Screwdriver, who once reached the Billboard charts with “No Mama (Sharon Yuh Pregnant?)” in the late 1980s, gives a heartfelt performance on “Longing For Your Touch.” Hezron, who has been praised for his soulful approach to reggae, shares “Plant A Seed,” while Kristine Alicia, a nominee for the Marlin Awards, adds “Roots Rock Reggae” with her uplifting style. Behind the scenes, UPSTAIRS MUSIC takes on the producer’s role, shaping the sound and energy of the riddim. The label, known for working with a range of reggae and dancehall artists, ensures that each track keeps the authentic feel of roots reggae while sounding fresh for today’s listeners. Looking back, roots fans often point to this 2021 one drop base as a standout moment, reminding everyone of the enduring power of reggae’s classic rhythms.
