Back To The Days Riddim (2022) – TM And God Alone

Back To The Days Riddim arrived in 2022 from TM and God Alone Productions as a smooth, old-school reggae juggling with a strong nostalgic pull. The groove sits in that warm mid-tempo lane that invites reflective sing-alongs more than hard-edged dancehall aggression, with soft bass movement, clean guitar skanks, and a patient one-drop feel that leaves plenty of room for the vocals.

The set pulls in four familiar voices who each suit the rhythm in a different way. Sanchez brings Naggin’ with Little Hero in tow, and that pairing gives the riddim a conversational edge. Terry Linen’s Have a Lovely Day is the gentlest cut here, the kind of tune that rides the pocket with an easy, uplifting tone. Pinchers’ Condolences adds the heaviest emotional weight, while Shanala’s Lovers Again gives the project a sweeter, romantic finish. Together they make the riddim feel less like a random juggling and more like a deliberate throwback to the era when singers carried a whole project on tone and phrasing.

TM and God Alone have been active in the reggae and dancehall space with a string of modern-rooted releases, and Back To The Days sits comfortably in that catalogue as a classic-minded rootsy offering. The title fits: this is music made to recall a slower, more melodic reggae moment without sounding dated.
