BLESSED LOVE RIDDIM produced by DEANO DEANN 2013
Blessed Love Overview
In 2013, reggae music saw a strong return to the one drop rhythm, and Blessed Love Riddim was a perfect example. Its heavy bass and classic drum pattern fit right into the roots revival happening at the time. This sound made it a favorite in roots sessions across Jamaica and beyond, bringing together both old and new fans of the genre. The studio work behind this riddim was led by producer DEANO DEANN. Known for his skill at blending smooth melodies with deep bass, DEANO DEANN had already built a name for himself in reggae circles. He worked with the label Island Groove Productions, and his productions often stand out for their clean mix and authentic vibe. His careful touch on Blessed Love Riddim gave it a unique identity that set it apart from other releases that year. The artists on this riddim each brought their own style. Craig Ed East’s “That One” stood out for its steady delivery and heartfelt lyrics. Fiyah Binghi, with “Give Thanks,” added a spiritual energy that connected with listeners looking for uplifting messages. Gaza Maxwell’s “Guide My Steps” was especially meaningful, as Maxwell was already known for powerful songs like “Miss You,” which became a tribute after his untimely passing in 2007. Venom’s “No More” added grit and determination, rounding out the riddim’s message. Blessed Love Riddim kept the cultural message of reggae alive through 2013, showing how roots music could still move people and make a mark in modern times.
