Cyclone J-Vibe keeps this one airy and conversational, with a clean reggae swing that leaves room for the singers to carry the emotion rather than crowding the mix. The 2012 Conversation Riddim pulls together eight cuts, and the strongest moments come from Fireson’s “Light Di Fire, ” Fyah Lynx’s “Tell Me, ” and Vivian Green’s “Save Me, ” which adds a softer edge to the set. There’s a nice bit of family resemblance here if you know Cyclone/J-Vibe’s later work: this is part of that run of tasteful, vocalist-led rhythms the camp was putting out around the same period, without chasing the heavier dancehall pressure. With Kahlil, Ricardo Clarke, and the Singing U/ Marlon B combination also in the mix, it sits neatly in the producer’s catalogue as one of those roots-leaning various-artist sessions built for repeat listening.
