Deep Love Riddim (Remastered) – Chilla Music

Deep Love Riddim keeps its focus on lovers rock and conscious reggae, but the remastered cut gives it a cleaner, warmer pull than the title might suggest. Chilla Music lines up a strong spread of roots voices here, with Natural Black, Bushman and Lutan Fyah anchoring the set, while Norris Man, Ras Fraser Jr. and Torch keep the mood moving between warning songs, devotion and straight-up love talk. “Sing A Little Love Song” and “Love Is The Way” sit right in that sweet spot where the riddim’s steady bounce and mellow pulse do most of the work, giving each singer room to stretch out. Released in November 2016 with 16 tracks, the project sits nicely in that mid-2010s run of reggae riddims that leaned back into melody and message without losing the sound system feel.
