Edition Riddim – Hit Melody Records

There’s a warm, rootsy ease to Edition Riddim, and Hit Melody Records keeps it moving with seven singers each taking a clean run at the same melody. Singer Irie’s “Love Like This” has that easy, heartfelt feel that settles in right away, while Ed Robinson’s “Just Wanna Love You” leans into the veteran sweetness he’s known for and gives the set a more polished edge. Ian Sweetness and Mykal Dymon add a bit of grit and contrast, which keeps the riddim from sitting in one lane too long. The whole thing first surfaced in 2021, and that timing matters: it caught Hit Melody Records right at the start of its production run, with a compact, no-fuss reggae project that points straight at melody and songcraft rather than big studio tricks.
