Eye Candy Riddim – Rufftouch Music

With its warm, mid-tempo reggae swing and a polished, almost glossy feel, Eye Candy Riddim sits in that sweet spot where the groove stays light but the bass still has enough weight to carry the hooks. Rufftouch Music keeps the focus on melody here, and the best moments come from Terry Linen’s “Cherry Baby” and Gappy Ranks’ pair of cuts, especially “Orange Hill Mastr, ” which leans into his sharper phrasing against the cleaner backdrop. Christopher Demontague and Reddman UK round out the vocal side without crowding the riddim, leaving the version at the end to underline how neatly the whole thing is put together. Coming in as a six-track 2018 set, it fits Rufftouch Music’s catalogue as one of those compact reggae releases that favors songcraft and repeat play over heavy-handed arrangement.
