Faithful Riddim (2011) – Cashflow Records

Cashflow Records’ Faithful Riddim arrived in 2011 with Neil Mitchell steering the production, and it sits in that sweet spot between roots-minded consciousness and radio-ready lovers rock. The instrumental rides a steady, uncluttered groove that leaves room for melody first, then message, which is why so many of the voicings land on faith, loyalty, love, and emotional repair.

Christopher Martin’s “Stay Faithful” is one of the anchor cuts, and it suits his clean, high-register style perfectly. Ce’Cile flips the mood with “Find Dem Out, ” bringing a sharper, more defiant edge, while Denyque’s “Love Hurts” softens the riddim into something more vulnerable. Wayne Wonder’s “Love Gets Sweeter” adds veteran polish, the kind of smooth vocal phrasing that gives the set extra weight.

The deeper cast helps the project feel wider than a simple lovers compilation. I Octane’s “Topic Of The Day” and Khago’s “Kiss and Make Up” bring a more direct Jamaican street sensibility, while Ginjah and Singing Jah’s “Wanna Get Out” and Soulindi’s “Back To You” keep the emotional temperature high. G Whizz’s “Arms Of Love, ” Nellie Roxx’s “Rather Be Alone, ” and Zamunda’s “As Mi Rise” round out a riddim that moves between uplift, regret, and romantic tension without losing its easy sway.

It’s a Cashflow release that sounds built for repeated juggling: warm, melodic, and versatile enough for singers and deejays to take different angles without breaking the mood.
