Flirtation Riddim – Jamdown

By 2010, dancehall was deep into that sharp, digital era where a slim riddim could still carry a whole package of voices, and Jamdown’s Flirtation Riddim fits right into that moment with six cuts across seven tracks, running just over 21 minutes. The hook here is the lineup, led by Vybz Kartel’s “Inna Yuh” and Konshens on “Sort Out Yourself, ” while Tiana’s “Dat Mi Want” and Sotto Bless and Pop’s “Jealous (Remix)” keep the energy moving with the kind of teasing, flirt-bait lyrics the title promises; the production has that brisk, clipped 2010 dancehall snap rather than anything overly lush. Jamdown released it on October 1, 2010 through Reservoir Recordings, and the set also includes Andrew and Wada Blood’s “Kick It Off” and Sunshine’s “You Want Me. ”
