Heart And Soul Riddim (2016) – First Klase

First Klase takes a lighter, more vocal-driven route here than the harder-edged soca production many listeners might expect, and that shift suits the Heart and Soul Riddim’s breezy, melodic pulse. Bunji Garlin’s “Boom Bam” kicks things off with the most kinetic energy, while Fayann Lyons keeps the tempo bright on “Boss Chicks, ” leaning into a confident, playful feel. Teddyson John closes it out with “Cyah Steel My Joy, ” which brings the sweetest hook on the project and gives the riddim its most memorable lift. With just three cuts, the 2016 release keeps the focus tight and lets the groove do the talking, all crisp percussion, roomy bass, and a sing-along steelpan touch that gives the whole thing its name.
