Hello Mirror Riddim – Deano Deann

Deano Deann frames Hello Mirror Riddim as a compact 2018 roots-reggae set, and the title cut hints at the mood right away: reflective, sweet, and a little stern around the edges, with room for the instrumentation to breathe. The lineup moves nicely between voices like Gia Gee on “Hello Mirror, ” I Maroon on “Music Judge, ” and Philip Brown on “To Heart, ” while Maxcwel’s “Have Fun” and Shandy Man’s “Sail Away” keep the energy lifted without pushing the riddim out of its mellow pocket. It’s the kind of project that sits in that late-2010s space where reggae producers were leaning back into clean melodies, conscious hooks, and straightforward one-riddim sequencing, with Deano Deann even closing it out on the instrumental.
