HORIZON RIDDIM produced by RANDY RICH PRODUCTIONS 2012
Horizon Overview
In 2012, reggae music was exploring new directions, but the one drop base remained a strong link to its roots. The "Horizon Riddim" used this classic rhythm to keep the traditional reggae sound alive, standing out among the digital and dancehall-influenced productions of the time. The music arranger for "Horizon Riddim" played a key role in shaping its warm, organic sound. By focusing on live instruments and clean arrangements, the riddim offered a fresh but familiar feeling. RANDY RICH PRODUCTIONS, the label behind the release, is known for supporting reggae projects that respect the genre’s foundation. The label has built a reputation for quality releases and has worked with various artists in the reggae scene, helping to keep roots reggae in the spotlight during the 2010s. Each artist on the riddim brought their own style. Hyah Slyce delivered "Set Me Free" with a calm and steady voice, matching the riddim’s peaceful energy. Vybrant’s "Give Us A Chance" added emotion and hope, showing his ability to connect with listeners. Bugle, who is known for hits like "Journey," contributed "From The Outside," bringing his usual thoughtful lyrics. Jahmiel, who later gained international attention with songs such as "Gain the World," sang "Too Late," adding a youthful and heartfelt touch. Denyque, recognized for her smooth vocals and songs like "Make Me Believe You," closed out the lineup with "I Miss You," blending reggae with a touch of R&B.
