Produced by Mister Tipsy in 1996, I Was Born To Be Loved Riddim pulls together a compact set of roots-and-lovers cuts from Beres Hammond, Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths, Gregory Isaacs, and Vivian Jones, with Vivian Jones turning up twice on Happiness and Time To Make Love. The selection leans on strong vocal melodies rather than a crowded artist list, and Move Along, Always Together, and False Evidence give the set some of its most memorable moments. It’s a smooth, singer-heavy reggae showcase with a classic mid-90s feel, and the mix of veterans across generations gives the riddim a warm, seasoned character.
