Island Girls Riddim – Ytm Recordz

2017 was a busy year for soca riddims that leaned hard into party-ready hooks, and Island Girls sits right in that wave with YTM Recordz keeping the energy bright and straight to the point. The cut that grabs first is “Baby Don’t Stop, ” where Mr Legz and Chanelle Adams ride the groove with a cheeky back-and-forth that feels tailor-made for a fete crowd, while “Can’t Understand” gives SHORTPREE a sharper, more playful lane to work in. Pupa Leendi’s “Country Gal” keeps the lineup grounded with a sweeter, more island-flavoured angle, and the short instrumental closes things out without overstaying its welcome. With six tracks total and a run time just under 20 minutes, this one feels like a compact 2017 soca snapshot rather than a big statement piece.
