Island Soul Riddim – Kevstar Records

Kevstar Records’ 2025 Island Soul Riddim brings together nine reggae cuts with a warm, easygoing island feel, led by Javada’s Can’t Go On, Qraig Voicemail’s Don’t Settle, D’yani’s All For Me, Gio Mar’s Just Fine, and Dejour’s Kartel X Sidem. The line-up also includes Kim Kelly, Stefan Amali, D’East, and Lia Caribe, giving the project a nice mix of voices across the riddim. Released on June 6, 2025, it runs as a tight nine-track package and keeps the focus on melodic, reflective songs rather than heavy pressure. Gio Mar’s Just Fine and D’East’s Be Themselves are two of the more memorable moments, while Kevstar continues to shape a clean, roots-leaning sound through the label’s production.
