Love Affair Riddim – Good Vybz Entertainment

Good Vybz Entertainment’s Love Affair Riddim sits in that 2011 wave of dancehall projects that leaned into romance without softening the swing. The cut is built for the lovers’ side of the dancehall, with Danny English and Ladi Lucky on “Love You Like Dat, ” John Maffia’s “You Don’T Need Me, ” and Don Andre’s “Come Inna Mi Room” giving it most of its personality; there’s also a neat duo turn from Angele Smith and Sasi Bling on “See Your Face. ” The instrumentals are listed alongside the vocal tracks, which tells you this was assembled with selectors in mind as much as singers, leaving room for the riddim to breathe between the voices. It’s a compact sequence, moving from the opening duet through the solo singles and back to the version, with “Mr Bryce – Try” closing things out in the tracklist as a final extra cut.
