Love For All Riddim – Lava Voice Productions

Love For All Riddim from Lava Voice Productions sits in that mid-2010s roots-reggae pocket where the arrangements lean more on mood than flash, letting the singers carry the message over a clean, steady groove. The cut list is brief, with Gaza Maxwell’s “Show Me The Way, ” Dehva and Jamerican’s “Everything A Mine, ” Lawgiver’s “Religious Tension, ” and Colah Colah’s “Give Thanks” doing the main talking, while the version side closes it out in proper showcase fashion. The production keeps things warm and unhurried, with a straight drum pattern, rounded bass line, and light melodic touches that leave plenty of room for the vocals. It’s a compact five-track set, and the easy swing of the riddim gives the lyrics a firm but unfussy frame.
