Love Is The Answer Riddim (2017) – Tads Jamaica

Love Is The Answer Riddim came out in 2017 from Tads Jamaica, a name tied to the long-running Tad’s Records umbrella that has kept a steady place in reggae’s modern roots lane. This is not a random one-off juggling; it sits in a catalogue that has repeatedly favored clean, vocal-forward projects with enough room for veteran voices to carry the message.

The riddim itself moves with a warm, mid-tempo roots pulse, built for singers rather than deejays. The arrangements leave space for harmonies, with the kind of steady bass line and relaxed drum feel that let the hooks breathe. It’s the sort of rhythm where the song title almost acts like a mission statement: unity, uplift, love, and everyday survival.

Jah Mason’s “Love Is The Answer” is the obvious anchor, and Luciano’s “Get Together” gives the project one of its most natural uplift moments. Glen Washington’s “Good Loving” brings the smoother lovers’ side, while Lutan Fyah’s “Joy Of My Life” keeps the message conscious without losing melody. Half Pint’s “Mind Over Matter” adds veteran weight, and Jimmy Riley’s “First Love” gives the riddim a classic roots-romance touch. Anthony Cruz, Pinchers, Norris Man, Prestige, Josie Mel, Perfect, and Geoffrey Star all add their own angles, giving the release a real juggling feel rather than a single-star showcase.

What makes the package work is that it stays consistent in mood while still allowing different generations and vocal styles to cut through. It feels aimed at selectors and roots fans who want songs they can run back, not just one quick hook.
