Love Lane Riddim – Reggae Global Entertainment

Glen Washington’s “Bring Your Love On It” is the tune that pulls Love Lane Riddim into focus, and it sets the tone for a compact five-song set from Reggae Global Entertainment in 2021. The whole thing leans into a warm, lovers-friendly reggae groove, with Ian Sweetness on “I Can See, ” Empress Uneek’s “Watcha Gonna Do, ” Mason Di Emperor’s “Ever More, ” and Glen Brown closing with “Close To You. ” It’s the kind of tidy, voice-first riddim package the label has been putting out around that period, less about flash and more about giving veteran singers a clean, melodic bed to work over. Coming in the same year as Bedroom Mood and other Reggae Global Entertainment releases, Love Lane sits neatly in the middle of the catalogue: rooted in classic reggae phrasing, but light enough to keep the vocals front and centre.
