Morning Showers Riddim – Various Artists

MORNING SHOWERS RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2008

Morning light, really. Morning Showers Riddim arrives as a tidy 2008 reggae set with eight cuts and 10 voices, moving from Brian Gold’s easy warmth on “Green And Pretty” to Carlene Davis’ gospel-steady “He Is Your Keeper” and T. O. K. ’s “Breath, ” which gives the whole sequence a bit more snap. The presence of Christopher Martin, D Major and Voicemail keeps it from drifting too soft around the edges, and the Terro 3000 pairings add a looser, slightly crew-cut feel that fits the era. It sits comfortably in that late-2000s run of singer-heavy Jamaican compilation riddims, where melody mattered as much as the groove, and it feels more polished than raw, with the title cut closing things out in a way that rounds off the set neatly.
