NEW DAY RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

New Day Overview

In 2007, the New Day Riddim brought a fresh roots sound to reggae fans. The riddim’s base is a smooth rocksteady flow. This classic style blends easily with hints of dub and modern reggae, giving the project a rich, layered feel. The music moves with a steady beat, but different voices add their own touch. Pressure’s track, “Untitled,” stands out with strong vocals and a message that fits the roots vibe. Pressure is known for the hit song “Love and Affection,” which helped him gain international attention in reggae circles. Tanya Stephens joins the project with “What About You.” Her smooth delivery and storytelling style are well-known, and she has had success with songs like “It’s a Pity,” which reached fans worldwide. Vybz Kartel brings “Standing In The Rain” to the mix. Kartel is famous for his dancehall influence and is one of Jamaica’s most streamed artists. He has had many hits, including “Fever,” and is known for pushing the genre forward. The arranger’s work keeps the riddim tight and balanced, letting each artist shine while holding the roots spirit. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, has a history of blending reggae and dub on many projects. This collection was played in many cultural sets in 2007, showing its wide appeal and strong roots connection.
