No Man Is A Island Riddim – Original Music

By 2005, Original Music had this one riding a warm, rootsy one-riddim groove that leans more on feeling than flash, and the cast suits it well. Courtney Vibes opens with the title cut, Jimmy Riley folds in a faith-heavy turn on “Another Chance To Praise Him, ” and Luciano’s “Let Me Be The One” gives the set its most familiar headliner moment, all carried by a laid-back shuffle and a steady bassline that keeps the harmony cuts front and center. Vinny Taylor closes with “Don’t Break The Trust, ” while the version side lets the rhythm breathe on its own, which is usually where a project like this shows its real shape.
