OLD RIDDIM VS NEW RIDDIM VOL 1 – SOUL BEAT 2016
Old Overview
When this album collection first dropped, reggae fans quickly welcomed it into their playlists. The response was strong, with listeners praising the classic reggae sound and the way different artists brought their own style to the project. Bb Seaton stands out on this album with two tracks: “Funny Feeling” and “Taking Her Own Life.” Seaton is well known as a founding member of The Gaylads, a legendary group from Jamaica, and his voice brings real roots energy to both songs. Lady Lex adds her unique touch with “Reach My Goal,” showing her ability to blend soulful vocals with reggae rhythms. Dennis Alcapone, a respected deejay from the early days of dancehall, appears with “Oss - Funny Feeling.” Alcapone is famous for his pioneering toasting style, and his contribution here adds a vintage feel. Chris Stylez delivers “Who Told You,” bringing a modern twist while keeping the roots vibe alive. Joanne Highland’s “Taking Your Own Life” stands alongside Bb Seaton’s version, giving fans two different takes on a deep theme. Each artist brings their own emotion and message, making these tracks memorable. The music was arranged by K-Oss, who is known for crafting authentic reggae riddims. The album was released on the K-Oss label, which is dedicated to roots reggae sounds. This collection, shaped by experienced hands, proves that reggae’s foundation remains strong. Even in 2020, it stands as proof of the music’s lasting power and the artists’ commitment to real reggae.
