Paradise Riddim – Unknown

Paradise Riddim is a compact four-song reggae set from 2000, led by Arp’s Mr Joe and rounded out by Jimmy Riley’s Said I Love You, Singing Melody’s My Girl So Fine, and True Jah’s What Is Life. The small artist lineup gives it a tight one-riddim feel, with each singer bringing a different shade of lovers and roots flavor to the same backing. Jimmy Riley adds the kind of warm, seasoned delivery he was known for, while Singing Melody’s smooth vocals give My Girl So Fine one of the more memorable turns on the project. With only a handful of cuts, it plays more like a focused showcase than a big compilation, which is part of its appeal.
