Precious Riddim – Stingray Records

Stingray Records has cut a long path through UK reggae and lovers rock, and Precious Riddim fits neatly into that lane: warm, melodic, and built for singers who can carry a tune with feeling rather than force. The riddim is voiced by seven artists, giving it the kind of varied but coherent lineup that keeps a modern reggae project moving without losing its identity. Don Campbell opens the set with Wonderful, bringing the smooth, seasoned delivery he is known for. Sandra Cross follows with Revival, a reminder of why she remains such a respected lovers rock voice. Patrick Boothe’s So Amazing and Chardel Rhoden’s Come On Over push the same romantic pulse, while Askala Selassie’s I’ll Wait adds a more patient, reflective turn.

Richie Davis gets one of the strongest titles on the riddim with Precious Love, and Tinga Stewart closes the circle with Tinga Nuh Linga, bringing veteran weight and personality. The tracks point to a riddim that is soft-edged but sturdy, with enough lift in the groove to support heartfelt hooks and enough space for the singers to shape the mood. Stingray has long been associated with roots and lovers reggae projects that favor melody, clean arrangements, and classic vocal craft, and Precious Riddim sits comfortably in that catalogue.
