Pure And Clean Riddim – Soundbank Music

Soundbank Music’s Pure And Clean Riddim sits right in that 2007 roots-reggae moment when conscious singers were cutting clear, steady songs over stripped-back riddims with plenty of space for the message. The set leans on names like Jah Mason, Lutan Fyah, Turbulence and Natural Black, and the mood stays firmly in uplifting territory rather than anything flashy or crossover-minded. Jah Mason’s One Bright Day and Lutan Fyah’s Dip Him are the ones that jump out first, both carrying that stubborn, forward-looking tone that suited the era, while Natural Black’s Special Loving keeps the sentimental side in the mix. Cecile and T. O. K also add a nice bit of contrast, with Cecile’s Nothing Else Will Do giving the compilation a smoother edge. With 11 tracks plus the version cut, it’s a compact Soundbank release from a year when this kind of clean, militant roots set was still finding a strong audience.
