Marcia Griffiths – How To Love Again

Penthouse Records lines up Marcia Griffiths on “How To Love Again, ” a fresh single that lands with the kind of polished lovers-rock touch Donovan Germain’s label has long favored. The song slots neatly into the more romantic corner of the Penthouse catalogue, where Griffiths has always sounded right at home, but it doesn’t feel like a nostalgia play; there’s a contemporary sheen in the production that keeps her phrasing front and centre. Coming after recent Penthouse flashback work and the label’s run of revived roots and lovers pieces, this one feels like a clean, present-tense statement from one of reggae’s most enduring voices. It’s a simple release on paper, but in the right hands Marcia can turn that into the whole story.
