Sleepless Nights Riddim – More Life Music | Vpal Music

Sleepless Nights Riddim finds More Life Music and Vpal Music leaning into a mellow, late-night reggae juggling rather than the harder-edged dancehall side VPAL sometimes gets tied to, and that softer mood suits the cut nicely. Fya Rose opens with “Sleepless Night, ” a haunted, reflective tune that sets the tone, while Sugar Minott’s “Lost and Found” gives the riddim some real weight thanks to his veteran voice and the song’s clean, rootsy phrasing. Exodus’ “Should Have Been” and Jah Clive’s “Rasta Queen” keep the lane moving with conscious lyrics, and “No Guns” from Muscle Emanuel pushes the message home without sounding forced. With nine tracks in all, including the instrumental, this 2016 release sits right in that period when digital reggae compilations were still packing in a mix of seasoned names and newer voices.
