Sprung Time Riddim – Various Artists

By 2008, reggae was in one of those busy riddim-year stretches where a single rhythm would carry a small stack of voices, and Sprung Time fits that moment neatly. The cut that lingers is Tasha’s “Lies, ” which gives the project a sharper emotional edge than the title might suggest, while pairings like Kt and Spensah on “Heres The Love” and Anisha with Lyrical on “Love In The Air” keep the vocals moving in duets and combinations rather than lone turns. There’s no credited producer name beyond the generic Various Artists tag, but the sequence still feels purposeful: seven vocal tracks, then the version, like the riddim is being introduced in layers before it’s left to breathe on its own.
