Summer Love Riddim (2010) – Acoustic Vibes Records

A warm, lightly brushed reggae groove gives Summer Love Riddim its charm, with Acoustic Vibes Records keeping the arrangement intimate rather than crowded, almost like it was cut for late-evening listening in 2010. Anthony Que’s “Stay” sits nicely in that pocket, carrying the same easy tenderness that Stephanie brings to “So In Love, ” while Tanesha’s “Do U” adds a softer, more teasing edge to the set. There are only four cuts here, including the version, which keeps the whole thing feeling lean and focused, and that suits the producer’s approach just fine; it’s one of those small riddims that lingers a little longer than you expect, anyway.
