This one comes in with that late-’80s dancehall snap: crisp, catchy, and built for sound system play, with Gyasi lining up ten different voices across the same backbone in 1988. Chris Diamond’s “Waiting For My Baby” and Junior Rodigan’s “Be Happy” set the tone early, while Karl Ranks and Princess Goldie keep the energy moving with “She Loves Me” and “Gucci Hat”; there’s even a little extra lift from the Mikey Jarrett and Princess Goldie pairing on “Downtown. ” Gyasi also worked the familiar “Sweets For My Sweet” title into a new dancehall setting, which gives the riddim a sly nod to an older hit while keeping the production in its own era. The sequence moves from eager lovers rock pressure into cheekier, more playful cuts, so the tracklist feels plotted to keep the mood shifting without breaking the groove.
