THE SEA – RED STRING RIDDIM produced by TRU THOUGHTS RECORDS 2016
The Sea – Red String Overview
The Red String Riddim, released in 2016, brings together the heart of classic reggae with a fresh, modern twist. The rhythm is steady and rootsy, built on a deep, rolling bassline and crisp drums. It carries the warmth of old-school reggae, but with a clean, updated sound that catches the ear of both longtime fans and new listeners. The riddim’s groove keeps you moving, while subtle melodies and effects add layers that feel new but still true to reggae’s foundation. A standout feature of this riddim is how it connects different artists to a shared musical base. The Sea delivers “Pressure I” with soulful vocals, while Yaz Ale brings their own flavor to the same track, showing the riddim’s versatility. “Like Them A Don” is voiced by The Sea and also by Jimmy Screech, each artist giving the song a unique touch. “Someday” gets two versions as well, with The Sea and Ramon Judah offering different perspectives over the same rhythm. “Still Want More” follows this pattern, performed by both The Sea and Joe Burns, each adding their style. The Sea’s “Walk With Zion” is matched by Mike Wiley’s take, rounding out the set with spiritual energy. Behind the scenes, TRU THOUGHTS RECORDS played a key role in shaping and releasing this project. The UK-based label, known for championing independent and innovative music since 1999, helped bring together artists and sounds from across the reggae and dancehall spectrum. Their experience and vision ensured the riddim reached both core reggae audiences and new listeners worldwide. Red String Riddim remains a strong example of reggae’s timeless appeal, linking tradition with fresh creativity for a new generation.
