The Story Of Passion Riddim – Promo CD – 20211

A little slice of late-2000s soca, this one keeps the energy close and the concept tight: three vocal cuts and a version, with Orlando Octave’s “Make Love (Love)” giving the set its warmest push while Multi Symptom’s “Just A Little Bit (Pursuit)” and Kerry John and Makamillion’s “Leave And Gone (Break Up)” lean into the relationship themes the title promises. The riddim itself has that glossy, mid-tempo carnival feel, bright enough for fetes but measured enough to let the hooks breathe, and the promo CD format gives it the feel of a working industry sampler rather than a padded compilation. It’s a compact package, with four tracks in all and a version closing things out, the kind of release that sits neatly in the 2009 soca folder without overcomplicating the picture.
