The Torn Riddim – Gardiphee Music Inc

Gardiphee Music Inc keeps The Torn Riddim in straight-ahead reggae territory, and the song titles lean hard into relationship trouble and spiritual grounding, with Jonicka Scott’s “Torn, ” Cj Priest’s “You Make Me Feel Brand New, ” and Smokie’s “Jah Is My Everything” doing most of the talking. It’s a compact nine-track juggling from 2016, with CJ Priest even doubling up alongside Militant Youth Kj on “Belongs To You, ” which gives the set a little extra weight in the middle. The emotional thread runs from love and commitment to a more devotional pull, so the whole thing feels like a small choir of voices circling the same split in the heart. Ras Ijah’s “For The Children” closes out the listed sequence.
