Think Again Riddim – Real Live Records

Real Live Records kept its 2016 juggling compact and vocal-heavy with Think Again Riddim, a rootsy dancehall set that leans more on clean melody and easy swing than on hard-edged aggression. Zagga’s “Victory” and Andi-Ites’ “Make You Mine” sit nicely beside Gregg’s “Real Love” and Solution Reid’s “Can’T Explain, ” with the singers keeping the vibe warm and devotional even when the lyrics turn reflective. It’s the sort of riddim that moves with a steady bounce and a little uplift, letting each voice land without crowding the next. By the time the sequence gets to Navino’s “Your Love, ” Real Live Records has kept the energy balanced and the pacing tight, and the closing instrumental just lets the pattern breathe for a final lap.
