Purple Skunk Records takes a more melodic turn here, pairing a 2005 rootsy juggling with a title that points to both the warm, laid-back feel of “Tropical” and the tougher edge of “Istanbul. ” Anthony B’s “Don’t Worry, ” Jah Cure’s “What Will It Take, ” and Capleton’s “Loving You” give the riddim its emotional centre, while Bounty Killer’s “Gangster Love” and T. O. K’s bonus cut “Marijuana” push a sharper, more street-level energy through the same groove. The set moves with a light, percussive bounce and a clean bassline that leaves room for the singers to stretch out, which suits the mix of conscious lyrics, love songs, and a few harder dancehall moments. The tracklist runs through 19 cuts in all, including a version side, with Wayne Marshall, Alaine, and Wayne Wonder also in the mix.
