Twice My Age Riddim (1988)

TWICE MY AGE RIDDIM (1988)

Warm, mid-tempo dancehall with a romantic slant runs through Twice My Age Riddim, and that late-’80s Studio One-to-Music Works era polish is part of the charm. The cutlist keeps it tight: Krystal’s solo take on “Twice My Age” sits alongside the duet with Shabba Ranks, while Sanchez and Lady G answer with “Half My Age, ” giving the riddim a neat back-and-forth between lover’s rock sweetness and more playful dancehall banter. The title tune is the anchor here, and the duet version with Shabba has the kind of chemistry that made the song travel far beyond the original 1988 run. Even the version track leaves enough room for the rhythm itself to breathe, with that smooth, rolling groove doing a lot of the talking.
