Waiting In Vain Riddim (2005) – Charm

Waiting In Vain Riddim by Charm, released in 2005, lines up a warm reggae selection with General Degree, George Nooks, J. C. Lodge, and Richie Stephens alongside a version cut from Maximum Sound. The set leans on a familiar rootsy feel while still bringing a few name artists into the mix, with George Nooks’ What A Friend, Richie Stephens’ Gave You My Heart, and J. C. Lodge’s Someone Loves You Honey among the key cuts. It is also tied to Bob Marley’s Waiting in Vain legacy, which gives the project its title and familiar hook point. Charm keeps the riddim simple and song-focused, letting the vocal performances carry the release.
