Want You Back Overview

In the year 2000, reggae was moving in new directions while holding on to its roots. The Want You Back Riddim became a key part of this journey. The riddim started with a roots selector searching for a sound that honored classic reggae but also felt fresh. The base was built on deep basslines and steady drum patterns, capturing the heartbeat of reggae. CITY LOCK RECORDS ? took on the project. Known for their work in both reggae and dancehall, the label had already made a mark in the late 1990s by promoting crossover tracks. Their approach brought together tradition and modern energy, and they guided the riddim’s development from the studio to the streets. With a focus on quality and a reputation for supporting conscious music, CITY LOCK RECORDS ? helped the riddim reach listeners worldwide. The Want You Back Riddim featured three standout artists. Cupid brought smooth vocals to tracks like As I Lay Me Down and Near You, showing his range and emotion. Pinchers, already famous for his classic hit Corn Meal Skin, added his signature style and experience. Tony Curtis, known for Love Rush and for being part of the group L.U.S.T., delivered heartfelt lyrics. Together, these artists and the producer created a riddim that captured the spirit of reggae in 2000—timeless, soulful, and full of life.
