“We rarely feature covers but sometimes you have to make an exception and if any one is deserving of such an anomaly it is the The Kingston Lions.
This Reggae supergroup utilizes the talent of the best living musicians Jamaica has to offer. Pure bliss, pure Reggae, pure summer vibes. Nothing to critique here so fire one up, grab a Red Strip, and roll in the vibes.”
“Roots of Creation creates a feel good vibe with ‘Move Along.’ At least musically. Lyrically the track is more about dismissing the haters, the dead weight, the roadblocks in your way. There is certainly a freedom in that and the groove here has an uplifting vibe that makes it easy to believe you can simply shrug away all the negative people. Maybe we can. Let’s give it all a shot and simply let the good times roll over us. ”
“We’d all like to find that perfect partner so we never have to ‘Face It Alone.’ In this smooth, Reggae track from Brinson Swann we can feel the tranquil vibes and love roll in like the gentle lap of calm seas.
A love song to share with the one you’d like the walk down the beach hand in hand with.”
“JWADI doesn’t mess around jumping straight right into it on this Reggae heavy Alt Rock fusion. This song is a vibe. I fell in and felt it deep within me. With each subsequent listen I found new lyrical nuances to keep me coming back time and time again.”
“This track might win the timeliness award, but hey is there ever a bad time for a good Murder Ballad with a nice Caribbean flair? I think not.
Add in the rising sense of rebellion given this countries current events and I this track is surely to resonate in a powerful, yet fun way. Macabre power at its best!”
“Izybeats and Stonebwoy collaborate here to bring this Afrobeat Reggae track alive. There is a Pop vibe to go with the track making ‘LOVE’ a genre bending success that should resonate with Commercial audience quite well.
The air of sultry mystery, and an infectious beat are hard to turn away from. This is the kind of track you can hit repeat and listen to over and over again .”
“L’MArco and AshtnMrtn team to give us ‘Jubilant People,’ a Reggae track that speaks to the times and the strong spirit of people who refuse to be controlled. Rhythmic and with a infectious beat this track is one that lingers in the mind long after that last note. ”
“The world is unmistakably fractured and one of the few unifiers is music. I AM SOPHIA address the divided nature of society but offers a plea to ... ‘Meet In The Middle.’
The track has a Retro Soul vibe with a little dash of Reggae to spice up the offering. I have to think Bob Marley would be proud of the talent and of the message. ”
“Recorded live at a Florida Reggae festival this track simply feels alive. Riding a Reggae rock kind of vibe the collaborative effort is born of friendship and respect and decades of honing the craft. A true groove piece that captures the sense of Reggae in a lively and passionate way. The live crowd adds to the atmosphere of the track. ”
“This song may not give you much to write about. However, sometimes its more about listening than writing. Higher Education encourages us to learn more. It encourages us to seek more knowledge. We often may not value the importance of education but it should be something that is free and not bought. Naya Rockers sings about change as well as motivate you to want to learn more.”
“Life can be fun when we aren’t working, sleeping. and working. The reggae beat will make you want to dance to this track even if you are tired. It gives you a burst of energy to get you going and ready for a night of play. ”
“Blending some Reggae vibes with an Indie Rock vibe isn’t new but I hear a lot fo bands try to pull it off an fail. ghost.wave accomplishes it with ease here creating a groove and edge at the same time that hooks and pulls the listener forward. ‘Right Behind’ is the kid of track that often starts as a cult favorite and eventually becomes a true classic to the masses.”
“I like the amazing sound of the chorus. It gives you a Caribbean yet Gospel tempo. It also gives you a powerful and uplifting vibe to want to be loved. However, despite the positive energy in the production I didn’t truly grasp the powerful message.”
“I appreciate Di Ruption incorporating “Problems” as a lyric video. It allows the listener to be more engaged outside of a vibin Reggae beat. Problems gives you a dance tempo over lyrics of pain. As Di Ruption expresses the issues and hurt. To me its like a gospel reggae track. ”
“The way the percussion blast into. your ears from the first seconds, this song takes you on a tropical ride. If Pop and Reggae ton fused this would be the beautiful love child that it created. Croony, yet soothing vocals. Playful piano solos throughout this free flow of island vibes. Peaceful, vibrant music that soothes the soul. ”
“The snares smack you right in your ear drum. This song is fused with instrumental gumbo. From the horns coming in and out. To the symphony style strings that create the melody along with the bass. A playful, easy to learn song. The music along will keep you dancing and jamming. This song is a true party vibe. ”
“Powerful bars with a powerful message. Motivation music. The production is big and gives movie soundtrack feels. Ashes 5thborn is the epitome of “Say it with your chest”. The Regge sample in the back adds even more depth to this mentally stimulating jam. ”
“Cali Reggae at its best!
Roots of Creation are a vibe, and their latest single, ‘Oh Lord’ will take you straight to church. No, not that kind of church. I am talking about the kind of spiritual engagement that goes beyond the walls of any institution and delves into the groove and rhythm of life.
This is the kind of track you jam riding solo, or while stoking an ember on your way to enlightenment. Or you can blast it with friends and all sing along. Either way you will be happy listening. ”
“The writing here and the message of these lyrics easily won me over. I do wish the track had a bit less production as the Autotune got in the way at times, but Ben Barbic overcomes that with his passionate delivery.
The track straddles a Hip Hop, Dancehall Reggae vibe and kept me leaning in for the entire ride.”
“This is a tough track to put a label on. Reggae? Pop Punk? American? There are elements of all three, but no matter what you call the genre, Bedouin Soundclash has given us an infectious track that burrows its way deep down in your soul. “Walk Through Fire” stuck with me through multiple listens and I found myself singing along long after the track had ended. This is one that will continue to impress no matter how many times you listen. A fun, energetic build and easy to join in chorus makes it a clear hit in my eyes. ”
