Review: 4 out of 5

“When Afrobeats meets the sound of the West Coast. FII3RD latest single “Your Type” blends instruments to create a lush R&B sound. The track is about knowing your type and the qualities that they possess. FII3RD expresses admiration and determination to prove his love.”

      Bootleg Rascal - Sharks (Remix en Español) [Review]

      August 27, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Bootleg Rascal gives us a track that hits like a Bad Bunny/Jack Johnson Reggae fusion. The rhythm and musical groove hook you in and the mix of languages lyrically works well to keep the track fresh and exotic in its sound. This is simply one of those songs that seduces you and gets you singing along even in the places you don’t understand the language. ”

        DYLVN x LALAKI - Girl Of My Dreams [Review]

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Sometimes we find ourselves in a relationship more of convenience than true love and passion. And sometimes while stuck in such a staid relationship we come across that spark of life that lets us know the we need a change. ‘Girl of My Dreams’ is about such an encounter and the daydreaming that comes with such a discovery. ”

              “Difion gives us ‘Blessings’ with this uplifting and positive Reggae track. Riding a tranquil vibe the track offers smooth vocals and a calming beat and melody to deliver a message of hope.

              Staying positive is something we all struggle with at times, and this is the kind of track that can help put your mind in a state that helps with that task. ”

                “This track delivers a nice summer vibe. ‘Turn Me Up’ brings a Reggae sound along with a Pop like vibe that simply feels like the combination of sunshine on your face, and cold beer on your hand. The vocal groove is one that is easy to fall into, and the beat carries you along without effort.”

                  “Nothing can bring out the ‘Goofy’ in a person quite like the initial euphoria of falling for someone new.

                  Mishcatt captures that sentiment so well here with an energetic flow and rhythm that is full of Reggae sound and Pop sensibilities. If you can’t get up and move to this beat — then you are an entirely different kind of goofy.”

                      “This track is an uplifting genre bender that hints at Reggae, Pop, and a vintage Rock sound without ever fully committing to any well-defined genre. The single brigns a big sweeping vibe that almost reminded me of ‘We Are The World’ in its message and spirit.

                      The vintage message at the end of the video is a nice touch that brings the lyrics home quite well.”

                        “‘Reggae Love’ is one of those track that some people might refer to as an ear worm because it settles in your mind and refuses to leave. YOU can;t help but move and sign along to the steady beat and the chorus that comes with it. Somewhat reminiscent of UB40 and ‘Red, Red Wine’ in that aspect. ”

                            “Straight up, low key rock song with a a hint of Reggae and a smooth pop groove to the chorus.

                            There is something decidedly West Cost feeling about this Chili Pepper-esque track. An easy groove to fall into and ride out makes this a track you could roll down the highway with or hang out with friends beer in hand.

                            The current times makes the latter feel especially nostalgic but tracks like this make me feel like we will get back to those days soon. ”

                              The energy is chill even when the pace accelerates. This is a track that makes you ponder after the last beat has faded from the speakers. ”

                                Ijahdan Taurus x Echo Lair - Summit [Review]

                                “Delivering a nice Hip-Hop flow over a Reggae vibe, ‘Summit’ is both chill and intense at the same time.

                                The prevailing mood is calming and smooth, but lyrically the track has a depth that is worthy of deep reflection. Of course you can ignore that aspect and simply fire one up while letting the calm Reggae waves wash over you, just as easy as you can lean forward and dive into the words enough to break down the deeper meaning. That is the beauty here is that the track offers both in equal doses and vocally, the tone is the perfect compliment to both takes.”

                                  “There is a nice fusion of Reggae and Rap to this track. Lyrically, the single is about those fake ass friends we have all had to deal with at one point or another.

                                  Playing off of a Jamaican proverb the chorus is catchy and hooks you easy enough. The track is fairly chill, with a low key beat and melody. Well produced the blend of music and voices is interwoven to perfection. This one is all about mood and vibe. ”

                                    “The body is on fire, the body is on fire with an energetic reggae sound from Monsieur Neige. The sound comes as if drums are being played by hand and he is performing by the beach where everyone can dance under the moonlight. ”

                                      “Bringing a chill Dancehall vibe, Dub FX has given us a classic sound and lyrics that mean more the longer you listen. “There With Me” offers a smooth Reggae sound that is easy to fall into. ”
