Album: Reggae Jammin VOL.4
Artiste: Various Artistes
Genre: Reggae
What defines dancehall or reggae music? Is it an attitude or is it a groove? Maybe it’s a beat that moves you. One thing for certain is that it defies definition, but we know a great dancehall and reggae track when we hear it. Whether they are moving songs about heartbreak, powerful words of inspiration, a to action or simply words that become a global the catchphrase, it all comes down to the right words at the right time to the perfect beat…..and Reggae Jammin Vol. 4 embraces them all.
Highlighting an eclectic pallet of sounds, rhythms and lyrical prowess, the compilation surpasses its predecessors while embracing great songs. The beauty of a great song is the fact that it speaks of a specific time yet has the ability to transcend time itself. From it’s opening track, the Tarrus Riley-led Just The Way You Are to its closure from newcomer Shorti-I with African’s Repatriation, each single on the opus can take us back and connect our lives to a moment that tell tales of all kinds of stories, real Jamaican stories that are almost always true.
First impressions always matter; whether it’s being shocked into loving someone instantly or jolted with a new energy, every love affair has its start and for Reggae Jammin Vol. 4, it all began with the lineup of artists. With the likes of Jah Cure, Movada, Christopher Martin and Richie Spice to Alaine, Aidonia, I-Octane and Chronixx, the soundscape of the compilation gives listeners a sense of comfort as the selected songs will move you, shake you, bring us together, make you lose yourself and find yourself at the time.
