Album: Reggae Jammin Volume 3
Tads Records
Artists: Various Artists
Genre: Reggae
With artistes such as Jesse Royal, Chronixx and Jah Cure all managing to fill the void between success of chart toppers, while remaining grounded, delivering the best they can to their respective fanbase, they have ignited new life in Reggae music and culture at large; placing it in a stronger position today since the late 1990s.
Compilations such as these embodies the spirit of uniting for a larger vision while allowing lyrical diversity and vocals effortlessly flailing away to pull listeners closer with each passing track. Throughout the compilation you’ll find that no track outshines the other – from Chronixx’ love infusion with Somewhere, a display of Pop palatability with a touch of Soul on Alaine’s So In Love, and revealing a powerful and poetic rendition of Bunny Rugs’ Harder They Come – the track list allows for the album to be a stunning musical ride going far and beyond anything in the Reggae Jammin’ prior arsenal.
Though most of the songs are dated and has somewhat lost its appeal of relevance in the ever shifting Jamaican landscape, Reggae Jammin Volume 3 spins as a concrete compilation of hit-credible, well composed and well-executed songs that Reggae enthusiasts will keep on repeat for quite some time.
