Easy Vibes...
Collection of recent reggae and lovers rock selections. Big contributions from Tarrus, Queen Ifrica and one of the leading female vocalists outta Jamaica the past few years, Nikki Burt. Label of the year for me is Penthouse Records. Veteran producer Donovan Germain's output has increased again over the past few years as he continues to attract reggae's biggest names and best musicians into the studio.

Queen Ifrica is brilliant; her range and depth, deejay, singer, rockstone, chanter.., is exceptional. I saw her onstage with Tony Rebel last month and she stole the show with a storming set, including Below the waist, Genocide, Daddy, Zinc Fence, When Will It... a tru Lioness On the Rise! The Rebel gave a surprisingly lackluster performance, rocking the crowd only at the end with If Jah is Standing By Our Side though they encored well together with a good version of Forever Loving Jah. I'm told by a good friend that they were much the same at Boomtown Fair festival the following weekend..
Preview and buy Queen Ifrica's album Fyah Muma on Flames.
