Tarrus Riley - Love Situation

Brand new studio release by Reggae singer Tarrus Riley.With his flawless tenor voice and sophisticated soulful pop roots sound, no one makes reggae quite like Tarrus. But he and musical director Dean Fraser have taken care not to repeat themselves. Debut album Challenges stirred an eclectic blend of reggae and pop rock whereas critical and sales zenith Parables played up his cultural side. Third effort Contagious was a sprawling multi-producer ensemble that spanned the clever to the cloying, before the semi-unplugged acoustic stripped everything back for a still lavish mix of songs old and new. Fifth outing Love Situation continues to step away from the glitz in tribute to reggae's forebear � the rocksteady sounds of the mid-60s. Tarrus sailed close to this territory onContagious when he recorded Young Heart over the Heptones Make Up To Break Up for London's bygone rhythm revampers Peckings. Later he guested on his friend Konshens' Rasta Impostor Remix which was an update of a Treasure Isle gem (Love Is A Treasure by Freddie McKay). Now he has taken the concept for a full set � co-produced by Fraser, Tarrus' co-manager Shane C. Brown, Mitchum Khan Chin and Jordan McClure. It's mixed by Brown and joint released by Canon, Jukeboxx productions, BMSG and Zojak Worldwide (who are acting as label rather than distributor for the first time).
