Love and togetherness have been the theme at the heart of Lover’s Rock since the genre’s inception.
International recording artist Tarrus Riley is set to release his single “Love Salute”.
A contemporary take on Roots Reggae, with an infectious yet familiar baseline. Appealing to younger audiences and traditional Reggae fans, “Love Salute” is a heart-warming track with a powerful meaning.
Keeping with the authentic expression of heavy bass and horns associated with the roots of Reggae’s expression, Kareem Burrell unearthed a classic production from his father Fatis’s catalog called “Hold On.”
The 1997 X-Terminator released original featured the vocals of Marcia Griffiths and the message to not give up hope for what you are looking for.
Tarrus Riley’s consistent musical success in Reggae transcends across roots rock, soft rock, and dancehall.
