What a year… huh? 2020 will be remembered for many things however one of the most underrated aspects of this past year will be the number and quality of music released. The genres of reggae and dancehall alone has seen over 50 releases and while most people were not privy to the numbers in previous years, 2020 certainly had more fans around the world eagerly awaiting and anticipating every new music drop.
Tarrus Riley, like many other reggae/dancehall luminaries, has given us an impressive catalogue of solid, timely hits. The way we consume music in this new era of streams and plays fosters an insatiable pace for releasing music. Yet even amidst this rapid tumultuous shift to digital, Tarrus, son of Jimmy Riley, has not just kept pace but also represented the contemporary music space in Jamaica through hit singles. It is a commendable feat for an artist to remain consistent and also best themselves with each effort, for such a prolonged period without the help of an album.
