Candyman
Kandiman - Never Pass This Way - Sweet Beat 7"
Last but not least - Kandiman himself with a great song. He's tone
down the Bob Marley thing a bit - which is a good idea. A great set of
productions.
Candyman - Mek We Walk - New Faze Muzic
Candyman - Your Love Gotta Hold On Me - Sweet Beat
Candyman - Back Outta The War -Backyard Movements
Normally three excellent singles would mean three excellent single
reviews, but space considerations mean a three in one effort. The
great thing about this selection is that it's a cross selection of the
three main styles of reggae. 'Me We Walk' has got that kind of laid
back Perry/Wackies/Studio One feel that is always popular. While 'Your
Love Gotta Hold On Me' is strictly ragga and is taken from the 'Marley
Culture'. Finally 'Back Outta The War'comes from a roots session
Candy as voiced the Russ of the Disciples. This is heavy roots, but
firmly in the current old style/ new style. Inspired by the seventies
without trying to recreate them. Excellent.
