RadioIndy is pleased to present E.D.Smooth with a GrIndie Award for the CD "True Reflection Of Love "
Chocked full of smooth energy, E.D.Smooth hits the music scene with another vibrant and pulsating Reggae album, "True Reflection of Love." Smooth's vocals are solid and radiate with an easy flowing style, which complement his impressive lyrics that are flooded with his life's experiences. An infectious opener, "This Is Your Moment" is quite effervescent with lively percussive beats, but what catches the ear is the charming lyrics dedicated to a birthday celebration. "All Night" brings out an easy groove as the soft and silky harmonies float over the relaxed and polished vocals. The syncopated rhythms swirl around Smooth's vocals on "Call And Talk To Me," while his lyrics are expressive and ring true to the heart. "I Like It" is well-crafted and interesting with its percussive tones and smooth melody. You won't want to miss listening to the slick vocals of E.D. Smooth and his latest album, "True Reflection of Love," filled with distinctive treasures of charming and stylish Reggae compilations.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jerry Harris with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Mama Roots "
With his deep, gruff, and oh-so-soulful voice, Jerry Harris's "Mama Roots" CD is a funky reggae album with roots as deep as the singer's own legacy. The prolific composer, a fixture in the NY reggae scene since the '70s, has once again delivered an album of potent rhythm and soul, a propulsive mix of Roots Reggae and Rocksteady that reflects the legion of key Jamaican talents he has worked with in 4 decades as a leading and important Reggae artist. Highlights include "Just a Little Love We Need" and the topical "Global Warming," both owing a debt to Bob Marley-influenced grooves, but on "Mama" he shines with a Jimmy Cliff-like pop sensibility that transcends mere reggae-style labels. On "Mama Roots" Harris is once again backed by a stellar rhythm section, typically concise guitar fills, affecting horn parts, and backing vocals from a female chorus that is integral and subtle. Lyrically, there is a '70's-centric affirmative and positive social relevance running through all his songs as he alternately exhorts, cajoles, and pleads for the kind of world that seemed nearer to realization in those more innocent times. Nevertheless, there is nothing out of date about either Jerry Harris' message or the timeless brand of reggae he so effortlessly puts forth. Jerry Harris' "Mama Roots" CD continues an ageless tradition of intoxicating Reggae/Rocksteady music.

RadioIndy is pleased to present K-Bass with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Too Much Negativity "
K-Bass' splendid debut CD, "Too Much Negativity" is an exuberant and invigorating 11-track Reggae / Dancehall, bi-lingual feast of rhythm and melody cast in perfect harmony. Whether singing in French on the decidedly pop strains of "Union Africaine," or in English on the terrific Bob Marley-influenced title track, "Too Much Negativity," K-Bass strikes a balance between cultures that is accessible and profound in its cross-pollinations. The world-pop strains of "Douahode" provides a perfect example of this, featuring an incendiary surf-style guitar solo (reminiscent of Shakira) on a song with Middle Eastern tonalities, while the sing-along chorus of "Yuwa" reminds us that regardless of origins, great melodies cut across culture and ethnicity. Throughout, the band sparkles with stylized textural and dynamic flourishes as background choruses celebrate the inherent inclusiveness at the heart of Caribbean music. But whether it's Reggae, Dancehall, Afro-Beat, K-Bass' "Too Much Negativity" is world class: it's an upbeat, tuneful, completely danceable, and an engaging CD for the musically adventurous.

RadioIndy is pleased to present King Swagah with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Top Dog"
"Top Dog" by King Swagah is a fun album full of dancehall reggae beats that will have your body moving to the groove. The production on this album sounds very professional, with beats and bass lines that dance through your speakers. The songwriting is memorable, with catchy choruses that are well-delivered by the excellent vocals throughout. The title track features Swagah's memorable Jamaican-accented vocals and body-moving beats. "Link Up" is definitely one of the highlights on this album, with a deep, global message. "Suicide Ride" includes a clever backing keyboard countermelody and driving bass line, accented by digital percussion instruments. Listeners who are fans of dancehall reggae, Shaggy, or Sean Paul will definitely enjoy King Swagah's "Top Dog," and should check it out.

RadioIndy is pleased to present 5 Rivers Entertainment with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Righteous Roots Reggae, Vol. 1"
5 Rivers Entertainment Inc. releases the most recent disc "Righteous Roots Reggae, Vol. 1" performed by various artists. As you'd expect from the title, this CD is full of authentic reggae beats and rhythms. Some of the talented male and female artists performing on the CD include Informative Historyman, Dobby Dobson, Odel Johnson, Kingfish Riddim, Spanner Banner, Snatcha Lion, Jahsmin, ChillRootz and L.A. Lallabella from Canada's Moutain Edge Band. The lyrics throughout this entire collection of songs send a message of awareness on many topics. Off beat rhythmic patterns and chanted vocals give spirited grace to "Historyman Chant." "Blazing Jealousy" not only has strong and sincere vocals but the background harmonies add a touch of flavor. As reggae is mostly associated with drum patterns and strong bass lines, notice the incorporation of the strings on songs such as "Foolish Me" and "I Cry." Fans of Bob Marley won't want to miss hearing "Righteous Roots Reggae, Vol. 1" featuring strong vocals and reggae beats from the various male and female artists featured on this CD.
