Tarrus “Singy Singy” Riley presents “Haunted,” released by VPal Music and Diwali Records, February 2018. According to Steven “Lenky” Mardsen, this song is presented on EP in five versions to illustrate the diverse styles of reggae music. From classic reggae and DNB to neo soul, there is a musical composition that connects to the desire of every music lover. As such, we believe Riley and Lenky have a massive hit on their hands.
Actively listening to the needs of the new generation, Riley and Lenky have wisely responded by broadening their scope with this deliverable. This level of observation is reflective in the music. In the straight version, Riley’s rich voice is accented by a neo soul arrangement of strings. From the first note the listener is air lifted to a lover’s paradise. Equally relatable, the DnB version will motivate you to find the dance.
Recent reviews of the Billboard charts and Itunes statistics suggest consumers of reggae music are a dynamic group of people. Aligning with the foundation of reggae music, they are far from a static state of consciousness. Rather, there is a depth of intelligence and character which, continuously crosscuts social climates and variables.
Gravitating to the dynamics of reggae, these fans relate to the limitless vibe with a sharp sense of purpose and sensitivity to tonality of the message. With this mindset comes the demand for a selection of reggae music that applies to every situation throughout the day. Respect to Riley and Lenky for being receptive to this cultural shift as reggae continues to take over the world.
