Inspired by Gregory Isaacs

Every roots-reggae crooner owes Gregory Isaacs a debt of gratitude: Few singers in any genre have so effortlessly projected tenderness and sensuality onto wax. Tarrus Riley follows his lead on the soulful "Something Strong", praising long-term romance atop thick, dubby production. Gyptian's "Around the World", meanwhile, draws on Isaac's relaxed delivery, even adding a little falsetto on top.
