Good Life.

Here's some rub-a-dub lover's 1-drop action for that love hangover from this past Valentine's weekend.

Cocoa Tea "Good Life"

Wanna Get Next To You

You guessed it. I got a theme going on here for Valentine's weekend. Here is another great cover of a classic American soul record.

"I Wanna Get Next To You" (click that title to hear the original version) was originally released in 1977 and performed by Rose Royce (of "Carwash" fame).

This 2009 1-drop version is by Courtney John. Definitely check out his album "Made In Jamaica". It's a really good record and it goes against my "there is no good new music out" stance. :D

Courtney John "I Wanna Get Next To You"

If I Ever...

More Valentine's Day vibes.

Another big hit from Sanchez on the Real Rock riddim, Stone Love label.

This song is a cover of the original R&B hit from early '90s group Shai.

ORIGINAL:



Sanchez "If I Ever Fall In Love Again"

I Can't Wait.

Now for some Valentine's Day vibes.

Classic from Sanchez.

"I Can't Wait"

Loving You

"Loving You" by Nina Sky & Notch (of Born Jamericans) from Black Chiney's "Dr. Bird" riddim is yet another great Lover's tune on my list of favorites.

It was originally voiced on Don Corleon's "Drop Leaf" riddim.

Lonely Girl

Big big tune from 2004's "Hard Times" riddim courtesy of Bascom X. Other big tunes on "Hard Times" were "Living In Love" by I-Wayne, "That Ghetto Girl" by Richie Spice, & "That Day Will Come" by Capleton.

This track gets the special treatment because I'm keeping it sexy and romantic for Valentine's Day.

Also included is a way smooth Kenny Meez remix done on Usher & Lil Jon's "Lovers & Friends" version.

*VINTAGE* In Paradise

Old time rockers classic from the late Jackie Edwards.

I'm not too sure if this is a cover of an R&B song, or if it's an original. Regardless, it's a sweet sounding vintage 1-drop selection.

Heart Warmer

Keeping the Valentine's vibe moving, here is a great Lover's Rock mix from Atlanta's own Strika One Sound.

I first heard this years ago while working at Armand's in Philadelphia from my boy, the Soca god, El Professor (He's gettin ready for a trip to Trinidad next week for carnival. No one deserves this trip more than him. Enjoy yourself man!).

Smooth mixing all the way through, you know how we do here at Blood Clot Face.
