Tarrus Riley - Love Contagious

Tarrus Riley - Good Girl Gone Bad

Singer, song writer Tarrus Riley is a shining star in reggae music. His unique appeal transcends the stylistic range of his music.
Whether on ballads (Cyaan Sleep) or street wise anthems (Protect Your Neck), he connects with the fans. Tarrus invites the listener to go beyond expectations of smooth delivery and contemporary phrasing and delivers positive message music for the 21st Century. Tarrus has been a leading force in re-defining the role and range of a contemporary reggae artist, through the subject matter and consciousness of his songs. Contagious signals a generational shift for reggae’s leading men.

Not even ten chariots with horses can stop this new Reggae voice on the scene… no, its not a novelty act, but one that is destined for legendary status. A ‘natural’ man of superb talent has risen like a Phoenix…some would say, its Jah will. Coming from the combination of a Nurse and a Singer, “healing music” is how he appropriately describes his music. Tarrus Riley has thrown his hat in the race, with a no-doubt approach that says, “I’m here to stay”.

The singer who gave us “Larger than Life” and “Barber Chair” on his first album Challenges on the Yaman Label, is back at it, and even better than before. His sophomore album Parables, is currently being distributed by VP records. Parables…’a simple story illustrating a moral or religious lesson’. The album is suitably titled, as each song is a lesson from the book of life. Boasting 14 original tracks out of 15, produced by the multi-faceted Dean Fraser, Parables is a respectable achievement for this young artiste.
