Tarrus Riley, once again honoring the ladies
Chart-topping reggae artist Tarrus Riley has just dropped his latest single "It’s Showtime," produced by Sean Paul's acclaimed label Dutty Rock Productions. The track is a vibrant celebration of the strength and beauty of women stepping confidently into the spotlight, with shout-outs to iconic figures like Taraji Henson and Meagan Good.
The single is part of the Dutty Showtime project, a reinterpretation of the iconic Showtime Riddim originally created by producer Dave Kelly. In "It’s Showtime," Riley's lyrics pay tribute to the extraordinary women who inspire and uplift, declaring, “now it’s showtime, you are me star girl, flash light, you are the star girl inna me love life."
There are a few added elements and revamps to the original Showtime Riddim. "Big up to Suku from Ward 21, News from Money Matters Entertainment, Copper Shaun, and my brother Jigzag. We all came together on this. We've adjusted the keys and speed to give the riddim a fresher bounce. It's designed to bring a positive vibe every time people hear it", shares Grammy-winning artiste Sean Paul.
The Showtime Riddim has made an indelible mark on Jamaican music, renowned for its timeless appeal and profound influence on the industry. For Tarrus Riley, joining this project is a heartfelt tribute to a riddim who shaped his own musical journey. "Growing up in the 90s, Showtime was one of the top riddims, definitely in the top three for me. It’s a great feeling to be part of this project today and express gratitude to Dutty Rock for the opportunity." he shared enthusiastically.
Riley is renowned for honoring women through his music, with hits like "She's Royal," "Just The Way You Are," and many others throughout his long career.
