C.Y.P. Sound featuring Saritah's "The Waters" slows down to nourish, stabilize, and wash. At a time of year when there aren't that many soulful reggae gems to choose from, here is a slow-burning blessing, meticulously designed and marinated in the time-honored fecundity of roots and dub. It is, at base, not so much a song as a vibration.
French keys wizard C.Y.P. is Australia-based, and the meditative riddim he whips up sounds like it's been yanked straight from the Earth's pulse. You can hear the lineage of the Australian reggae scene in every warm bass pulse and atmospheric dub delay here in Fyah Walk, in the 4'20' Sound. The track's production is sumptuous, enveloping like a duvet, deep but not cluttered, modern but never forgetting its roots.
Then there's Saritah, floating in like sunlight on calm water. Her vocals are dazzling,' 77-rpm angel radio, gliding through the beats with an ease that combines softness and force. She holds lyrics born from consciousness, nature, healing, and feminine power, delivering a message that resembles medicine more than melody. For fans of Jah9, Mike Love, Dezarie, Protoje, or Mo Kalamity, "The Waters" is home. But it can also stand alone, proud, authentic, soulful, and necessary. It's that song that doesn't ask for your attention but earns every bit of it.
There's that unmistakable spiritual undertone to "The Waters." It's reggae that does more than move your body; it changes your brain. Whether on a sunrise walk, meditating, or just trying to block out the noise of life, this track meets you on the level you're on and takes you higher. Throw this into your conscious reggae or chill-out playlists, and let it do what great reggae has always done: heal, uplift, and remind you what's important.
