The Tears of Life riddim features a star-studded ensemble of 10 artists from four countries: the USA, Jamaica, Kenya, and the Bahamas.

His signature style and voice bring a renewed energy to the riddim, captivating both long-time fans and new listeners.
Also featured is Ms. Cathy Matete, a talented and award-nominated artist from Nairobi, Kenya, whose remarkable voice has earned her a place among Africa’s most celebrated reggae talents.

Her contribution to Tears of Life brings a distinct inspirational flavor, showcasing her dynamic style that has earned recognition across the globe. With her powerful vocals, Cathy adds depth and richness to the riddim’s diverse soundscape.
The project was originally conceived as a single, “Love Cry” by Avaran, but evolved into a full-length riddim album as additional artists joined the collaboration. Alongside Avaran, the riddim features contributions from Jamaican soulful artist Kristine Alicia and the unique voice of the Bahamas own Jah Hem, as well as several rising talents from the Bahamas, including Aydee, Rycon and Nevandria Lyric.
The Tears of Life riddim, produced by Preston “Cyclone” Stuart of Cyclone Music Group/Avaran Rolle of Hungrybelly Records and was mixed and mastered by Delroy “Phatta” Pottinger at Anchor Studios in Kingston (Jamaica), also features a special appearance from renowned saxophonist Dean Fraser, whose soulful solos provide an added layer of musical depth. The album is curated by the creative direction of both producers and blends the talents and sounds of multiple cultures to create a truly global project.
