New York, NY (November, 2021) Love
and togetherness have been the theme at the heart of Lover’s Rock since
the genre’s inception. International recording artist Tarrus Riley is
set to release his single “Love Salute”. A contemporary take on Roots
Reggae, with an infectious yet familiar baseline. Appealing to younger
audiences and traditional Reggae fans, “Love Salute” is a heart-warming
track with a powerful meaning.
Keeping
with the authentic expression of heavy bass and horns associated with
the roots of Reggae’s expression, Kareem Burrell unearthed a classic
production from his father Fatis’s catalog called “Hold On.” The 1997
X-Terminator released original featured the vocals of Marcia Griffiths
and the message to not give up hope for what you are looking for.

Riley’s consistent musical success in Reggae transcends across roots
rock, soft rock, and dancehall. His ability to deliver a contemporary
roots Reggae track is a skill Kareem ‘Remus’ Burrell applauds of Tarrus
Riley. “Tarrus is a musical genius, and it is always a joy and a
seamless musical ef--fort working with him. His knowledge of music allows
the production process to flow easily across all genres beyond Reggae.
To work with a vocalist who is aware of evolution in the genre and able
to use his tool, his vocal where he sees fit is magic” says Kareem
‘Remus’ Burrel.
According to Patricia Meschino, for The Daily Beast, “Tarrus’
impressive catalogue showcases his finely tuned expressive vocals,
which are adaptable to a range of styles from soft rock (“Jah Will”) to
traditional Rastafarian Nyabinghi drumming (“Lion Paw”) to energetic
dancehall (“Good Girl Gone Bad”). Then there’s the EDM power ballad
“Powerful,” a certified gold single produced by Major Lazer, featuring Tarrus and Ellie Goulding”.
In
2021, Tarrus continues the contemporary roots Reggae messaging that he
began in 2004 by encouraging everyone listening to ‘Love Salute’, “don’t
wait until it’s too late to show the people who you love, that you love
them. Salute the ones you love; simple, Love Salute” says Tarrus Riley.
“Love
Salute” is the second collaborative effort between the two second
generation Reggae royalty musicians. Both Tarrus and Kareem agree that
the world needs to appreciate love in all forms and never take a person
for granted. Slated for international release on November 19th, 2021, “Love Salute” arrives in time for the festive holiday season, which will bring family and loved ones together.
Riley's
history with Reggae hits includes the chart topping “She’s Royal” and
“Lighter” featuring Shenseea. As well as covers and ballads, which
include hits like “Heartbreak Anniversary,” “Superman,” “Human Nature,”
and "Stay with You." Fostering his signature sound, “Love Salute”
showcases the artists musicianship with the songs dub rootsy-Lover’s
Rock vibe that adds a slight Reggae feel.
To
compliment “Love Salute,” the music video will be debuted on Surf Roots
TV on the day of release and will be widely shared on Tarrus’s YouTube
channel on November 20th, 2021.
