Top 10 Reggae EPs in 2015
EarthKry, Romain Virgo, Omar Perry, Randy Valentine, Bitty McLean and more.
EPs have been popular in reggae for some time now and this year I have selected my top ten favorites. The list includes several debut sets, for example Jamaican EarthKry, The Frightnrs from the U.S. and two bright shining Jamaican songstresses – Toian and Keida.

Artist – EP title
Romain Virgo – Lifted
Blends consciousness and social commentaries with love songs and intoxicating rhythms and it bodes well for his new album.

Toian – Retrospect
Excellent and youthful debut from a fresh new voice.
Omar Perry – Be Cool
Produced by Sly & Robbie. And as usual with this ground breaking duo the set is well-crafted, expertly executed and with intriguing arrangements and song structures. And when Omar Perry shows no mercy on the microphone there is need to put up a fight against a set like this
