Okay so, it seems like just a few weeks ago when we last encountered the esteemed Irie Ites as they slooooooooooowly but surely rolled out their latest creation, the ASAP Riddim and now the big label from out of France is, apparently, doing it again as set to drop on the 9th of December is their latest effort, the bluesy Night Light Riddim.
And while I don't know the full line up of vocalists appearing on the Night Light, what I do know is that if they wanted to get my attention with a first single, Irie Ites would have had a very difficult time in choosing a better name than they did as none other than the brilliant Agent Sasco sheds some light in the darkness with the ILLUMINATING 'She's A Saint'. Maybe that girl you met who you think is THE ONE and you're ready to take her home to meet your family isn't quite who she seems upon further review. This is definitely not the type of song I would have expected from Sasco, and I wouldn't have even thought that he would be associated on this project at all as, off the top of my head, I can't think of Assassin previously appearing on any Irie Ites release. If you've followed along with him to any degree, however, then you know precisely the type of mind that you're dealing with here and it is, once again, on a full display as he dazzles. What definitely caught my attention is the shot he gives to older fans as he redoes lyrics from one of his larger hits, 'Anywhere We Go', on 'She's A Saint' as well.
"But a nuh mi mek ya catty waan stray
Nuh mi mek you ah wife it up and she ah gi it away"
BOOM! We'll have to wait a few more weeks to see who else joins Sasco on the Night Light Riddim when it releases fully, but if their past is any indication (and why wouldn't it be), then I'm sure Irie Ites will thrill as they always do.
