Griffith – Murderer is a Euro-reggae influenced dance single released in 1999, notable for its blend of reggae-style vocals with late-’90s European dance production. Issued as a CD maxi-single, the track stands out for its catchy hook, laid-back rhythm, and socially conscious lyrics—a fusion that made it a standout entry in the crossover reggae/dance scene of the time.
The single includes multiple versions, offering listeners different moods of the same core track. Each version highlights Griffith’s vocal style, which carries both melodic smoothness and rhythmic urgency. The production follows a classic formula familiar to Euro-reggae fans: skanking guitar riffs, steady electronic beats, and a hook designed for singalong appeal.
“Murderer” fits into a broader wave of dance music in the late 1990s that fused pop, reggae, and electronic elements—a style also embraced by acts like Dr. Alban and Chaka Demus & Pliers. Though the single didn't chart widely, it found a niche following among fans of reggae-tinged club music.
Today, Griffith’s "Murderer" is a rare find for collectors and DJs interested in the lesser-known corners of late-’90s European dance. It remains a strong example of genre fusion done with clarity and style.
