Love Me Forever (Scientist Mix) is a reimagined version of the classic 1968 debut by Carlton and The Shoes, masterfully remixed by legendary dub engineer Hopeton “Scientist” Brown. This reinterpretation breathes new life into one of Jamaica’s most beloved rocksteady albums, blending the soulful harmonies of the original with the deep, spatial textures and echo-drenched atmospheres of classic dub.

Originally recorded at Studio One under the guidance of Coxsone Dodd, Love Me Forever defined the romantic side of rocksteady, with Carlton Manning and his brothers delivering heartfelt harmonies on timeless tracks like “Love Me Forever,” “Happy Land,” and “Never Let Go.” Scientist’s mix pays homage to that golden-era sound while expanding its dimensions through his signature use of delay, reverb, and creative frequency manipulation.

In this rework, Scientist transforms the traditional vocal arrangements into a meditative dub experience, where basslines pulse with warmth, snares crack like distant thunder, and harmonies drift through swirling echoes. Each track feels newly alive—an exploration of space, rhythm, and emotion that bridges two defining eras of Jamaican music: the soulful serenity of rocksteady and the experimental depth of dub.

Love Me Forever (Scientist Mix) stands as a cultural conversation between generations—a dialogue between Carlton Manning’s soulful vision and Scientist’s futuristic sonic craft. The result is a timeless fusion: romance meets resonance, roots meet reverb, and classic Jamaican harmony is reborn through the art of dub.
