Cornell Campbell - Partime Loving

Review by Bretterick Briggs

Album Review: Cornell Campbell – Partime Loving (1983) Alright, let’s talk about Partime Loving, Cornell Campbell’s reggae gem from 1983. This one’s a bit of a sleeper hit, released under World Enterprise Records in the US, and if you’re into rootsy vibes with a dash of smoothness, this album might just be your jam. Produced by Bunny Lee, who’s basically reggae royalty, it’s got that classic late-night feel but still feels fresh decades later. The standout track here is obviously “Partime Loving.” It’s one of those tunes where Cornell’s voice just floats over the riddim like butter on warm toast. The bassline? Super sticky—like, you’ll be humming it for days. And don’t even get me started on how smooth the mix is; big ups to Professor for keeping everything crisp without losing that raw edge. You can tell Engineer Scientist was vibing hard in the studio because every layer sits perfectly. It’s not trying too hard, y’know? Just good ol’ heartfelt reggae. Then there’s “Part Time Loving” (yeah, same name, slightly different spelling—don’t ask me why). This version flips the vibe a little, leaning more into a dubby atmosphere. It’s like the chill cousin of the original track. I remember spinning this one after a long day, and it just hit different. There’s something about the echo on the vocals and that steady drum pattern—it’s hypnotic. Feels like you’re floating in a reggae cloud. What makes this album stick with me isn’t just the music itself, though. It’s the way it captures this laid-back, no-frills energy. Like, you can almost picture Bunny Lee nodding along in the control room, saying, “Yeah, dat’s di one.” It’s unpretentious, real deal stuff. Here’s the thing: listening to Partime Loving feels like finding an old vinyl at a thrift store and realizing it’s gold. You don’t expect much, but then BAM—it blows you away. Honestly, I’d recommend grabbing a copy if you ever stumble across it. Or maybe just stream it while pretending you found it on some dusty shelf. Either way, it’s worth your time. Oh, and random thought: does anyone else think Cornell Campbell sounds kinda like he’s singing through a dream? No? Just me? Cool, cool.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Cornell Campbell’s album *Partime Loving* has two tracks with almost the same name—“Partime Loving” and “Part Time Loving.” Same vibe, slightly different spelling. Released in 1983 under World Enterprise Records, it’s a reggae gem produced by Bunny Lee. Fun fact—the engineer went by the name *Scientist*, and the mixing was handled by someone credited simply as *Professor*. Classic reggae vibes with a quirky twist!
