Bottom-line: A project worth listening to.

Review: I can jump for joy in the sense that either this album is much better than Coco or the joy I feel is simply from the fact that the homeless smelling dude broke the f out. Either way my mood has improved. There are more songs on the album that I enjoyed and even allowed to play all the way through.

Fearless, You Got Me, I Never Told You, and Break Through are songs that stood out. I just wanted to take a second to understand the way Non-Caribbean folks use record Reggae music? The fake accents. The cheesy sound. What is the motivation? Did folks go on a trip to an island and decided that they “needed” to make a ‘Reggae’ single/album? I’m still hoping for the moment when non-Caribbean folks wake up and stop the madness. The overall album gets 7 blades and a B- because it was much stronger than the snooze-a-thon of the Coco album.

blades: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
