[coll]: Reggae singles, Fall 2007 Reviewed by Sadie O., 10/4/07 Mostly Dancehall, Reggae, and a couple of soca tracks. Some of these are hitting the dancefloors in Jamaica right now. Lots of them are very good, some are pretty odd. The first 9 tracks feature a slight remix of the classic Shanty Town music, the last 4 tracks have riddims by Sly and Robbie. No FCCs detected, I like tracks 2, 6 and 11 best, although 21 has points for oddness. 1. 3:40 ***Tracks 1-9 are the Shanty Town Riddim – if you don’t know that song… pick up on it! Dancehall vocals, Rasta message – quite good. 2. 4:12 ****Nutted dancehall vocals, goofy take-off on the original lyrics. Maybe I’m incredibly infantile, but I think this is just great… 3. 3:08 **dancehall vocals and singing, love song. 4. 3:33 ***almost incomprehensible (but enjoyable) dancehall vocals, something about a woman… 5. 3:12 **dancehall vocals, nice voice, come-on lyrics. 6. 3:51 ****really nicely done dancehall vocals with lots of variety. 7. 4:04 **more dancehall vocals, about… I dunno! 8. 3:07 singing about sex, I think. 9. 4:06 ***the Shanty Town “version” (instrumental) – mostly the original music, plus horns. Midtempo and just like sugar. 10. 3:35 ***great soca beat, the clean version of something that I suspect was VERY naughty, now pretty much a dance thing. 11. 3:04 ****terrific minimalist soca beat – resistance is futile! Interesting but mostly incomprehensible vocals. 12. 3:30 **downtempo dancehall, both dancehall and hip hop vocals. 13. 3:38 **classic Ninja Man dancehall tune with new toast, a bit of hip hop rap. 14. 4:02 ***downtempo combo of soca and one-drop skank, very pretty singing, party-time lyrics. 15. 3:03 *fast dancehall, banal “dance girl” lyrics, but rather cool militant riddim. 16. 4:25 **midtempo sweet bubble, pretty singing by long-time star. Simple, nice message. 17. 4:25 ***same sweet bubble as previous track, dancehall vocals, Rasta lyrics about not burning pot plants. Long fade. 18. 4:24 ***long random intro, then slow skank by Sly & Robbie, father and son vocal duet. Abrupt end. 19. 3:53 **syndrum intro, another slow skank by Sly & Robbie (same riddim next two tracks), love song. 20. 3:44 ***same riddim, more syndrum, pretty singing and opportunity to hear the fine music. Mournful lyrics about Baltimore… 21. 3:53 **same riddim, rather freaky falsetto singing. It’s supposed to be seductive, but I find it hilarious… | ||
