Reggae Gold 2005 CD

Reggae Gold 2005 songs Just as the NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC series has chronicled top-40 pop through numerous volumes, the REGGAE GOLD compilation discs have long been collecting the best of mainstream reggae in one convenient package. REGGAE GOLD 2002 is certainly no exception to this tradition. The two-disc set features everything from the extremely hip-hop influenced, sample-heavy "Gimme the Light" by Sean Paul to the tradition-minded roots stylings of the venerable Beres Hammond on "Come Down Father," and the feminine perspective on dancehall reggae offered by Lady Saw with the appropriately titled "Baddest Girl." The second disc is something ...

Reggae Gold 2005 buy CD music T.O.K. enjoyed a lot of breakout success in 2001 with their My Crew, My Dawgs album, which was exceptionally popular in the U.S. for a dancehall album, perhaps because it was so poppy. This was prior to Sean Paul's truly massive breakout in 2003, remember, so T.O.K.'s success is all the more remarkable in retrospect. By the time the group returned in 2005 with Unknown Language, however, the dancehall craze ignited by Sean Paul's "Get Busy" and its Diwali riddim had subsided quite a bit, supplanted by the reggaeton craze led by Daddy Yankee and his breakout "Gasolina" single. Not that T.O.K. cared either way, though (even if fans might have, given the long four-year wait). Trend or no trend, wait or no wait, their second album picks up right where their first one left off, with another large serving of catchy dancehall-pop well engineered for both dancing and singing along to. Highlights are plentiful here on Unknown Language, much as they had been on My Crew, My Dawgs. The album-opener, "Hey Ladies," gets the party started right from the get-go. And T.O.K. don't relent from there on, with numerous other standout songs sequenced early, most notably "Fire Fire" ...

Reggae Gold 2005 buy CD music This entry in the long running reggae dance series focuses on subtlety and slow jams, starting with the conscious rhythms of Jah Cure's "True Reflection" and Gyption's "Serious Times," and builds steadily with the revived "Armagideon Time" rhythm of Anthony Cruz's "Inna Dance." Junior Kelly's eccentric vocal stylings carry the lovers rock of "Receive," and Mr. Vegas's dancehall reworking of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why I Love You" is a groove highlight, while the veteran singer Marcia Griffiths makes a welcome contribution to the carefree "Focusing Time."

Reggae Gold 2005 songs The 33rd volume of the reggae hits chronicle kicks off with Elephant Man's infectious 2005 international hit "Willie Bounce," which uses its "Nothing Going on But the Rent" vocal sample to good effect, while Lef Side & Esco and Buju Banton both get mileage out of the popular "Tuck In U Belly" track. Bounty Killer's "Sleng Teng Resurrection" succeeds in reviving that legendary rhythm, Sizzla's breathless anti-gun anthem "Run Out Pon Dem" combines social comment and an irresistible dance track, and his ex-disciple Turbulence puts in a creditable party-mashing performance on "Notorious." Kicking reggae sounds uphold this series' tradition of stellar dance hall entertainment. Audio Mixer: Joel Chin. Editors: Joel Chin; Paul Shields.
