Product Description

Whilst those who know and love their dancehall music may well have been gnashing their teeth at the sudden overground explosion of the genre led by Sean Paul and his 'Dutty Rock' album, the truth is that this is exactly what reggae music needs and deserves. The 'Dutty Rock' set got a major label release due to established reggae imprint, VP, signing an astute deal with Atlantic and Wayne Wonder is next up to the blocks to reap his own rewards.
It's the album's 'No LettingGo' track that has blazed a mighty trail right across the States and out to almost all territories. Those unfamiliar with Wonder's previous work have been floored by his smooth, baritone style that counterpoints, in true reggae style, the rough-and-ready deejay delivery of counterparts like Sean Paul, Bounty Killer and others. Wayne's is a style that flourishes amongst the current R'n'B climate, bringing yet another dimension to the works of R Kelly, Jaheim and the like.

The'No Holding Back' album leads with 'No Letting Go' and the quality control throughout the set is jammed to the highest level as Wonder swerves irresistibly through solo joints, party jams and collaborations with the likes of Elephant Man, Buju Banton, Showki Ru and more.

The perfect companion piece to Sean Paul's 'Dutty Rock', 'No Holding Back' completes reggae's twin attack for the summer of 2003.

'03年発表。2002年にAが大ヒットしたレゲエ・シンガーの作品だ。ダンスホール・スタイルなどをまじえながら、バラエティに富む内容で、R&Bなどほかのシーンとクロスオーバーする感覚が。のびやかで、つややかなボーカルが特徴で、切ない曲調も魅力的で、得意技のひとつと言えるだろう。その歌心は時代を超え。ソウル・クラシックスにも通ずるところがある。

reggaeというよりかなりR&B寄りだけど聴きやすくお薦めだと思います☆ただ次の作品ではもっとreggae色の濃い作品を期待したいと思います♪
