This was a fabulous blend of genres and proves that dance music doesn't have to be electronica that can only be enjoyed with copious amounts of drugs. This was a mix of funk, R & B, rap, reggae, dance, and it worked well.
I particularly enjoyed the different vocals on this album, and it was interesting getting an acapella track. I usually associate acapella with groups of white women named the "Pitch Slaps" or something else equally cringey, but this was actually really cool.
So a solid entry, even if I am eager to be finished with the 80s.
RATING: 4/5
