Shaggy continues his role as reggae's dominant crossover artist with LUCKY DAY, an outing that finds him once more delving into the dancehall sound. Reggae fans will nod their collective heads in approval upon hearing the righteous collaboration with Barrington Levy on "Full Control," uplifting "Give Thanks," and the feel-good lovers rock of "Strength Of A Woman." That said, pop fans will find plenty to feast on whether its Chaka Khan dropping by to juice up the ribald "Get My Party On" or old running buddy Ricardo "Rik Rok" Ducent pitching in on the hypnotic shuffle "These Are The Lips." Most impressive are the bubbly "We Are The Ones" and "Hey Sexy Lady," a nifty nugget pieced together with Mariachi trumpet, a tango rhythm, and guest appearances by Brian and Tony Gold.
