SHAGGY@
Shaggy’s latest album release, “Intoxication”, is a finger in the face of the major labels who doubted his appeal and consistency to serve up a solid dose of “feel good” music. His seemingly uncharted delivery, beckons listeners to follow shaggy as he flaunts his creative freedom, and participates in a guiltless indulgence of the dancehall soundscape.
The album open up with the quite obvious “Can’t Hold we “ in which he taunts doubters and haters alike. “Bonafide Girl”, featuring his compardes, RikRok and Tony Gold is spiced with a rocksteady flavour and flared with vintage harmony, exuding the mainstream potential reminiscent of his sneak monster hit, “it wasn’t me”, which also featured the vocals of RikRok.
The biggest star on the planet in the first half of the decade with a song that; i) Showed the majority he produce a song more notably for it's melody and haunting lyrical content instead of profanity and controversy. ii) Launched the career of Dido who in turn would provide the template for successive Norah Jones's onwards to Amy Winehouse's and everywhere between. iii) Continued the blossoming trend for the ft. credit, despite being a sample and not a duet, which now can be seen in 14 of this week's Billboard's top 40 songs and iv) showed that the biggest rap star in the world could be the biggest star in the world called EmINem.
