A complex and rewarding exploration of the many musical and lyrical themes that tie contemporary reggae and hip-hop together.
-
60All baes covered, an international hit seems guaranteed. [Oct 2002, p.100]
-
70His most commercial sounding material to date. [Nov 2002, p.106]
-
Only the thickly gnarled riddims of the Sly-and-Robbie-produced "You Babe" really sets your ass to swaying -- and in the process, that song underscores just what a weak Storm this really is.
-
70Storm is no Shaggy-style mall-reggae move; its beats and attitude are harder and more streetwise than Beenie's 2000 Art And Life. [Oct 2002, p.116]
-
60Superfine pop moments never stifle the underlying Jamaican flavor... even if Beenie sometimes sounds a bit like a guest on his own album. [#10, p.114]
-
80Tropical Storm should be the album that blows away fans and critics alike.
-
60It's blatant commercial product, something for everyone.
-
70The smoothed-out international pop sound lets Beenie focus on doing what he does best -- making party music for party people.
-
70Don't discount the reggae portion of the program; with island impresario Tony Kelly involved in much of the album, songs like "Party Hard" and "Pure Pretty Gal" strongly affirm the tropical origins of this storm.
