First it was Lil’ Kim on “Fresh From Yard,“ now it’s the moderately ‘ooh-some’ Janet Jackson. And just as you were thinking it couldn’t possibly get any better for old Beenie, you learn the record was produced by the equally delicious Neptunes. Zigga-za indeed.
It’s a sometimes awkward combination: lilting cool as the water keys and hot as the sun vocals. Hot? Moist? Humid? Call it what you will, with a sunscreen factor of 7 it’s a record that threatens to pour out of a million soft-top convertibles this summer (providing it’s not raining, of course).
A little cookie, a little quirky, a little disturbed, the Neptune’s have managed to graft from the skins of the two perfect black specimens a Benetton coloured box of summer candy.
Let’s just forget everything and everybody and have a party.
You seriously going to argue with that?
The first single taken from Beenie Man’s autumn release Tropical Storm, the Kingston, Jamaica native has not only managed to cull another pretty lady into his fold, he’s also managed to produce a slow-tanning beauty of a single. It might not be the one you remember this summer by, but it’s the one you might most secretly enjoy.
Due for release in August 2002.
