Product description CD: Beenie Man,Art And Life .co.uk Warning: Art and Life is Beenie Man's "fusion" album--an attempt to stretch the boundaries of reggae. Those who like their dancehall straight up may find themselves unimpressed. The art that Beenie's created sounds slightly artificial. It's extremely disconcerting to hear "de girls dem sugar" spouting off about "fake-a$$ n**@s", as he does on the "Hate Me Now"-esque "Haters and Fools". Thematically, the album is all over the place with an emphasis on mainstream hip hop and R&B. Apparently Beenie called in his favours for this one. Art features a whole heap of high-profile guest stars, who don't really add anything spectacular to the mix. Two better-deserving Jamaican vocalists could easily have replaced R&B princesses Mya and Kelis. Wyclef's "eclectic" persona is abrasive and Redman's contribution to "Love Me Now" actually manages to come off as offensive. On the plus side, Beenie and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' Steve Perry score with "Ola", a groovy little reversal of Sugar Ray's and Supercat's "Fly". --Rebecca Levine

Dancehall album that reggae fans will like
I am not a hugh fan of dancehall reggae and prefer the likes of Marley,Tosh and Brown.This album though is a great dancehall album as it shows that Beenie Man can sing a little and not shout like other dancehall singers.The tunes are great also and songs like Girls Dem Sugar(a duet with Mya) and Love Me Now are great songs for reggae and r&b fans.
