KING IS TOP OF HER GAME!!!!!!
DEFINATELY FIVE STARS!!!!!!

got this cd as a fluke. have never heard of this woman before and don't particularly care for reggae music. played it while copying to my computer and ended up listening to the whole thing... repeated a few of the tracks several times! there's something here, the rhythm? or rhymes that remind me of mark morrison (return of the mack). definitely worth a listen!

Diana King is one of the best new recording artist to come out of the beautiful island of Jamaica. Her talent and voice range are rhythmic and smoothe with a touch of nautiness in her lyrics. The dance hall syncopation combined with her reggae roots flows vividly throughout the musical selections.

2 stars for 2 songs: "Summer breezin" and "sugar sugar" are really convincing and quite up to the level of her first hit "shy guy". The rest of the album is ok, but not very spectacular and rather boring to my ears.
