WHO YOU FIGHTING FOR?

Yummy.

WHO YOU FIGHTING FOR? thumps a groove. The verses inject litres of groove into listeners' veins to the point that contentment ensures an apparent "painful" smile. In fact, this "pain" can be diagnosed as an 8-out-of-10 case of UB40 'groovitus'.

AFTER TONIGHT conveys reggae, liberated. Again, the verses almost press your eyes closed to allow maximum sensual energy and concentration to launch itself over to your - now - 'hoppingly'-eager ears.

WAR POEM opens buoyantly and yet almost implausibly untailored and tranquilly. The chorus is lead by sustained trumpet, which is capitalised upon beautifully by a glorious vocal in the chorus. The trumpet marches merrily on through the remaining verses and - inspired - forms an internal symbiotic relationship with beautiful variation in the melody. Emits air-con.

PLENTY MORE. Unassuming tune contrasted with striking lyrics.

REASONS spectacularly introduces - at least to my ears - a fusion of reggae and Bhangra. Exquisite reverb on some fiery Bhangra ad-lib. Beaut.

KISS AND SAY GOODBYE. Sad, but pleasure pleasure pleasure pleasure pleasure love song.
