Back with producer Haze plus a handful of other edgy beatmakers, reggaeton duo
Plan B continue to combine the slick and the traditional, making music that appeals to the current club crowd while keeping it simple and avoiding those jacked-in, ultra-pop choruses whenever possible. Still, singles like "Candy" and collaborations with
Tego Calderón ("Zapatito Roto") and
Yandel ("Pa'l Piso") are as big as they need to be, so think of
50 Cent's
G-Unit crew when it comes to
Plan B's perfect balance of the street-worthy and the radio-worthy.
Love & Sex continues this legacy, although all the swagger and all the thrills found within suggest that the album's title was printed backwards. ~ David Jeffries
