The sixth in Jet Star's
Pop Hits Inna Reggae series, this bubbling set was recorded at the label's London-based Cave Studios, and like the preceding volumes, features U.K. reggae acts covering various pop hits (this time out there are songs originally made famous by
the Pussycat Dolls,
Mary J. Blige,
LeToya and even
Jimi Hendrix, among others) in a generally bright and vibrant manner. In many cases, this brings out hidden corners in the song, although it can also distort and mangle a song's appeal. Luckily the former is true here more often than not. ~ Steve Leggett
