Shaggy Teams With Akon, Sizzla On VP Debut

August 22, 2007

by Mariel Concepcion, N.Y.

Dancehall superstar Shaggy will inaugurate a new joint venture with Big Yard and VP Records with his next album, "Intoxication." Due Oct. 16, the set is led by the single "Bonafide Girl" featuring "It Wasn't Me" collaborator Rik Rok and Tony Gold. Akon, Collie Budz, Kalonji, Mischieve, Nasha and Sizzla make guest appearances as well.

"While creating the album I wasn't signed to any particular label so I didn't have the usual interference into my creative process." Shaggy says. "That's what I was trying to get back to with 'Intoxication' -- both hardcore dancehall and reggae. It's a climatic musical roller coaster ride for all to enjoy."

Other tracks on the set include the electro-tinged opener "Can't Hold Me" and the club banger "Out of Control" featuring Rayvon ("Angel"). On "Church Heathen," Shaggy criticizes organized religion, chanting "Preachers dip into the collection basket for Benz payments / and women doing the Dutty Wine Saturday night look for salvation on Sunday."

Akon sings the chorus to the breakup song "What's Love," while Budz and Sizzla reggae-chat about social ills on "Mad Mad World."

"Intoxication" is the follow-up to 2005's "Clothes Drop," which only reached No. 144 on The Billboard 200.

Here is the track list for "Intoxication":

"Can't Hold Me"
"Bonafide Girl" feat. Rik Rok and Tony Gold
"Intoxication"
"Those Days" feat. Nasha
"More Woman"
"Woman Scorn"
"Mad Mad World" feat. Sizzla, Kalonji and Collie Buddz
"Out of Control" feat. Rayvon
"Church Heathen"
"Wear Di Crown" feat. Mischieve
"Criteria"
"Body a Shake"
"What's Love" feat. Akon
"Holla at You"
"All About Love"
"Wrong Move"
"Reggae Vibes"

Hopefully he will provide us with another pop moment as exhilarating as "Bombastic" or fun and catchy like "It wasn't me." No "Angels" allowed.

I'm truly interested in this. His voice is helluva unique and his beats are among the best.

ARTIST: SHAGGY

ALBUM: INTOXICATION

Shaggy uses "Intoxication" to once again show that while he and his crew can crank out solid pop, they can match it with cuts that genuinely rock the dancehall. The thing is, everyone knows he can do pop. What he needs to do now is just crank out a full disc of bangers. It's the point proved by his new album's boastful opening track, "Can't Hold Me," and the raunchy rhythm driving the sexy title song. The foundation of the disc is aimed at the airwaves, and a few songs could easily see chart action. Most are collaborations, like the Rik Rok vehicle "Bonafide Girl" (which lifts the guitar part from Desmond Dekker's "007 Shanty Town"). But best is "Mad Mad World." With Sizzla's soulful hook strewn over a Dre-worthy beat and head-nodding rhymes, it's a fusion of both sides of Shaggy.
