One of the most popular and high profile of Jamaican reggae vocalists,
Gregory Isaacs
was a rough diamond who clawed his way out of the harsh western Kingston ghetto with an instantly recognizable voice that was wonderfully emotive, expressing both his toughness and determination for betterment, as well as the bleeding heart of a vulnerable lover.
New Dance
is one of the excellent mid-1990s dancehall albums expertly produced by
Anthony Dehaney
, alias
Bunny Gemini
, working as usual with the
Firehouse Crew
, this time with
Fatman Thompson
of
King Tubby
's studio at the mixing desk and guitarist
Lascelles Beckford
of the
Gifted Roots
band as special guest. As usual, Gregory rides the rhythms with considerable aplomb, feeling completely natural atop the hard-edged rhythms and tackling a range of topics along the way. Much of the album deals with love lost, love gained, and love deferred; "Say A Special Prayer" revamps the evergreen "Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On" and "New Dance" salutes the allure of dancehall music in the open air. This is one of Mr. Isaacs' better offerings from the mid-1990s, worth getting to know if you're not already familiar with it, and a must-have if you've worn out your original copy.
