Free Music Notes for Man with the Fun

Free Music Review: Nice flavor
Hit: 4 Stars

This is not only a good album for reggae fans, but it's also good for anyone that just needs that extra bit of energy to start their day. "Love Will Cross Over" is a good song about his faith in God, "Golden Teardrops" is an interesting storytelling in action, and "Happy Days" features just great music and catchy lyrics from guests Chaka Demus & Pliers (remember "Murder She Wrote"?). Maxi also does a good job with his cover of Sting's "Message In A Bottle". And the title track features lyrics that may seem a little corny by today's standards, but for '96 they were pretty decent.

I knocked off a star for two reasons: the second version of "That Girl" is unnecessary, and I can't figure out what "Frienenemy" is about. But this is still a great album overall. While it doesn't features any jams to the likes of "Close To You" ("Won't Let It Slip Away" comes close, though), none of the songs on here are bad and it's just what you need to have a good time.
