Free Music Review: KING-"STONE" YOU ARE THE KING
Hit: 5 Stars
I would classify this as "Smooth Reggae" by King Stone, sweet melody, good for you even if you are not a reggae fun. You can not skip any song. Free Music Review: Good job ruining classic songs...
Hit: 1 Stars
...also, I really appreciate your auto-tuned voice and generic R&B/hip-hop beats. Keep it up, you bright young talentless hack!Free Music Review: Don't believe the hype...or IS there any?

When I first heard "Beautiful Girls" on the radio, I was like, "Who is this butchering Ben E. King's `Stand by Me'?" Then I saw the video, and after I looked at Sean Kingston, I asked, "What's Kenan Thompson doing singing?" All jokes aside, Sean's self-titled album is, well, okay.
I hate to admit it, but "Beautiful Girls" actually grew on me (although I don't understand why MTV blocked out "suicidal" yet they had no problem playing "I had to shoot him dead" from Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call"). Anyway, "Me Love" is pretty interesting too. But when you listen to the album as a whole and especially when you hear Sean talking, you'll realize he's trying to pull a Shaggy: only PRETENDING to have a Jamaican accent (although to his credit, he did spend much of his preteen years living in Jamaica).
But back to the album. There are a lot of missteps on here, like the annoying "Got No Shorty" and the confusing (and aptly titled) "That Ain't Right". "I Can Feel It" lazily borrows Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight", and you would get slapped silly if you ever sang "Your Sister" to a girl; speaking of hard-to-relate-to songs, "Take You There" talks about touring his girl around violent neighborhoods. And Paula DeAnda outshines Sean on "There's Nothin".
There are also a couple of songs that don't go anywhere: "Drummer Boy" and the obligatory we-are-the-world song, "Change". And the final track, "Colors" (a revamped version of an independent track Sean did), is an incoherent mess of a song featuring Kardinal Offishall and Vybz Kartel. You have no business buying Sean Kingston's album if you're over the age of eighteen, so if anything, only buy it as a birthday present for your little sister.

Free Music Review: It's just kind of....There
Hit: 3 Stars
I was not a fan of Beautiful Girls. The song got under my skin and made me grit my teeth. So I was not about to go out and buy the CD over that, however I WAS a huge fan of Me Love. I didn't buy this album, but I've heard it a couple times nad it's not awful. There's not any songs (with the exception of Beautful Girls) that I hate, but there's just not really any I love. (The radio did eventually ruin Me Love for me). "There's Nothin" & "That Ain't Right" are kind of some I catch myself bobbin my head to. I wouldn't suggest buying the album to someone who wasn't a die hard fan, but I mean...if someone gave it to me I wouldn't throw it away.
