Replay Iyaz (CD)

Keidran Jones, aka Iyaz, was discovered by American reggae fusion singer and rapper Sean Kingston in 2008 on MySpace.

Signed to Beluga Heights Records, the Virgin Islander soon became an international star.

Replay has a sound reminiscent of the singles of Kingston and label-mate Jason Derulo. With heavy dance beats and Caribbean sounds, this is an energetic album with tunes that will get people to move.

The title track was released as a single last year and reached No1 in Britain and Australia, and No2 in the United States. Featuring heavy electro-beats and a catchy chorus, it will get people on the dance floor or pumped up at the gym.

Other notable tracks include OK and Heartbeat, which have similar hard-hitting rhythms and high likeability.

However, the album's lyrics are unmemorable. Most of the songs depict the classic tough rapper rendered powerless by a beautiful woman. This overpowers the album. Most of the songs are too focused on his disbelief that he can be with such beauties and delineations of their bodies.

But if you can ignore this, Replay is a catchy, energetic summer album.
