Shaggy's debut album, Pure Pleasure,
has been described as a dancehall album
for those who generally don't care for
dancehall and, to be sure, the CD
managed to reach a lot of listeners who
find dancehall limited and
one-dimensional. The toaster
accomplished this by striving for
variety and being more musical than a lot
of dancehall artists. Plus, the fact
that he is fairly recognizable doesn't
hurt; when other 1990s dancehall
upstarts were becoming Shabba Ranks
clones, Shaggy combined dancehall
aggression with such influences as
Yellowman. Pure Pleasure has its share
of conventional, sexploitive dancehall,
but Shaggy takes some chances on
conscious numbers like "It Bun Me" and
"Give Thanks and Praise" as well as his
infectious interpretation of Prince
Buster's "Oh, Carolina." Pure Pleasure
isn't a gem, but it's an often enjoyable
album that has some variety and does its
part to broaden dancehall
