First listen suggests the Brooklyn singer and MC Santi White has been exposed to the entire Two Tone catalogue by her parents at a tender age, with this album the result. It's a misleading impression: although ska beats may be at the heart of Santi's album, she has an instinct for a great tune that Gwen Stefani would kill for.
From 'L.E.S. Artistes' on, the melodies and hooks don't stop coming, getting almost intoxicating on the insistent 'Say Aha'.
