Maxi Priest

Bonafide (Charisma)

(STAR)(STAR) 1/2

Maxi Priest`s debut is an OK collection of reggae-tinged pop. Radio-ready tunes like ”Just a Little Bit Longer” and ”Close to You” are good but they don`t quite compare to the earthier ”Human Work of Art” and ”Temptress.”

What Priest needs to do is give in a little more to his world-beat tendencies. Ratings:
