K-Bass’ splendid debut CD, “Too Much Negativity” is an exuberant and invigorating 11-track Reggae / Dancehall, bi-lingual feast of rhythm and melody cast in perfect harmony. Whether singing in French on the decidedly pop strains of “Union Africaine,” or in English on the terrific Bob Marley-influenced title track, “Too Much Negativity,” K-Bass strikes a balance between cultures that is accessible and profound in its cross-pollinations. The world-pop strains of “Douahode” provides a perfect example of this, featuring an incendiary surf-style guitar solo (reminiscent of Shakira) on a song with Middle Eastern tonalities, while the sing-along chorus of “Yuwa” reminds us that regardless of origins, great melodies cut across culture and ethnicity. Throughout, the band sparkles with stylized textural and dynamic flourishes as background choruses celebrate the inherent inclusiveness at the heart of Caribbean music. But whether it’s Reggae, Dancehall, Afro-Beat, K-Bass’ “Too Much Negativity” is world class: it’s an upbeat, tuneful, completely danceable, and an engaging CD for the musically adventurous.
