AMG Review of Here Comes the Hotstepper

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

The title track of Here Comes the Hotstepper was Ini Kamoze's big pop crossover hit. Also featured on the soundtrack to Ready to Wear, the song lifts a line from "Land of 1000 Dances" and places it on an infectious dancehall beat -- it's a great single that deserved to be a huge hit. The rest of the album isn't as strong, but there are enough first-rate tracks to make it enjoyable for most fans of the single.
