Though Buju Banton is an undisputed master of dancehall reggae, his vision is expansive enough that he's able to successfully explore other styles in a way that would seem unthinkable or impossible for virtually any other dancehall star. With his second album for the artist-friendly Anti label, FRIENDS FOR LIFE, Banton lets his muse run unfettered. Though there are enough dancehall-oriented tracks here to sate the faithful ("What Am I Gonna Do," "Get it On," "Paid Not Played"), it's fascinating to hear Banton venture into other areas. "All Will Be Fine" is a rootsy, acoustic tune featuring female choral vocals. The romantic "One to One" finds Banton stepping into Gregory Isaacs-like lovers' rock territory. There's even a ska excursion, as he takes on the old ska chestnut "Feeling Groovy" (not the Simon & Garfunkel hit).
