The release of Chantelle Ernandez's debut album was preceded by an long career as a backing vocalist, and in Japan, as a member of UNITZz (a project started by Sly & Robbie), she's even a small star, so choosing 'Gimme What's Mine' as its title isn't completely unjustified. Chantelle describes her music as "reggae fusion", making a comparison with Etana almost inevitable. 'Gimme What's Mine' is a strong and varied debut effort and for each track you might like slightly less (for yours truly MTV prefab tune 'Hipnosis' and the in-your-face title track 'Gimme What's Mine') there are several others you won't get enough of. 'Reggae Reasoning', on the eponymous riddim, remains a top track; in the lovers tune 'Sweet Spanish Man' she declares her love to a Spanish stranger and 'If Woman Ruled The World' shows Chantelle's feminist side. We predict great things for Chantelle Ernandez and we wish her no less than what she deserves!
