Since the mid 1990's Christopher Campbell aka Norris Man has been struggling to secure himself a place in the forefront of reggae music. Throughout to years he managed to draw notable attention with tunes such as "Persistence", "Hold Onto Your Faith" and "Bad Road", and released the critical acclaimed albums like "Presistence"(2000) and "Better Your Soul" (2001), which were followed by the less interesting and more mediocre sets "World Crisis" (2003) and "Hey Woman" (2004). However, it was the Greensleeves released album "Home & Away" (2006) that brought him the long overdue breakthrough to a wider audience as it turned to be his most consistent and best album to date. It was obvious he was on his way to become one of the brightest stars in contemporary roots and conscious dancehall reggae.


Unfortunately this new Norris Man album doesn't live up to expectations raised very high by its predecessor. "Heat Is On" turns out to be a compilation of tracks/singles he recorded for a variety of producers over the past years, and in most cases these kind of (compilation) albums aren't consistent in terms of quality. So Norris Man's new album is a weak collection of tunes?! No, overall opinion is that it isn't... but it could have been so much better!! While songs such as "Never Turn Away", "This Morning", "Let Me Love You", "Just To See", "One Of Those Days" and the 2004 released single "Heat Is On" more or less decrease the quality level, it's good this set includes efforts like the Supa Hype produced "Nah Hold Back", "For You" across the "Endless" riddim, "Praise Jah", "Hold Your Own", "Nah Love We Culture" and the lovers tune "Remember You". These are the kinda tunes in which the potential of Norris Man comes to full expression.


Hopefully Norris Man does himself a favour and starts looking for a producer who is able to give him the right riddims and knows how to get the best out of him, otherwise it's doubtful he will ever manage to become a true reggae star.

There must be some explanation for the explosion, in recent years, of reggae singers who can't sing. The problem isn't necessarily that they don't have good voices -- many of them would sound fine if they'd just train their ears and figure out how to stay in tune (or, in more extreme cases, stay in the same key as the song). Norrisman's weakness as a singer is probably due to the fact that he came up as a chatter, riding dancehall rhythms under the auspices of such A-list sounds as Stacks International and Bionic Steve. On his latest album he's at his best when the DJ part of his singjay style comes to the fore: "Be Careful" is one of several album highlights, and on "Move Hard" he absolutely runs away with the excellent "Redbull & Guinness" rhythm, delivering a spectacular vocal performance with an irresistible hook (and with the obvious help of Auto-Tune, for which thanks be to Jah). The funk-reggae fusion of "Take It" is another high point, and the purloined Studio One rhythm that forms the basis of "This Day" gives that track a nice old-school flavor. Elsewhere, such as on the sour and out-of-tune title track and a so-so combination with Lutan Fyah, he sings more than he toasts, those moments aren't nearly as exciting. A good effort overall.

Label VP
Orig Year 2000

Growing up in Kingston's tough Trench Town ghetto, Christoper Campbell was a Chuck Norris fan. On his strong first album PERSISTENCE, this conscious DJ comes with as much force--righteous force, that is--as a well-placed karate kick from his idol (and stage namesake) Chuck Norris. The powerful "Bad Road" sets the album's tone: contemporary sound, with a classic roots reggae core and universally-themed lyrics. That song proved Man to be a rising artist armed with penetrating lyrics and a dynamic "sing-jay" style (a fusion of chanting with singing).


Man's style is still developing, but the conviction and emotional urgency of his vocals, as well as his rich voice compensate for any stylistic shortcomings. Though PERSISTENCE was released on the King of Kings label, Man is managed by Startrail, the label led by producer Richard Bell, who developed stars like Everton Blender and Anthony B. The album features several Bell-produced tracks: the anthemic "Bright Days," and "Holy Mount Zion," a striking "combination style" (singer plus DJ) featuring ex-Black Uhuru Mykal Rose and Man.


Personnel: Dean Fraser (vocals); Cecile Charlton (background vocals).


Audio Mixers: Cordel Burrell; Steve Ventura.


Personnel includes: Norris Man (vocals); Dean Fraser, Sly & Robbie, Gitsy Lloyd, Firehouse Crew, Young Lions, Steven Ventura, David Madden, Derick Lara, H. Morris.


Producers: C. Campbell, Colin Levy, Richard "Bello" Bell, Steven Ventura, Colin McGregor.
