...most potent singer of this bunch is Marc Anthony, who describes his August album as "not salsa, not dance, just pop." Anthony, who is said to be planning a duet with Madonna, will have to labor a little harder to introduce himself to English-speaking audiences, despite his fine work on Broadway in The Capeman and several small film roles. "When I go into stores in Times Square and ask for my album, they say it's in the back, in the international section," Anthony complains. "I recorded it on 47th Street!

"Modern Log" featured Perrino in a delirious state of glossolalia, faintly reminiscent of Eddie Vedder in the early and earnest "Jeremy" days.

Hillary gamely crooned a funny, off-key duet with Rosie O'Donnell. She lighted the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree with Garth Brooks under a full moon, and lingered later than anyone expected at a movie premiere...
Compilations are usually hit and miss; on this album, every cut hits. It's often hard to find the latest singles and albums by reggae newcomers in mainstream record stores; Platinum Reggae deftly presents recent work by the most exciting contemporary Jamaican reggae stars. There's a winning duet between vocalists Luciano and Sizzla, a ballad by veteran performer Gregory Isaacs, and wonderful contributions from a host of other artists. It's a trip to Kingston, no passport necessary...
