Major Lazer: Free the Universe – review

Dancehall purists should probably steer clear of this Jamaican-flavoured music project from globetrotting DJ/producer Diplo that's designed for the dance music mainstream, more Ibiza than Kingston. The 2009 debut was silly and entertaining in equal measure; album number two ramps up the risibility factor even further and will make most sense at one of the group's barnstorming live shows. Through headphones, much of it sounds overblown (Jah No Partial) or infantile (Bubble Butt, with Bruno Mars). Notable exceptions include Mashup the Dance and last year's gorgeous lead single Get Free, featuring Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors.
