Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental insert). In between, there is footage of different people and scenes of the daily life in the city. Other scenes show them driving around in a red car or performing on the beach. It depicts the duo performing prancing around in a busy African city. Music video Ī music video was produced to promote the single. Its sparse rhythm and chugging chorus will make it irresistible on the floor." Another editor, James Hamilton described it as "deceptively fast mid-Sixties ska sample based crooning and toasting bouncy light cool reggae breeze". From the Shabba Ranks school of mellow laidback dancehall it makes a startling debut." Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update commented, "The waves caused by Shaggy and this duo's previous hit ' Murder She Wrote' should make this a surefire crossover hit. In its original form, this bright and sunny tune will breathe fresh air into any station it graces." Music writer James Masterton noted in his weekly UK chart commentary, "Latest ragga hit to come out of nowhere is this one. Hip-shaking staccato beats are prominent in an arrangement of loopy horns and playful vocals. Jamaica’s most successful Reggae duo Chaka Demus & Pliers, known for their massive hits in the 90s include 'Murder She Wrote' & Tease Me etc. The strong performances do ultimately outnumber the weak, though, making this compilation a worthy acquisition for fans of dancehall and modern roots reggae.Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Leave it to this savvy duo to find a different route for its pop-drenched reggae attitude. By contrast, the self-produced "It Hot" is a gem, as is the swinging and tuneful "Boom Smilin'." The duo's cover of "Twist & Shout" is a fun novelty, while "War a Gwaan" brings a dreader perspective to bear - but is marred, again, by a mismatch between the key Pliers sings in and the key the musicians play in. The hit "Murder She Wrote," for example, is an obvious choice, yet it features some of Demus' most awkward toasting and Pliers' most off-key singing.

The problem is that the material most likely to end up on such a collection isn't always the best they have to offer. Listen free to Chaka Demus & Pliers The Very Best of Chaka Demus & Pliers (Murder She Wrote, World A Girlz and more). But their albums are actually rather spotty, making a collection like this especially welcome. So one would expect their output to be a bit more consistent. It was a top-20 hit in at least six countries, peaking at No. DJ Chaka Demus and singer Pliers are a real double threat: Both are highly gifted artists, one of them a better-than-average dancehall toaster and the other a sweet-voiced crooner with a cool, assured delivery, and they have managed to attract the attention of some of reggae's finest producers, most notably Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. Tease Me (Chaka Demus & Pliers song) ' Tease Me ' is a 1993 song by Jamaican reggae duo Chaka Demus & Pliers, released as the first single from their fourth album, Tease Me.
