Not quite as solid as Todd Terry's always excellent remixes and singles,
Ready for a New Day still benefits from several collaborations, with divas
Jocelyn Brown,
Martha Wash, and
Shannon, as well as male singers like Roland Clarke (from
Urban Soul) and Bernard Fowler (
the Peech Boys,
Rolling Stones). The appearance of his previous single "Something Goin' On" is welcome, as are two tracks with moderate breakbeats. Though most of the album covers previous territory, that's hardly a problem for a producer of Terry's stature and longevity. ~ John Bush
