Review by Johnno Small

Album Review: Wow by Galaxy P – A Dancehall Gem from Jamaica Released in 2000 under the Kingston 11 label, Wow by Galaxy P stands as a vibrant testament to Jamaica’s enduring influence on the global reggae and dancehall scene. This album isn’t just another collection of tracks—it’s a sonic journey that blends rhythmic beats with infectious energy. The genre leans heavily into reggae roots, but it's the dancehall style that truly defines its character. One track that sticks out is “Volume (Version).” It’s impossible not to remember this one because of how seamlessly it layers crisp production with a bassline that feels like it’s vibrating through your chest. For fans of instrumental versions, this tune delivers exactly what you’d hope for—space to let the rhythm breathe while still keeping things lively. There’s something raw about it; it doesn’t try too hard, yet it pulls you in completely. If you’re throwing a party or just vibing solo, this cut has staying power. Then there’s the titular track, “Wow.” Honestly, it lives up to its name. With catchy hooks and an unshakable groove, Galaxy P proves why simplicity can sometimes be so effective. You don’t need over-the-top lyrics or flashy gimmicks when the beat itself does all the talking. What makes “Wow” memorable is how effortlessly it gets stuck in your head. Days later, you’ll find yourself humming along without even realizing it. While Wow might not reinvent the wheel, it doesn’t have to. Its charm lies in its authenticity—a snapshot of early 2000s Jamaican sound culture that feels both nostalgic and timeless. Sure, some transitions between tracks could’ve been smoother, and yeah, the mix isn’t perfect everywhere, but hey, that rough-around-the-edges vibe kinda works here. Reflecting on Wow, I’m reminded of how music can transport us. Listening to these tracks feels like stepping into a sun-soaked street in Kingston, where life moves at its own pace and every note carries a story. Funny enough, though, my cat seemed more interested in “Volume (Version)” than I expected. Maybe she knows something we don’t? Either way, Galaxy P crafted an album worth revisiting—even if only to share it with your pets. Rating: 8/10
