Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra - World of Funk

What more can really be said about this album? It's a fun funk record that isn't the most innovative but the inclusion of world music certainly added a flavour to it that moved it past pretty neat background music to something I might throw on once in a while. I think that it would have been stronger as an instrumental album, but that's just personal preference since the vocals don't weigh down the music at all, they just don't seem necessary to me and a little extra spotlight on the instrumentals is always welcome. I'll go with a 7/10.
