Before I got into bhangra music, there were a few artists who I was familiar with just as names and one of these was most definitely Jazzy B. Mr Bains has been responsible for some of the highest quality music in this industry for a long time, and in his latest offering he shows no sign of letting up. Known as 'The Crown Prince Of Bhangra', I'm surprised that he hasn't become the king yet, but 'Romeo' definitely puts him up there.

The Canadian has been a top-level artist for an eternity and although he looks like he's getting on a bit in the album sleeve pictures, the music and whole production of this piece prove he is just a seasoned professional. He's again got bhangra warrior Sukshinder Shinda on production to get the best out of him and as a duo, again, they don't disappoint.

We start off with 'Dil Luteya', featuring Apache Indian, and almost immediately you know Jazzy is back with a bang. There's a reggae vibe to this and Jazzy's singing is spot on, especially during the sing-along chorus. Apache's input is pretty average as far as he goes, there's yet another declaration that this is another 'crucial collaboration', a line he's been using since he hooked up with Dalvinder Singh over eighteen months ago.

Shinda gets his tumbi and dhol out for track number 'doh', which is called 'Yaari'. There's a dirty b-line that fits in well to the tribal groove, with Jazzy putting some power into his voice and giving a virtuoso performance.

Track three is wicked; a sick desi drum 'n' bass tune entitled 'Rakh Sambh Ke'. Jazzy and a dhol creep up over an airy intro and the beat kicks in to put together a great track. The breaks from d&b into desi work like clockwork and you can tell that Shinda has put some effort into making this work.

Quality continues with number four, 'Bach Bach Ke', which is a perfect example of all out traditional desi bhangra. Jazzy is on fire over the strings and a simple dhol beat which I reckon will be wicked when they hit the road with a live band.

We chill out for the next track, 'Sajana'. The flute draws you in and the bouncy dholki works harmoniously with the violin, with Jazzy holding back to suit the scene for this love song.

'Gabru' comes next with its well-positioned hip-hop breaks and a typical sing-along chorus. The desi vibe is always close to you but the western edge is always underneath. This track always grew on me and the production is simply faultless.

The title track is number seven, with Kalikwest rappers Takeova Ent on the scene. This is pure quality, built on modern urban beats and a superb performance from Jazzy. The rapping sound fits well but is upstaged by the singing. The 'daru daru' bit is electric and this is perhaps the best track on the album.

Then….'brrrrrrrrah', we get some traditional stuff which sounds like a great wedding song. The title 'Nachana' pretty much sums it up, with Jazzy doing what he does best. Another good track, but it doesn't have the spark of some of the other stuff on here.

Everyone seems to keep on saying that desi garage is dead, yet singers and producers alike keep on coming out with it, and Jazzy's contribution is the penultimate track, 'Tappe'. This is more to be listened to rather than a party track, but you've gotta say that Jazzy's vocals are perfect. He may not be a spring chicken any more but the clarity in his voice has never been lost and it's vocal performances like this, which have given him the title as 'Crown Prince'.

A frantic skit is the opening to the final track, 'Soorma', a desi finish to a universal album. Jazzy is upstaged by some good dhol playing and this isn't a memorable track but on most other CDs this would be a highlight.

Jazzy B is one of those artists who have to keep the downloading partygoers happy, but its weird that 'Dil Luteya', the track being pushed from the album, is not the best. In recent times, artists with a similar fan base to Jazzy B have seen their albums fade off the map when you get to track five, but 'Romeo' never seems to lose its way. Hats off to Jazzy and Sukshinder ji for putting together an album which grew on me the more I listened to it, and for this reason, 'Romeo' gets a big 8.2 out of 10!!
