For those not in the know, Christopher Martin is a reggae/dancehall singer and songwriter from St. Catherine, Jamaica.

Martin won Digicel's Rising Stars in 2005 (the Jamaican version of American Idol) and is best known for the songs 'Cheaters Prayer', 'Paper Loving' and 'Big Deal'.

One of Jamaica’s most versatile vocal stars, Martin's sophomore album for VP Records entitled And Then is packed pop-flavored mid-tempo cuts the singer calls "sugar reggae."

The album will definitely please core fans (ladies) and attract new listeners (more ladies) based on smooth audio and video productions to support the feature tracks, with his latest hit 'Life' on the Global Warming Riddim produced by Omar Samuels and Corey Stoneman, having launched in mid-March.

The first track we get ushered into is the aforementioned lead single, a cut that is both vibrant and sun-kissed to the fullest extent. Next up is the pairing of the mid-tempo hype yearnings of 'Come Back' and the dancehall reggae of 'Bun Fi Bun.'

The ballad 'Can't Dweet Again' is then seamlessly backed by the lo-fi beats of the mid-tempo ballad 'I'm About It' with an outstanding, absolutely brilliant cover of Mr. Big's 'To Be With You' along next.

A genuine stand out highlight of the album, that's followed by the summery pop of 'Still Got Feeling,' the dubstep of 'Is It Love' and then another great cut in the heartfelt 'True Love.'

The joyous bounce of 'Happy You're Mine' is the backed by 'Mirror Mirror' with the pop reggae beats of 'Don't Tell' along next. The album then rounds out with the gentle ballad 'Tears In Her Eyes,' the beautiful hipsway of 'I'm Tired,' and then the barefoot on the sand as sunset approaches passionate plea to both Heaven and earth, 'I Do It All.'
