The Belle Stars - Iko Iko

Review by Kevin Herrington

The Belle Stars' album, Iko Iko, is a vibrant and energetic collection of songs that captures the essence of the 1980s new wave movement. The album features a mix of original tracks and covers, all of which are infused with the band's signature blend of punk, ska, and pop.

The title track, "Iko Iko," is a standout song on the album, with its infectious beat and catchy chorus. Other notable tracks include "Sign of the Times," "The Reason," and "Sweet Memory."

Throughout the album, the Belle Stars' strong vocals and tight musicianship shine through, making for a fun and engaging listening experience. The production is polished and well-balanced, with each instrument and vocal track given its due attention.
