You know what they say about things that aren’t broken, and how they shouldn’t be fixed.

It’s a philosophy international dancehall star Sean Paul seems to have taken quite to heart on his third album, “The Trinity.”

He continues with the mix of hip-hop, reggae and dancehall that made his second album “Dutty Rock” a Grammy-winning, multiplatinum success. It’s track after track of uptempo beats and his distinctive voice (although to this set of American ears, it’s not always easy to figure out exactly what he’s saying.)

While none of the songs has quite the immediate reach-out-and-grab-you effect of “Get Busy” off his previous album or “Baby Boy,” his collaboration with Beyonce, there are some standouts, like the first single, “We Be Burnin”‘ and “I’ll Take You There.”

The overall effect is infectious and hard to resist. Be warned, you will be dancing.
