On the Pacific island of Tonga, 'Imisi ("ee-mee-see") means "image." It refers to Genesis 1:27 as the name of this new Polynesian vocal group comprised of brothers David and Jubilee Fohe with Joel Roberts. Produced by Mark Mohr (of Christian reggae band Christafari) and Quino (of U.S. reggae band Big Mountain), 'Imisi started making waves in the Christian and secular reggae scene even before releasing
'Imisi has been perfectly described as "The Reggae Katinas," blending R&B/pop with their south Pacific sound. The Katinas in fact come from Tonga's neighboring island of Samoa, so if you can imagine their soulful pop harmonies set to contemporary reggae and the occasional upbeat classic ska sound, you know exactly what to expect here. And like The Katinas, the Christian messages are very clear-cut, offering simple songs of praise ("Everything," "I Love You Lord"), encouragement ("Go On," "On Your Side"), and testimony ("No One Else," "Best Friend").
If only 'Imisi offered the same variation and imagination as Christafari—"Blue Skies" and "On Your Side," for example, are sequential on this disc and sound exactly the same. This is only magnified with an overlong 65-minute disc that doesn't stretch artistically beyond basic pop reggae conventions. It is nevertheless well-produced authentic reggae paired with typical Christian pop, so anyone who likes both styles should appreciate this.
