Armed with pan-global jams as fluid as their name is immodest, the Very Best did a respectable job of living up to their boastful moniker on their '08 debut mixtape. After passport issues canceled last October's scheduled date, the Afro-pop/indie-dance trio returns, this time in support of the even more expansive Warm Heart of Africa. The production, by British DJ duo Radioclit, is busy, but rarely feels cluttered — giving just enough space to foreground Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya's honeyed pipes. African rhythms and melodies shake hands with some unlikely genres — dubstep, '80s radio pop, synth-wheezy house — resulting in some of the most far-reaching and straight-up fun party music of last year.
