Nice and Lovely

"Nice and Lovely" is a song by Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy, released as the second single from his debut studio album, Pure Pleasure (1993).

It was considered much of a step away from the simplicity of the first single, and as such, the release was surrounded by controversy.

Charles Aaron from Spin commented, "Fantasy film noir dancehall reggae, with our heroes playing it real cool, ducking in and out of doorways, flashing nickel-plated style.

Talking the sweetest smelling trash this side of Front Street, Shaggy rhymes "chocolate fudge" with "lipstick smudge".

"[1] The accompanying music video for the song premiered in May 1993, and in 2009, was made available via Shaggy's official Vevo account.
