Review by Amit Kooner

Island Girl, released in 1975, is Elton John's tenth studio album. The album features a mix of rock, pop, and reggae influences, with the title track being a standout hit. The album also includes the singles "Grow Some Funk of Your Own" and "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)."

Elton John's vocals are as strong as ever on this album, and his band delivers a tight performance throughout. The reggae influences are particularly notable on tracks like "Jamaica Jerk-Off" and "Mama Can't Buy You Love." The album's production is top-notch, with a warm, full sound that showcases the band's musicianship.
