This review comes from Picadilly Records...

"Shawn Lee is back with his Ping Pong Orchestra in tow, and goes completely pop! On "Hits The Hits" he drops covers of Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Blur, Badly Drawn Boy, Justin Timberlake, Outkast and many more in his own unique style. The album opens with a collaborative joint featuring piano-master Mick Talbot (Style Council etc) on a version of Outkasts "Hey Ya!" that sounds like vintage Ramsey Lewis. Putting his over-stuffed studio to the test Lee pulls out all the stops on an album that includes a surf guitar-driven cover of Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On", a full-on psychedelic sitar flavoured take on Britney's "Toxic", and stripped-down super funky versions of the Kelis hit "Trick Me" and Timberlake's "Rock Your Body".
