But while this collection's first single, So Fine, has proved popular in provincial clubs, and She Want Me will have more than a few people busting bad dance moves, one comes away from the experience feeling that this 22-track album boasts quantity but little quality. Decent production from Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor, Don Corleon and Jeremy Harding elevates a handful of tracks to a level appropriate for an artist of Paul's profile. Check Paul's track Pepperpot for evidence of this unexpected, and unwanted, parallel.Įfforts like Hold My Hand, featuring Keri Hilson, edge close to a more traditional reggae approach, as previously heard four years ago on third album The Trinity's highlight, Never Gonna Be the Same. In fact, anyone who processes the more acceptable, older material may find themselves reeling as they realise the closest thing to Sean Paul in 2009 is the more-than-cringe-worthy Sean Kingston, best known for his number one single of 2007, Beautiful Girls. And, sadly, none of these come close to his classics from 2002's breakthrough album Dutty Rock - the likes of Get Busy and Like Glue. He has over 20 Top 40 singles to his name, and has worked with Beyonc, Sia, Clean Bandit, Rihanna and Little Mix.
The song was one of the many hits from the jumpy handclap riddim known as the Diwali Riddim, produced by then-newcomer Steven 'Lenky' Marsden, and was the only song that never made the 'Diwali' rhythm album on Greensleeves Records as it was more than likely a late entry. Sean Paul is a Jamaican rapper who scored his very first hit in the UK in 2002. And on this, his fourth studio album, there's simply no let up of the pop fodder.ĭespite claims a couple of years back that we could expect an array of diatribes on the issues and violence facing the youth of Jamaica, Imperial Blaze features more of the club hopefuls fans of Paul have come to expect. 'Get Busy' is a dancehall song by Jamaican reggae toaster Sean Paul, from his album Dutty Rock.
He's the guy that made club reggae cool but no longer promotes excitement among, well, anyone this writer knows. He's the mum-friendly dancehall artist that your indie-loving flatmate wants to hear at a party. Along with Red Stripe, Sean Paul is one of the few Jamaican exports you'd expect to find in a bar.
