NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, international superstar Sean Paul announced the preliminary dates for his "Tomahawk Technique" North American Tour this fall. The performances will take place across the country in support of Paul's new album "Tomahawk Technique," which hits stores on September 18th. Anchored by the recently released smash single "How Deep Is Your Love" featuring Kelly Rowland, "Got 2 Luv U" featuring Alexis Jordan and "She Doesn't Mind," "Tomahawk Technique" has already topped the charts across the globe after being released with rave reviews.
"I took a different approach on this album in every way," said Sean Paul. "I worked with a lot of pop producers and challenged them to make their interpretation of a dancehall beat while also collaborating with some artists I've always admired but never had the chance to work with. The reaction to the album so far has been incredible but I am excited for it to come out in the States and to be able to support it with a great tour."
Sean Paul, who has sold over 10 Million albums worldwide since bursting onto the scene in 2000 with Stage One, recorded with a star-studded collection of collaborators including Benny Blanco (Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Wiz Khalifa, Ke$ha), Norwegian duo Stargate (Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown) and superstar producer Rico Love (Usher, Natasha Bedingfield, Beyonce), resulting in an album filled with chart topping hits.
"Tomahawk Technique" is the next step in Sean's continual pop dominance, the next in a wave of classic albums that also includes the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning classic Dutty Rock and the platinum smash The Trinity. With an undeniable track record for crafting hit singles as a solo artist, including cuts like "Deport Them," "Like Glue," "We Be Burnin'" and "Temperature," as well as a history of taking other artists' songs to the next level through tracks like Beyonce's "Baby Boy," Jay Sean's "Do You Remember" and Eve's "Give It Up To You," Sean Paul has established himself as one of the seminal pop voices of his generation.
