"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.
