Global icon heats up 2022 with new album
Primed for a massive summer, multi-award-winning Billboard chart topper Sean Paul will heat up 2022 with his eighth full-length album and Island Records debut, Scorcha, on May 27th.
Additionally, Sean Paul has unveiled a candid behind-the-scenes vignette for the music video of the first single “How We Do It” [feat. Pia Mia].
“How We Do It” caught fire right out of the gate. It has already amassed just shy of one million Spotify streams in addition to gathering over 400K YouTube views on the music video.
Most importantly, it paves the way for more to come from Sean Paul with the impending arrival of Scorcha.
Paul recently earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album for his seventh studio album Live N Livin, which was released in 2021. The album is a collaborative celebration of his Jamaican heritage and dancehall roots in which Paul trades the mic with Buju Banton and Damian Marley. Dancehall can be stereotyped as a competitive, macho space where sound clashes are king, but Live N Livin set out to emphasize what’s possible when unity is the goal.
“We don’t need to divide our fans to attain the rotations on the airwaves or streams,” Paul says. “I hold this album very dear to my heart because it shows the effort of collaboration over confrontation.”
Paul has also announced 2022 US Scorcha Tour dates. Returning to the stage following two years since touring due to the pandemic, he is eager and excited to reconnect with his fans live and in person. Announced shows start April 22nd at the House of Blues Boston and wrap May 29th in Monterey, CA.
Throughout his career, the international superstar has carved a home for himself while championing dancehall, as being an artist with a unique sound, look and passion. His ability to show the power and unity in music through various collaborations, across many genres has catapulted his career over the years on various charts, awards and with an enormous fanbase. Effectively Sean has brought that same concept back to his own genre and collaborated with some of his colleagues in reggae and dancehall, highlighting that together we can also make great music.
