Free Music Notes for Sean Kingston
Free Music Review: Best hip-hop debut thus far this year.
Hit: 5 Stars
Sean Kingston burst onto the scene recently with the summer-hit, Beautiful Girls. Signed to producer JR Rotem's label, Beluga Heights, Kingston gets his entire album produced by the underrated beatsmith. At only seventeen years old, Sean Kingston displays tremendous talent for such a young act, and is skilled in both crooning and rapping. While his commercial success will inevitably bring about many haters and imitators, Sean Kingston shows on this stellar debut that he'll be here for years beyond this release.
After a brief intro, the album opens up to a track that maybe surprisingly to people who only know Sean for Beautiful Girls; a rap track. Sean actually has a well developed flow, and his Jamaican accent certainly adds to the infectiousness of his raps. JR's beat on this track, simply titled Kingston, is a bit harder than what you make expect from the soulful producer; he shows off some of his trademark material on the next track though, Take You There, which also features Sean rapping far more than singing. Take You There is a dope track, and shows off what should soon become Kingston's trademark swagger. Me Love is the next track, and odd as it may sound, samples a Led Zeppelin song. While Led Zeppelin sampled snap-R&B may sound like the strangest experiment in pop music in years(and it is definitely one of them), the ending result is a tight second single. Beautiful Girls follows this track, and you already know this song; it's love it or hate it. I personally love this track, and find it to be the catchiest song of the entire summer. While it may heavily sample Stand By Me, Kingston reinvents it for an entirely new era, and the song may hit close to home with quite a few listeners.
Dry Your Eyes proves Mr. Kingston can certainly get personal, and his rapping on this track, as well as his singing, is heart-felt. JR's production is outstanding, and makes it hard to believe how few emcees and singers have gone to him at this point for their next big single. Got No Shorty is a banging track that'll surely ignite clubs within the months to come, and it features some of the nicest production I've heard on any track all year, and is easily dancable. There's Nothin' is a nice duet with the sexy Paula DeAnda, and the two young singers bring their a-game to this song. I Can Feel It features a predictable Phil Collins sample; while it's predictable, it definitely doesn't detract from the song, and actually boosts the quality.
Drummer Boy is a nice track, while Your Sister is another potential club banger; and while the subject matter may seem quirky, it's unexplored at the very least. That Ain't Right is another more rap-driven track, and Sean raps in what has, at this point, become his signature sing-song flow. Change is a good album closer, in which Sean reflects on wishing he had the power to change the world in a smooth tone. While I say that's the album closer, the Colors remix is also next with reggae artists, and the original Colors with Game and Rick Ross is a bonus track. Both of these songs are tight, hardcore fare that may not appeal to his mainstream fanbase, but certainly help balance this young artist.
In a year full of half-hearted hip-hop debuts, Sean Kingston emerges as unique act in an overcrowded market. While he may attract unnecessary criticism, rest assured that this is one of the finest albums of the year.
Sean Kingston Poster
Sean Kingston, a 17 year old native of Jamaica is not just a new face in popular music, he's accomplished the rare task of creating a new genre where rap, reggae, dancehall, pop, a touch of doo-wop and remarkable songwriting all combined into something totally fresh. Add in Sean's family roots which cite reggae king Buju Banton as his uncle and Jamaican legendary producer Jack Ruby as his grandfather and you have one of the most exciting debuts this year.If Sean Kingston weren't 17, baby-faced, and blessed with a voice like Akon's but sweeter, "Beautiful Girls"--the airwave-dominating, maniacally catchy ditty off his debut album that finds him wallowing over a long line of babes bent on dumping him--might have bombed. It's the package that makes the song, and the many others like it on this destined-for-hugeness disc, work: Take away the youthful pout and the song's innocence dissolves. Take away the lively straight-outta-Jamaica lilt and its summery vibe suffers mightily. Thrown back in, though, these elements bond like KrazyGlue; tracks like "Me Love," which fiddles with Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er" in a looser way than "Beautiful Girls" fiddles with Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," adhere forcefully but playfully to the same part of the brain that Rihanna had been reigning over till now. Still, Sean Kingston's strongest track may be its standout duet--"There's Nothin'," with Paula DeAnda doing her best junior Mariah impression, chugs along as though it's been doused in August sunshine. It'll make a fan out of anybody. --Tammy La Gorce
