Album features collaboration over confrontation

Grammy Award-winning dancehall superstar, Sean Paul has released his seventh studio album – LIVE N LIVIN, which became available on all digital platforms as of last Friday, March 12.

LIVE N LIVIN is produced by Dutty Rock Productions and distributed by ONErpm. Speaking about his latest album, Sean Paul remarked that, “Dancehall is alive and well. Check the pulse. This album is one I hold very dear to my heart for many reasons. It’s the first album of mine being released off my own label, Dutty Rock Productions, and a body of work that has allowed me to work so closely with artists I revere in my genre.”

The album features collaborations from 22 reggae and dancehall powerhouses like Buju Banton, Damian “Jr Gong” Marley, Agent Sasco, Mavado, Busy Signal, Serani and newcomers such as Govana, Chi Ching Ching, Intence, Skillibeng and several other artistes that play a pivotal role and whose sound remains a cornerstone of the genre.

With a collection of traditional and fresh sound of dancehall. LIVE N LIVIN captures the essence of dancehall and the unity, which exists within the culture.

Collaboration over confrontation undertone

The 16-track album was produced with collaboration over confrontation undertone, 15 collabs and one single from Sean Paul.

In the midst of this great body of work highlighting dancehall from Jamaica, Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy is also featured on the album on the Guns of Navarone remix.

“Stonebwoy, very talented artist from Ghana who always pay homage to the dancehall genre, and visits the island of Jamaica. It was clear to me when he stated he wanted to be a part of this project I could not say no” says Sean Paul.

In describing the album Riddim Magazine said, “Live N Livin is loaded with collaborations demonstrating to the world the versatility and excellency of Jamaican dancehall music. And most important, it demonstrates that unity can be achieved. Sean Paul could easily lean back and collect, but he chose to fight for the genre he loves and address important issues that have stopped dancehall from reaching the top – where it belongs.”

Unable to hit the stage because of COVID-19

With over one year at home, due to the pandemic, like many artists, Sean Paul has been unable to hit the stage and tour vigorously as he is used to. Using his time to record two albums, LIVE N LIVIN and Scorcha, Sean Paul has partnered with Dreamstage and is set to perform virtually for his fans live from Jamaica.

Fans are in luck as they will get to teleport to the Caribbean for feel-good music through Dreamstage’s superior hi-def visual virtual concert stage that brings dancehall ambassador Sean Paul and surprise musical guests into homes where fans can dance like no one’s watching in unison with others. He will perform live from the sandy beaches of Jamaica on Saturday, April 10. www.dreamstage.live
