Time to blaze, Imperially

Imperial Blaze, the latest album from international dancehall sensation Sean Paul hits stores across the world today. The long-awaited release from the platinum-selling superstar is his fourth studio album, and was recorded and produced in his homeland, Jamaica, and features 100% Jamaican production.

Producers on the 20-track set include Jeremy Harding, Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor, Delano Thomas, Don Corleon, Craig ‘Leftside’ Parks, Arif Cooper, and Jason ‘Jigzagula’ Henriques.

The album is already available on major music websites, such as iTunes.com, and is also available for digital download from his own website – www.allseanpaul.com.

Sean Paul, who already has Grammy, Billboard, and American Music Award trophies in his cabinet, is the most commercially successful Jamaican artiste of all time – with several chart topping singles such as Temperature and Get Busy, an impressive catalogue of collaborations with artistes such as Beyoncé, Estelle and Blu Cantrell, and a slew of Top Ten hits including Gimme The Light and We Be Burnin’.

Imperial Blaze is expected to do well, continuing the trend of the singles released from the album so far. So Fine and Press It Up have been making chart movements around the world, with So Fine being the number one club song in Germany, and a radio favourite all over the Caribbean, US, and Europe. Press It Up is already finding its way to turntables in clubs and on radios around the world, although it only became available on iTunes last week.

The success of the singles and the expected success of Imperial Blaze are testament to the extensive promotional tour Sean Paul is on, with performances, radio promotions and television appearances.

“It’s been really hectic, but music is what we deal with, and music is what we love, so it has to be done,” SP said about the tour.

“I’m looking forward to today, and I'm really looking forward to a break in my schedule when I can go back to Jamaica and chill out for a few days, until I hit the road again. We blaze imperially!” he laughed.

Tonight, an album launch party takes place in New York City’s Highline Ballroom where Sean Paul will officially introduce his fourth album to the music world.

BRUK OUT IN TIME MAY-HEM

Wednesday, May 20, Kingston, Jamaica (A.I.M Inc.): Amidst a whirlwind of other events, over 1500 patrons chose Bruk Out, the 90’s Overload as the way to party on May 15th, proving for the third week running that Appleton May Daze is the best place to spend your Friday night during the month of May.

The event series is one for the ladies and they know, so much so, that by minutes to 12am, the venue was half way full. The ratio of women to men you ask, that was 8:1 and it lingered in that ratio for most of the earlier part of the night. Largely, the patrons came out supporting the colour theme which was black, - black leggings, sexy black dresses and other black outfits, a fest for the eyes of the male patrons in attendance and they were that much more of eye catch when they started to ‘Bruk out’ to the best in 90’s music.

The promoters assembled some of the best selectors to showcase the best of the 90’s and it was easy to deliver with the musical prowess of Zj Ice, Static Outkasts, Phil Dwag, Colin Hinds and Delano and Dj Blaze representing the Renaissance Sound system. Selections came from reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, disco, R & B and all the other genres that made the 90’s ever so memorable.

The Disco ball that hung high over the venue helped set that ‘throw back’ vibe that Bruk Out was all about, to top it off music videos from the 90’s were being displayed on the screen set up in the video. The featured mix drink was the ‘Della Move’ coined from a popular song from the early 90’s. The mix drink was just as infectious as the dance move and the ingredients ……..”We’ll take it to our grave” commented a member of the bar staff.

Set to create MAY-HEM
