No wonder this track ended up on the soundtrack to the dance movie Step It Up. More than anything else, Paul has the ability to churn out songs that can work magic on a dancefloor. Like Punkie, I’m Still in Love With You demonstrates that, while Paul’s mid-range singing may not win any contests, it matches perfectly with springy, playful reggae, be it rocksteady or present-day island pop. I’m Still in Love With YouĪ relic of Alton Ellis’s rocksteady Studio One classic, this track brings together Sasha’s vocals and Paul’s dancehall flow – and it works. Paul has a knack for creating perfect pop songs, and this was a good example. The warmth and fun of the buy out riddim is emblematic of the early 2000s, when dance moves like “ signal di plane”, “ pon di river” and “ row di boat” were running the show in Jamaica. Like Glue demonstrates Paul’s ability to combine incredibly crass and slack lyrics with a rhythmic flow so distracting that listeners are likelier to dance than take offence. Beyoncé reportedly handpicked Paul to appear on this US No 1 and, against a background that encompasses hip-hop, Middle-Eastern sounds and a touch of bhangra, he more than holds his own alongside one of the world’s most famous voices. Baby Boy ( Beyoncé featuring Sean Paul)ĭancehall tends to crossover into hip-hop and pop radio every once in a while, and being selected to add a little something to a Beyoncé track means you’ve got a surefire hit. All icy weather, parkas, adults eating roti upstairs and basement bashment party, it is shot in pre-Drake era Toronto, and includes a cameo from Kardinal Offishall. The video is a love letter to teenage life in suburban Toronto. Get Busyĭriven by Steven “Lenky” Marsden’s Diwali riddim, Get Busy stuck around for a while at the top of the US charts in the summer of 2003. The guitar twang of the buzz riddim is unmistakable, but it’s Paul’s hummable celebration of ganja that makes the tune. Busta Rhymes got in on the action, releasing an official remix entitled Gimme the Light (Pass the Dro-Voisier). Though Paul had been bubbling in dancehall circles, it was Gimme the Light – with which he broke into Billboard’s top 10 – that gave him an international profile. Over a classic Steely and Clevie riddim, Paul provides bouncy verses alongside Vegas’s earworm of a nonsense chorus “she la la la la la la boom boom she lay”. Though Paul first connected with his fellow dancehall star Mr Vegas (together with the American hip-hop MC DMX) for Top Shotter, from the 1998 Belly soundtrack, the real magic happened on Hot Gal Today. Haffi Git Da Gal Yah (AKA Hot Gal Today) with Mr Vegas The track catapulted Paul from Super Cat soundalike to an artist in his own right. Infiltrate was one of his earliest hits, demonstrating the melodic chat style that allows for a seamless move from verse to hook ( Deport Dem is another great example of this phenomenon). Tracks from more than a decade ago still sound fresh today. It’s hard to think of another contemporary Jamaican artist whose hits have such staying power. With a flow that clearly draws from Super Cat, Sean Paul can effortlessly move from bashment chat to melodic hooks his best tunes are perfect pop confections. He’s the master of the crossover: aside from topping the charts worldwide, many of his best tracks remain dancehall staples from the streets of Kingston to the clubs of London and beyond.
