Time to Blaze, Imperially

sean_paul_imperial_blaze

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.
