Sean Paul Essentials
Playlist - 21 Songs
Dancehall was always worldly, but Sean Paul helped it go global. The handclap rhythms of songs like "Get Busy" proved as irresistible in Sweden as they were in Jamaica. Kingston-born Paul became an international star with Dutty Rock, an LP balancing uptempo dance records with rocksteady throwbacks like "I'm Still In Love With You". The influence went both ways: “How Deep Is Your Love”, a melancholic 2012 duet with Kelly Rowland, sets a syncopated beat under soul-stirring EDM. But whatever the setting, this singer's instantly recognisable croak is a sure signal that you're about to dance.
