Kingston releases sophomore album

Platinum recording artist Sean Kingston returns with his sophomore album, Tomorrow. It is the follow-up to Kingston’s self-titled debut album, was released in 2007, which sold more than one million copies worldwide and generated three back-to-back Top 10 singles including the double-platinum smash Beautiful Girls, which hit No. 1 in 21 countries including the Philippines.

Fire Burning, the singer-songwriter’s first single off the new album, entered into the Top 5 at rhythm and Top 10 at pop radio and was certified platinum by the RIAA in just 10 weeks. In addition to its ascent up the charts, streaming of Fire Burning reached over 13 million in just two months while the video for Fire Burning was the No. 1 most played video on MTV and Fuse for July.

Kingston’s second album reflects the 19-year-old’s growth as a person as well as his evolution as a singer, songwriter, and entertainer. It is a buoyant collection of pop-fueled feel-good anthems and dance-floor clarion calls that bumps everything from electro-pop (the club-banging first single Fire Burning) to rock (Shoulda Let U Go featuring Food Charlotte), to reggae (the breezy Island Queen), to R&B (Wrap U Around Me). It also features the new single Face Drop which is about self-acceptance and shutting down the haters.

“I called it Tomorrow because the album is about everything that’s happened to me over the past two years and how much I’ve grown and changed since my debut came out,” says Kingston. “The songs are about me being hopeful and looking toward the future. We don’t know what tomorrow holds for us.”

The production is courtesy of a host of top-notch producers, including J.R. Rotem (who produced Kingston’s debut), RedOne (Lady Gaga), Wyclef Jean (who also contributes vocals on Ice Cream Girl), Detail (Akon), Lucas Second (Jordin Sparks), and The Smeezingtons (Flo Rida). Through his songs, Kingston lets listeners in on what his life is like through good old-fashioned storytelling.
