– Billboard
“The universe is held together by gravity, electromagnetism, and a worldwide adoration for the music of Sean Paul.”
– The FADER
New York, NY, October 22, 2021. Today, the multi-award-winning and Billboard chart topping, Sean Paul reunites with Sia to release their club anthem “Dynamite” – an indisputable pop banger to round out the year. Produced by Banx & Ranx and Greg Kurstin (Adele,
Pink, The Foo Fighters), the upbeat single relies on dancehall-centric
beats, Sia’s trademark quavering voice as she belts “Light me up and set
me free,” and Sean’s undeniable dance inducing riffs.

The track marks a highly anticipated follow-up collaboration between the genre-bending artists since their smash hit “Cheap Thrills,” also produced by Greg Kurstin, which has racked up over 1.6 billion YouTube views since its 2016 release.
Of
the song, Sean Paul says, “’Dynamite’ started out as just a good vibe
song. After recording ‘Cheap Thrills’ Sia and I knew we would record
another single and ‘Dynamite’ is the second installment.” He adds “Banx
and Ranx, Greg Kurstin, myself and Sia, worked on this single and I hope
people gravitate towards it like our first single. ‘Dynamite’ is
another feel good record for me and I just want to thank Sia and her
entire team, my team Duttyrock, my management team and big up my mom who
introduced me to Sia’s music.”
Sean Paul recently shared cheeky new single “Only Fanz” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Empowering women who creatively earn their living, “Only Fanz” garnered acclaim from Vibe hailing it a “tropical banger,” while Hot New Hip Hop declared it “one of the most fun songs of the summer.”

Throughout
his career, the international superstar has carved a home for himself
while championing dancehall, as being an artist with a unique sound,
look and passion. His ability to show the power and unity in music
through various collaborations, across many genres has catapulted his
career over the years on various charts, awards and with an enormous
fanbase. Effectively Sean has brought that same concept back to his own
genre and collaborated with some of his colleagues in reggae and
dancehall, highlighting that together we can also make great music.
Earlier this year Sean released Live N Livin,
a collaborative celebration of his Jamaican heritage and dancehall
roots in which Sean trades the mic with Buju Banton and Mavado.
Dancehall can be stereotyped as a competitive, macho space where sound
clashes are king, but Live N Livin is
meant to emphasize what’s possible when unity is the goal. “We don’t
need to divide our fans to attain the rotations on the airwaves or
streams,” Sean says. “I hold this album very dear to my heart because it
shows the effort of collaboration over confrontation.”
He’ll bring that spirit to the rest of his 2021 releases, too. Stay tuned for more from Sean Paul soon.
