The album will be heralded by the release of the single, “We Be Burnin’,” which impacts at multiple radio formats on August 22nd. The track’s companion video, directed by Jessy Terrero (50 Cent, Young Jeezy, Chingy), will premiere on BET‘s “Access Granted” today, followed by its online premiere on MTV.com on August 18th.
“THE TRINITY,” which was recorded entirely in Jamaica, the album finds Sean working with the hottest producers on the island’s dancehall circuit, including Steven “Lenky” Marsden, Don Corleone, Renaissance Crew, Snowcone, and others. As for the title, Sean notes that this is his third album, which has been three years in the making, and which was “all done right here in the Third World.”
With the release of his landmark debut VP/Atlantic album, “DUTTY ROCK,” in November 2002, Sean Paul spurred a musical transformation, bringing authentic Jamaican dancehall reggae from an underground phenomenon fully into the mainstream of popular music around the globe. As Sean rhymes on the new album, “We flip the switch and the game just change.”
