SEAN PAUL RETURNS WITH “THE TRINITY”: EAGERLY AWAITED NEW ALBUM DUE OCTOBER 4TH

VP/Atlantic Records has revealed the first details of the eagerly anticipated new album from dancehall reggae superstar Sean Paul. Entitled “THE TRINITY,” the collection is slated to be in stores on September 27th. It will be heralded by the release of the single, “We Be Burning,” which impacts at multiple radio formats on August 22nd. On “THE TRINITY,” Sean Paul delivers more of his ground-breaking, signature blend of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop. 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, 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.” Certified RIAA double platinum in the U.S., “DUTTY ROCK” has gone on to sell nearly six million copies worldwide. It hit the top ten on the Billboard 200, the top five on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart, and spent a remarkable 75 weeks in the #1 spot on Billboard’s “Top Reggae Albums” chart.
