Sean Paul, the Jamaican musician who topped the Billboard Hot 100 21 years ago, is gearing up for a 22-date tour throughout the United States, which begins on May 2.
His dancehall anthem ‘Get Busy’ peaked at number one in 2003, promoting dancehall riddims and reggae to new audiences.
Since then, the musician has released six ambitious albums and has married and fathered children.
He believes ‘Get Busy’ is still a classic though.
“It’s a timeless piece for me in terms of, you know, every time I try to do a song, I try to put, you know, the same butterflies that I had in my belly when I was flirting with the first girl on the [first] dance floor,” he says.
The artist is now getting ready to kick off his US tour dubbed the “Greatest Tour”, which will begin in Orlando, Florida and end in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“Why I’m doing it now?” says Paul. “Kind of just, you know, feeling that the people are ready for me again. You know, I did some work with some reggaeton acts last year, and a lot more awareness is becoming, the thing with my career right now again.”
The tour will focus on “good vibes” the artist says. “I think people feel the fun from me and it bounces back and forth.”
