Sean Paul Signs To Island Records, Talks Shakira and David Guetta Collaboration: Exclusive Q&A
Quote:
What can you reveal in terms of collaborations?
I've been working with many different producers -- Da Beat Freakz being one of them. I can speak about a song I did with Shakira recently. I’ve wanted to work with her for a long time and it's a production by David Guetta. I think it’s going to be called “Temple.” It’s more of a dancehall EDM type thing. David Guetta put his special touch on it. He’s a very amazing producer. Just when I thought he can't find no better hook than this one, he finds a better hook. I love the tone of Shakira’s voice. It stands out. She’s an amazing dancer and performer. I always love Latina ladies, so I've been a fan of hers for quite some time.
How do you feel about the current mainstream popularity of dancehall and reggae?
I'm loving the resurgence of dancehall. Right now Shakira is working with one of my old producers from Jamaica trying to find something that's hot and dancehall is hot again. It’s a great resurgence.
