With this album, I wanted to show my genre that we need to do more collaborative work and less confrontation," Sean Paul said.Įarlier this month, the MOBO Awards announced its nominations. It was really a collaborative effort and I'm proud of the recognition we all received. "Everyone I worked with from my engineers to the producers to the artistes, even the person who did the artwork is Jamaican. It features collaborations with artistes such as Buju Banton, Chi Ching Ching, Serani, Govana, Intence, Suku Ward, Busy Signal, Mavado, Skillibeng, Masicka, Squash and Bugle. Live N Livin is a very special project to me, as it is a return to hardcore dancehall," he said. "This Grammy nomination is a special one. The other reggae Grammy nominations are Pamoja by Etana, Positive Vibration by Gramps Morgan, Royal by Jesse Royal and Beauty in Silence by SOJA. That is the most exciting thing happening right now. The whole female fraternity in dancehall doing their thing. But every song that these ladies are putting out is being heard. He continued: "A lot of times the women are noticed for the stage show that they might put on, or for a one or two song.
The bigger story is that they are not only being noticed, but they are being heard a lot more and causing an impact." Not wanting to leave any names out, an excited Sean Paul said "A lot of women have stepped up their game. He hailed Spice for her achievement, but also lauded Ce'Cile, Ishawna, Shenseea, Jada Kingdom and Ishawna and also female recording artistes such as 2020 Grammy Award winner Koffee, Lila Ike, Jaz Elise, Naomi Cowan and Sevana who have infused soul and reggae into their styles. Whether nominated or not in the Grammy Awards, for me the women have won over the past three or four years." Sean Paul's Live N Livin album is also nominated for Best Reggae Album at next year's Grammys. Speaking to THE STAR, Sean Paul, who won the Grammy Award for the Dutty Rock album in 2004, said "It will bring a lot more recognition to the ladies. Spice is the first female to be nominated in the Best Reggae Album category with an authentic dancehall album, 10, which is her debut studio album. Sean Paul believes that with Spice's pioneering foray to a historic Grammy Award nomination, more women of the dancehall genre should gain more recognition.
