Sean Kingston
Artist Overview
Riding a generous sample of Ben E. King's classic "Stand By Me" all the way to the top of the charts, the Jamaica-via-Miami-based singer/rapper Sean Kingston was responsible for the biggest summer jam of 2007 with "Beautiful Girls." The infectious pop nugget was marked by a wonderful air of nostalgia, thanks to the King sample, yet also contained a darker undertone concerning the suicidal effects the love of a woman can have on a young man. "Beautiful Girls" was a hit in numerous countries, and rocketed Kingston (born Kisean Anderson) to international stardom. His second single, "Me Love," used the chorus from the reggae-tinged Led Zeppelin hit "D'yer Mak'er" as source material.
