Having heard enough hype about American boys, Puerto Rican-born Jean has devoted his latest freestyle to a Caribbean Girl. The track, which is recorded over Estelle‘s hit single American Boy, showcases Jean fusing elements of soul, hip-hop, and R&B into his traditional Latin flair.  Produced by William James Adams, better known to many as will.i.am, Caribbean Girl has the potential to catch many an ear because of Jean’s sonic flexibility. The bilingual artist, who has worked with such artists as Trey Songz, Baby Bash, and Mario Vazquez, will puts his skills as a singer, songwriter, and producer to the test when he drops his forthcoming mixtape, Jeaniusmusiq.

Amanda are you sure his name is not Juan. I've never heard a Hispanic man named Jean. Anyhow, I don't care what his name is, but I do know he can sing. I like the twist he added to this track.

This is decent. I like the twist....but yo! DJZ, I'm finna send you an exclusive right now since this track just surfaced. Andreena Mill ft. Famous. CANADIAN BOY! It's such a hot track. I'm sending it immediately.

This joint right here is straight, but lacks energy to really keep me interested.

I like this cats voice. I actually think his version is better than ol girls version. Micheal Jackson type tone, speakin of which, he woulda killed this beat himself.

I actually really enjoy the soft feel to this song, and I see what your saying about Michael Jackson. And yes, Michael Jackson would kill a lot of beats.

Jean did a good job here. The beat is smooth. He can sing really well too.

This remix is pretty cool. I like the concept he flipped, but he needs to come out with his own material soon to stay in the spotlight. Message to Jean- we all know who you are now, drop somethin of your own before we forget about you! This is hot

I love how he flips the song. I think his voice works real well, but the real start undoubtedly is will.i.am. It speaks volumes when someone can produce a track and that track can easily be redone into another hit record. As for Jean, cb126405, this is just the beginning of his run in the Booth. OH, and jesavail, yes... Amanada is sure! Ha.

I honestly like this freestyle more than the original Estelle's success...I can't stand that song coz I don't like how she sings (although I recognise she has a very good voice) and this dude flows better than Kanye, or at least I like him more than West...this is in rotation, he has a cool voice and it fits the beat! ;)

I wished he had a base track of his own to put this on, but it's a cool, summer-time joint. Big ups to ALL my Caribbean peoples!!!!

I'll have to give this a 3, While it is smooth with the voice, lyrics aren't too original. I like it so i will put it in Rotation definitely. However, not a WOW. Good track :)
