Sean Kingston - Beat It
Artist: Sean Kingston
Featuring: Chris Brown , Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Nic Nac and Sean Kingston
Album: Back 2 Life
Label: E1/Beluga Heights/Epic
In the works since way back in 2010, Sean Kingston‘s junior studio album has been plagued with setbacks and false starts from the get-go. Determined to get the project on the release calendar once and for all, the Island-pop mainstay pulls out the big guns on the “official” lead single. (Previous efforts like Letting Go and title track Back 2 Life were apparently just test runs.) In addition to sharing its title with one of Michael Jackson‘s biggest hits, the joint packs not one but two top-shelf guest features; Steel City hitmaker Wiz Khalifa and R&B giant Chris Brown lend their vocals to the record, joining Kingston over Nic Nac‘s simple, yet addictive bassline. Setting aside how disturbing it is to hear Breezy sing about beating anything, the record seems to have all the makings of a hit. Or have I got it twisted? If you’re feeling it, you can stay tuned to our pages for all the latest on Back 2 Life, due out (hopefully) sometime this year.

Totally and utterly predictable and formulaic, but undeniably catchy production.

Very catchy song. The production is very laid back - no doubt in a prime position to capitalize on the upcoming US summer. This should smash the radio and clubs. However, it feels like Sean Kingston played the back seat on his own song. Chris Brown dominated this - it's definitely his lane. Decent track

Not bad. Have not heard anything from Mr. Kingston in a while so it was a good start. I just wish he would put that extra edge on his raps to really make himself excel into the number one spot like he did in Letting Go ft. Nicki Minaj

My bro put me on this song. I have to say i like it even though the song sounds more like a Chris Brown song rather then a Sean Kingston song. Which isn't bad cause i love Chris Brown's music.
