Since taking the pop charts by storm with Beautiful Girls, Me Love, Take You There, and There’s Nothin’, Sean Kingston has been hard at work making sure that his upcoming sophomore album, Tomorrow, is an even more enjoyable collection of hits.  To whet fans’ appetites, the Jamaica native is preparing a prequel mixtape called The Free Album, presumably full of songs that won’t make the official album cut.  Like Kingston’s previous hit singles, Girl I Wanna Know finds his vocals backed up by a beat from in-house producer J.R. Rotem.  To testify to the movement’s expansion from the near-equator to the far north, Kardinal Offishall brings a reggae-influenced verse on which he does some wooing of his own.  So ladies, are you hooked yet?

I was wondering where Sean Kingston went. When it came on, this reminded me of "Sexy Can I". I don't know why...it just sounds like it to me. It's like a Caribbean version of it. LOL. This isn't bad...the production is decent and Sean is straight, though it's not something that clobbers me completely like "DANG! That was hot!". It's nothing like that all. I think Sean could have came with something better than this personally, so I'm not even going to be lenient with the rating. I wouldn't play this again. It only gets 2 stars for being OK. Maybe it's not that fly because it's just a mixtape joint. Kardy was pretty straight though. T-DOT!!!!!

Really fresh summer track, gotta give it to Kingston for crankin out tracks like this. They have an undeniable feel-good vibe to them, which is what music is all about.

Kardinal kills that opening, Sean could have really improved his performance to make this a hit cuz it sounds a bit rushed, but I still dig it.

The prediction is hot and has a nice feel to it. Kardinal's verses were average but its a R&B song so I'm cool with it. Nice combo solid song!

This is a good song, Kardinal is sick at the start & Kingston performs well to a nice beat from J.R., could/should be a hit

Great song... for a throwaway mixtape track. Better than other artist's album tracks. Kardi is the highlight here.

I like the beat and the music, it's the typical one which makes u dance and can go in a club or in the car...but I'm not feelin them! The melody is boring. I only like the bridge with Kardinal. It's in rotation but not my fav song
