Sean Paul - Press It Up
Artist: Sean Paul
Producer: Stephen Mcgregor
Album: Imperial Blaze
Label: VP/Atlantic Records
This might come as a surprise to those who see dancehall music simply as body-moving entertainment, but while you’re shaking what your mother gave you, you’re also gaining a solid grounding in the principles of thermodynamics. Consider Press It Up, the second single off Sean Paul‘s forthcoming senior album: here, the Kingston-born hitmaker illustrates the way in which kinetic energy can be transferred as “heat” from one body to another. Over a uptempo, synth-heavy riddim by Stephen McGregor, Paul explains that, when two formerly isolated systems—for example, himself and a female clubgoer—are put into contact with one another, the vibrational motion of said shorty’s “ass molecules” (technical term) results in a pure heat reaction in which the two bodies move towards thermal equilibrium (as per Zeroth’s law). Got it? Good! Of course, the single isn’t just a clinical exercise in science-dropping; the combination of Sean’s heavily-accented rhymes and the propulsive beat adds up to a cut that’s as danceable as it is informative. For more of Sean Paul’s dancefloor-scorching brand of edutainment, pick up a copy of his long-awaited Imperial Blaze LP when it drops on August 18th.

Sean Paul is a hit machine. I think this will do well as well. I don't find it as appealing as some of his past tracks, but I expect his name to sell this alone, the beat is easy to grind to, this is a no brainer. Play it!

This doesn't distinguish itself from any other Sean Paul song, so why throw it in rotation when I have a handful of others to choose from. It's not a bad track, just nothin too interesting goin on. The track is definitely dance-worthy, but so are plenty of other tracks. Nothing to make it stand out.

i kinda gave up on Sean Paul.
I just haven't heard a decent song from him in a LONG time. i guess, he just isn't goin for anything super catchy. thats what it seems like to me. |

What's with the low ratings? This is a tight song. This should blow up in the clubs (as a lot of his songs do). It's got good energy and Sean sounded good. Easy rotation status.

This will probably hot on the club scene but like what others said..it doesnt seperate from his previous songs. The beat is generic and Sean Paul sounds repetitive at various times. I guess when your music doesnt have that much complexity to start with and you use the same formula every time, there comes a time when you dont have any more tricks up your sleeve. The songs are not looking good today on DJBooth.net based on the ratings..i might change my mind though

This song is only ok at first, but then the beat switches at about a minute in and makes the song Bang a lot harder. This will KILL it in the club. This is a BANGER! New Sean Paul album is gonna be nice...hopefully.

In the club this could be a monster. Not nearly as catchy as his old school material, but I enjoyed this.

With the majority on this one... pretty weak sauce compared to his earlier works.

Dude makes club hits. If you don't compare Press It Up to some of his great work from six years ago, it's a no-brainer banger.

Longtime i been off the booth. Whats up everyone? Sean Paul always find a way to catch my ear. This beat can rock with the rest of the dance-hall deff give it a few spins see if it catches on. I like.

Song does not hit the spot.. just a simple basic song, nothing special. I'm sure the radio will play it out though...
