Despite scoring a string of hits in the late noughties and early 2010’s (including the #1 single ‘Down’ in 2009′), Jay Sean has been relatively quiet over the past few years – most notably after nabbing headlines for suing former label home, Cash Money, for unpaid royalties.. Now, despite years of touring and remaining an international force, five years have separated U.S. fans from new music from the singer/songwriter.
That’s all ready to change with the 37-year-old’s new Gucci Mane-assisted single, “With You.” Featuring a prominent sample of female R&B group Blaque’s 1999 hit, “808,” Sean croons:
“I’m saying yeah / I just can’t get my mind off you / After the sh*t that we’ve been through / I just can’t stop f*cking with you.”
Is it enough to get Jay back to the top of charts? Listen inside and tell us:
I’m all over this Blaque 808 sample. This song is a bop. I’m also here for Asian doll. She up next.
This beat makes me like the song…??
Nope! The original song is too near and dear to my heart for them to ruin it like this.
This song ain’t going anywhere because it samples a song rkelly wrote and produced
