Jamaican Dancehall singer Sean Paul announced last Friday (3^rd December) the details of his “Scorcha” 2022 UK Tour. Paul will play 9 venues up and down the UK in April next year, including dates in Edinburgh, London, Cardiff, and Leeds. The celebrate the announcement, a short snippet of new music was released, presumably, this segment will be heard on Paul’s new album. An album about which we know surprisingly little. To be released on December 31^st, a pre-order of the album will grant you access to a pre-sale for the upcoming tour. See details here. Tickets for the shows go on pre-sale here this Wednesday (December 8) at 10am before general sale here this Friday (December 10).

Paul is insistent on spending his 2021 churning out as much content as possible, back in March he released his previous album Live N Livin. Production for this album officially started in 2019 when “Buss a Bubble” was released. The track would later be replaced on the album by a remixed version featuring Chi Ching Ching, Looga Man, Ras Ajai and Sotto Bless. Singles would be released through 2020 before the album was finally released earlier this year.
