me against myself jay sean album download Me Against Myself. When a debut album has nearly a dozen and a half tracks, you know the folks behind it are feeling confident. In this case, Jay Sean and producer Rishi Rich are justified. Me Against Myself is of major league significance. Sean grew up in a middle-class Sikh family and devoted his teens to punk rap. Disillusioned, he dropped out and went to med school but was eventually seduced back into making music. The single "Eyes On You" is a solid slice ofR&B and its recent chart success is deserved. But, in the context of this album, it's a conservative release that one assumes is intended to build a broad fan base. The title track "Me Against Myself" is the one to watch out for if EMI find the courage to release it. With honesty and self-awareness - more The Streets than Craig David - Sean's singerand rapperpersonae go into battle. Both bruising and amusing, it's a marker that tells you precisely where he's at. The next chapter in this odyssey is a tantalising prospect that is potentially way off the radar screen. With influences that enter from all angles, any Asian tag totally misses the point. This is an album by gifted people with a vision beyond boundaries and a simple devotion to music. Sean, for sure, is still finding himself and enjoying all sides of the urban scene. The next step will take the courage of real convictions, but there's a glittering prize up for grabs. Jay Sean. Asian sensation Jay Sean releases his solo album that makes attempts at MCing and singing. He’s already had success with his single ‘Eyes On You’ and he’s making a good impression with the media. This is quite a feat. As he mentions on a few occasions in this album he’s breaking barriers being Asian and making pop songs that. include sounds from Sean’s cultural background and with potential mass appeal. He certainly can sing and has real honesty in his expression. He’s a soulful guy and his lyrics focus on love, loss and soul thought that is explained in a nice and easy way. Richi Rich is providing the music that focuses on bangra beats and r’n’b sounds. This album is progressive in that it shows a fusion of Asian sounds with r’n’b and pop music. It makes for a sweet and nice sound. It could be sickly sweet for some however. I think younger audiences will like this album as it easy to digest and non-offensive and I’m sure it will get the backing of Sean’s community. Respect to Sean for competing with the establishment and putting himself out there. He can sing well but his MCing is average. Jay Sean. Kamaljit Singh Jhooti, better known by his stage name Jay Sean, is a British singer-songwriter, rapper, beatboxer and record producer. He debuted in the UK's Asian Underground scene as a member of the Rishi Rich Project with "Dance with You", which reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003. This led to him being signed to Virgin Records and having two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: "Eyes On You" at #6 and "Stolen" at #4. They were included in his critically acclaimed debut album Me Against Myself which, though only moderately successful in the UK, sold more than two million copies across Asia and remains his most successful album to date. Alongside the Rishi Rich Project, Sean was a pioneer of Bhangra-R&B fusion, which his debut album helped popularize among the worldwide South Asian diaspora..
