by Sean Paul Tiny Desk Concert he fell Friday (May 31) and it's as good as you'd expect.
The legendary reggae superstar took over the NPR offices and turned it into a good old-fashioned bashment from the jump. Although there was no whining or whining, Paul sounded just like he did when he made the tracks that made him an international phenomenon in the early 2000s. With a set list of 'Gimme the Light', 'Get Busy', 'Infiltrate' 'I'm Still in Love With You', 'Deport Them', 'Like Glue' and 'Temperature', Paul proved how many of his songs have aged well and can still rock a party.
He got help from Nigel A. Staff (keyboards/musical direction), Dan Policar (keyboards), Kemar “Spanky” Liking (drums), Davol “FletchaBass” Fletcher (bass), Shaun “Copper Shaun” Anderson (DJ), Terrence “Farenizzi” Harold (vocals) and Kerissa Spencer (vocals).
About 15 minutes into his set, after performing 2000's “Deport Them,” he had to take off his orange Palm Angels jacket before moving into “Temperature” — which gave him a chance to show off all the ice he had on, including of a crazy grill with diamond fangs. The star also managed to get the NPR staff involved throughout his set, with the small crowd nailing the call and response, a very important part of any dance set.
Sean last released an album in 2022 with Scortsa. However, he's still working on it, releasing the video for “Gyal Chasin” last March. Hopefully his Tiny Desk can help revitalize the bashment party scene.
