Ahh I LOVE Jay Sean! Will the album he's going to release in the US have all brand-new matierial? Nope. He will release an US edition of 'My Own Way' with 5 newly recorded tracks. One of it will be a duet with Keisha from Sugababes. |

JAY SEAN IN USA???? Ahhh!!! He's awesome. I'd love to see him make it somehow, not just because he's British Asian, but because he's super talented!!

This is a pretty good song. It's hot.
I have been a fan of Jay Sean for a few years now. His Me Against Myself album is quite good. A bit different, but it's enjoyable.

Jay Sean already has a huge following with the Indian community in the United States. I'm sure with the proper promotion this single could take off.

The "Let It Rock" of summer 2009. By that, I mean an unknown artist getting help from Lil Wayne, and around this time as well. Great song! |

I can't stop listening to this. :) It sounds a bit like 'Tonight' but both are equally awesome to me. Lil Wayne contributed to the new version of 'Tonight'.

The song's quite generic R&B but it's the easy way out to introduce him to the US audience first.

 Pushed back a month to 28/7. I suppose they want the song to chart on Rhythmic first before it officially impacts/crossover on CHR/Pop. |

Jay Sean Taking On The U.S. With 'Down,' Featuring Lil Wayne
British-Indian singer has enjoyed big success in Europe and Asia.
By Akshay Bhansali, with additional reporting by Tim Kash
MIAMI — "Right here, you got my man Jay Sean, the new edition of Cash Money Records!" Lil Wayne proclaims as he and Sean stride across an enormous green-screen on the set of the video for "Down." The song — which features Wayne — is the British pop/R&B artist's debut U.S. single, and it's also an important stylistic step forward for the Cash Money label.
"Everybody is used to what Cash Money is, and that's why he has a new sound," Wayne said. "It's for the ladies. We're used to getting in your face ... and now we are getting more mature here."
Whatever the case, it's working: The song is already making strong inroads at U.S. radio and the video is set to premiere any day. Cash Money already stepped outside of the hip-hop realm with rocker Kevin Rudolf (who also appears on Sean's forthcoming album), and Jay Sean brings a whole new dimension to its roster.
Indeed, the British-Indian singer — who hails from the London borough of Hounslow — is an unlikely match for the label, but his accomplishments speak for themselves. With two albums under his belt, he is a hot-selling artist in Europe and India. In his seven-year career, Sean has blended his R&B style with Punjabi singers and even reggaetón (courtesy of producers Luney Tunez) before going independent with his 2008 album release, the fittingly titled My Own Way.
And so Jay Sean begins his American campaign: "Down" has hit radio, as has Birdman's "Written on Her," which features Sean. The video for "Down" drops this week, and Sean begins a West Coast promotional tour toward the end of July. His U.S. release, expected in October of this year, will also be titled My Own Way, but will have a whole new set of songs and of course, a couple of Cash Money family features. But even an artist who plays to crowds of more than 50,000 people in Europe and Asia is a surprise signing for Cash Money.
"A producer friend told me that [Cash Money Co-CEO Ronald 'Slim' Williams] is really into your project, loves the fact that you did it independently," Sean told MTV News. "They understand all about that because that's how they started. They just really want to take you to the next level and bring you to America."
