BEAUTIFUL GIRLS - SEAN KINGSTON
As poster boy for superstar producer JR Rotem’s new label, Beluga Heights, rookie R&B sensation Sean Kingston does not fail lofty expectations. As follow-up to the Ice-T remake of “Colors,” “Beautiful Girls” adds Jamaican flavor to Ben E. King standard “Stand by Me” and cooks up a hot summertime smash. Barely 18 years old, Kingston taps into his old soul, harmonizing about a woman whose beauty cannot compensate for the hurt she fosters. Kingston, whose uncles are reggae icon Buju Banton and famed Bob Marley & the Wailers producer Jack Ruby, teams with Rotem to make “Beautiful Girls” a track to make all involved ready to stand by him.
