Jay Sean hip hops genres and reinvents himself in the process. Throwing away those baggy jeans and toning down the dance moves to slip on a suit and smoothly take the title of 'R&B’s one to watch'.

Not only with his polished lyrics and deft delivery but also picking up much female attention. It certainly looks as though the sky’s the limit as Sean pronounces he is going to do things ‘His Own Way‘. Indeed Sean is fast becoming a bit of a phenomenon as he continues to sell bucket loads of CD’s going five times platinum in India alone, which considering the black market there is probably a LOT higher.

The album itself oozes both quality and style from the very first track and never lets up in delivering a very competent R&B outing. With the hit ’Ride It’ kicking off proceedings (whilst previously charting high upon it’s release), you can only see good things for this album.

It has a number of standout tracks including current single ‘Maybe’, ‘I Won’t Tell’ and ‘Stay’ leading the way in this sensuous extravaganza of all things Sean. He certainly is one to watch in the future with 'My Own Way', going all the way.

It’s quite an achievement for a night to last five years in the volatile and competitive world of Central London clubbing. It’s even more impressive when it doesn’t sell out musically in order to achieve such a status.
