Now who didn't enjoy Sean Kingston's, RedOne-ified, track "Fire Burning" (not that you, nor I, nor anyone else in America, had a choice in the matter)? But with remembered lyrics such as, "My pocket started tickling, the way she drop it low," and "She get it pop it lock it drop it, That birthday cake," I was completely refreshed when Kingston's second single off his new album, Tomorrow (out September 22) gave honest accounts of rejection and insecurity.
While it's still a moving and shaking track, Kingston shares the pain of a girl who said he'd "look better if he was thinner"; well, girl, "you should have loved him for his inner" ... no joke, 'cause Sean's "inner" is Lil' Sean, a wacky, CGI-dancing sprite who can walk on water.
In the "Face Drop" video, the same pretty much applies to all romantic rejects, who join Sean Kingston in a swirl of purple lights and rainbows to kick up an animated dance party on top of a pool. Don't believe me? Just watch the Ro Rao-directed video yourself. The featured style of animation, also on Kingston's Tomorrow album cover, is very Graduation-era Kanye West (sunglasses and everything), minus the interruptions.
