When you build your song around a sample of Janet Jackson's delicate and lovely "Again," you have a lot to live up to. Here, British Virgin Islands pop sensation Iyaz takes the piano line and vocal melody and adds his own twist to the proceedings -- namely, air horns and quasi-ragga toasting.
In a recent interview (watch it again below if you missed it), Iyaz talked about "Solo" in relation to his breakout hit "Replay." According to Iyaz, "Solo" is about the negative impact his post-"Replay" success had on his love life. The Kai Crawford-directed "Solo" video tracks a budding relationship, as Iyaz sings over Jackson's familiar melody with some skittering 808s to accompany him.
