Review
Some important Sean Kingston statistics for you: the Jamaican ‘reggae-fusion’ vocalist has sold over six million digital singles – his smash hit of 2007, Beautiful Girls, accounting for the lion’s share – and four-and-a-half million ringtones. Add into the equation a million copies of his self-titled debut album sold and you’ve got one pretty successful artist.
That Kingston is yet to turn 20 only acerbates that swelling knot in the stomach. Just think of him several years down the line, doggy-paddling his way across a vast pool of cash like Scrooge McDuck. Or, don’t – raging jealously isn’t a strong look.
Tomorrow is the slick successor to Kingston’s first long-player, just as buoyant of beat and sing-along-friendly of chorus. And unlike some of his genre peers, including Sean Paul and Beenie Man, this Kingston-born artist smoothes his tracks so that nothing sticks in the throat, layering a thick gloss atop them that, at times, can absolutely bedazzle the listener.
The array of producers on board – including recent U2 collaborator Fernando Garibay – craft playfully boisterous instrumentals for Kingston to lay his lyrics upon; the problem at this level, though, comes from our protagonist’s tender years and his bipolar attitude to the women he’s focusing his attention on. Assertions that Mysterious Girl Number One is the one for him, for all time (take Magical as an example) sit close to tracks about one night stands in the offing: My Girlfriend, despite its name, is less about a long-term deal, more a 20-minute fumble in the club loos.
As a teenager, Kingston’s every right to fantasise about late-night encounters with attractive types, and these tracks are harmless in their content when compared to the rather-more-provocative imagery of older artists in his field. But the meant-as-heartfelt material often feels insincere and out of place. That said, Island Queen – which mixes the two perspectives with delightfully shuffling reggae percussion – is a sweet number, and Ice Cream Girl’s depiction of innocent days before advancement to the adult world is a mistily nostalgic treat that not even Wyclef Jean’s involvement can sour.
Shoulda Let U Go’s heavy rock riffs, contributed by Good Charlotte, feel awkwardly tacked-on, but this aside Tomorrow delivers a decent level of compositional consistency. It’s not rocket-science stuff, but for fans of inoffensive, pop-soaked Caribbean vibes there’s not much to find fault with here. Kingston might want to plan an extension to his vault. --Mike Diver

CD Description
Teen sensation Sean Kingston follows his eponymous album with Tomorrow - a more upbeat and poppy effort than its predecessor. Club beats are incorporated with RNB style ballads with youthful charm and style. For Tomorrow 19 year old Kingston has teamed up with a number of top artists and producers, including pop-punk luminaries Good Charlotte who co-wrote “Shoulda Let You Go”, and global superstar Wyclef Jean who produced and lends vocals to “Ice Cream Girl”. Sean also collaborated with J.R. Rotem (50 Cent, The Game, Britney Spears), and chart-topping producer Red One on the first single from the album, the massive “Fire Burning”. A likeable and infectious effort it includes the singles "My Girlfriend" and "Face Drop".

"Tomorrow" is a Lucky Repetition of Yesterday,
By H. D. Espinosa "The Onlooker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: TOMORROW (Audio CD)
There's nothing too much different in this sophomore effort in comparison to Sean's debut. "Tomorrow" uses quite the same recipe than its predecessor: heavily synthesized beats with average singing and catchy, well-humored and lovesick (mostly on the second half of the album) lyrics, but with a little reggae-style ("Island Queen") in between for a change.
Sean and his producers played the safe card here, and this strategy might prove to be well chosen after all. Too much innovation on a second album release could ruin badly the expectations for those who have waited to come back for more - of the very same thing. It's worth taking a shot, definitely. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

My CD arrived couple days later than I expected for a rush order.
