Sean Kingston seemed to come out of nowhere with "Beautiful Girls" this summer. The song gained well through the charts landing him a very good, summer, breezy-reggae hit, with one very unexpected ending. And now he delievers with his new self-titled debut. With Kingston's debut, you get the obvious flowchart of an R&B newcomer.

A few party songs ("Kingston", "Got No Shorty", "Drummer Boy"), a few heartfelt ballads ("Me Love", "Dry Your Eyes") and the obligatory "song of the summer" "Beautiful Girls", most notable for Kingston killing himself by the end of the song. Tied in for good measure is the song featuring whatever young R&B girl that's hot at that current, and then you find "There's Nothing" with Paula DeAnda. And to match his hot, hit single that samples Ben E. King's "Stand By Me", he and Rotem then sample Phil Collins's "In The Air Tonight" on "I Can Feel It" with mixed results. Anything new or exciting going on here? No, but there's nothing bad going on here either. Originality isn't quite Kingston's gem, although bringing breezy, summery, Jamacain styled music, that would indeed be Kingston's gem quality.

His voice isn't the rangiest, but his perplexed, unpredictable flow is what makes it the most interesting. Add in producer Jonathan Rotem and the aforementioned list of love songs, party songs, and some hood tracks, and you get one set of enjoyable reggae/hip-hop jams that define the summer. Some may question the aggression of the disc (he's barely 17), and Kingston might not be too out of the box. But he's not the dull pencil in the box either.
