Sean Paul's last release was a single titled Born To Love Ya featuring Gabry Ponte & Natti Natasha. The singer's last album, Scorcha, on May 27, 2022. The singer talked about the album in an exclusive interview with VIBE on June 22, 2022:
"The style on this album is totally me. Yes, I’ve done some changes to the work, but there’s also that root there. The way I spit on any track is definitely Dancehall-oriented, which came out of Reggae music. So, I like to describe the music that I do as Reggae Dancehall. For me, Dancehall is not just one thing. There’s many different topics."
The singer continued:
"And, so, I’ve chosen a path where it’s more fun-oriented. I’m showing maturity on this album with tracks like “Borrowed Time,” “Calling On Me,” and also, “No Fear.” They’re more thoughtful and mature topics. I’ve been criticized as carrying it too pop-y at times. I’ve been criticized as watering down the original sound. But when you’re a key player, you affect change."
Sean Paul is best known for his second studio album, Dutty Rock, on November 12, 2002. The album was a major success, reaching top spots on multiple charts across the globe.
