Shaggy has shared details of a festive album.
'Christmas In The Islands' will arrive on November 20 via BMG and finds Mr. Boombastic putting a Caribbean spin on seasonal cheer alongside a host of collaborators.
Special guests include Beenie Man, Joss Stone, Bounty Killer, Junior Reid, Ne-Yo, Romain Virgo, Ritchie Stephens and Conkarah, among others. The Grammy-winning singer, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica said:
"Since I was a child, I can remember seeing tourists flock to Jamaica during Christmas time for some sun, fun, rum, and great parties! Our island is all about family, friends, food, great beaches, warm, welcoming people, and a strong culture, which is the perfect recipe for a joyous Christmas, so we decided to embody all of that into one album.
"We enlisted some of Jamaica’s leading, iconic artists to participate, and with guests like Ne-Yo and Joss Stone, who frequent Jamaica during the holiday season, we hope to transport listeners and share how we celebrate Christmas in the Islands!"
Alongside some traditional holiday favourites, the 15-track record features new music, including Raggamuffin Christmas, a chilled, reggaefied jam featuring heavily autotuned vocals from Bounty Killer and Junior Reid.
