Sean Paul on Sia: 'She spans generations - I'm a huge fan'

Hitmaker Sean Paul has revealed that working with Sia on the remix of her song "Cheap Thrills" was amazing because he was already such a huge fan of her. 

During a new interview with Billboard magazine, he was asked about being invited to guest on the track and admitted that he was honoured:

"I just thought: ‘What a big sound, nice hook and melody she had put down.’ I'm a huge fan of her voice. She spans generations. My mum is a big fan of her voice and her songs and writing."

"I can't believe “Cheap Thrills” is the only song that she's had that went to number one on the charts. When I heard that I was shocked. I could have sworn that she’d had other songs at number one because I'd heard them so much on the radio and TV. For me, she’s been a number one artist for a long time."

He was then asked what he thinks about the resurgence of dancehall and reggae, and added: "I'm loving the resurgence of dancehall. Right now Shakira is working with one of my old producers from Jamaica trying to find something that's hot and dancehall is hot again. It’s a great resurgence. So when international people come to do dance hall and when they send me things, I can only feel proud."
