The first single of the album, ‘Sweetest Thing (Dollar Bill)’, that was released in August at radio outlets earlier this year features newcomer Niia, Akon and T.I.
Commenting upon his next album Jean said,
I always write music first and then I see who will fit perfectly. I don’t know who will be on it until the very end. I’ve got T.I. rhyming against acoustic guitars. I have Paul Simon on a dark hip-hop beat. I have Chamillionaire against a Bollywood orchestra. I’m just influenced by different songs and beats in the world.
For all those who are admirers of Jean, reports have it that the confirmed tracks that will appear in the album are , ‘Riot’, and ‘Slow Down’ with the latter slated to be the second single pulled by Jean.
