Since then, Shaggy has released more than 11 albums, including the six times platinum Hot Shot. His latest single, “I Need Your Love,” features strong Spanish percussion elements infused with a reggae twist. His album, Out of Many, One Music, was also a 2015 Grammy Award nominee for Best Reggae Album. Hit singles include: “Boombastic,” “It Wasn’t Me” and “Angel.”
Maxi Priest – Maxi Priest secured a No. 1 hit single worldwide in 1990, including on U.S. Billboard charts, with the release of “Close To You.” His 2014 album, Easy To Love, is a blend of reggae, R&B and dancehall. The album’s lead single, “Easy To Love,” features the legendary Jamaican drum and bass duo Sly & Robbie, who’ve played on some of his biggest hits including: “Wild World,” “Some Guys Have All The Luck,” “Close To You,” and “Housecall” (featuring Shabba Ranks), as well as the new album track, “Every Little Thing.”
