FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD Bahamian singer Angelique Sabrina's new pop single Pull Up (featuring dancehall artiste Tifa) is the rage in the United States.

The track is the first release from her upcoming album and already, a buzz has begun to build around the singer following the debut of Pull Up's video on MTV Buzz worthy. It earned Angelique a nomination with mtvU's weekly Best Freshman Video, with the cable channel calling her the next Rihanna.

Angelique, who is currently in Jamaica promoting Pull Up, said the comparison to the Barbadian superstar is mind-blowing.

"Being compared to Rihanna is definitely an honour. I definitely understand the comparisons between her and me, both being from the islands. But I think in time people will begin to realise the difference between us," she said.

The teenager, who is home-schooled, which allows her time to focus on her music career, says her journey has been an amazing one.

"So far it has been extremely educational and foundational. Each day I grow as an artiste and I think that that's something that will never stop."

The remix video for Pull Up was recently shot in Atlanta, Georgia. It features over 400 professional cheerleaders from the NBA, MLS and AHL who performed the Pull Up dance.

Angelique is scheduled to appear on Reggae Sumfest International Night.
