Shaggy wears producer hat for Maxi Priest’s new album
Almost three decades after they first toured together, Shaggy and Maxi Priest have collaborated on another project. This time it is for Maxi Priest’s album, It All Comes Back To Love, which will be released on September 20.
The first single from
the album, I’m Alright, features the Mr Boombastic deejay, whose
voice is the perfect contrast for Maxi Priest’s silky-smooth vocals. That song
is just one of four on which Shaggy is featured. The other songs are Cool
Nuh, My Pillow and Anything You Want, which also features Estelle
and Anthony Hamilton.
“Shaggy and I
have written many songs together, so it was a no-brainer there would be an
album. We work very well together in the studio,” Maxi Priest told Billboard.
In addition to
adding his voice, the tracks for the album were recorded at Shaggy’s studio, The
Ranch. For this project, Shaggy wore the producer hat with assistance from
fellow Ranch producers Shane Hoosong and Dwayne Shippy, who played and arranged
the music.
