The Singer Will Release His Sophomore Album, Tomorrow, on September 22nd

Smash First Single “Fire Burning” Certified Platinum

In the midst of a whirlwind promotional run ahead of his upcoming sophomore album Tomorrow, Sean Kingston announced today his plans for a North American tour in support of the record which hits shelves September 22nd in the US.

Sean’s live shows have become famous for their impressive production values. MTV exclaimed, “Sean Kingston stole the show with a memorable performance,” after this year’s Teen Choice Awards. Now the singer/ songwriter will kick off a North American tour in St. Johns, NB Canada on September 15th to bring his hot performances directly to his fans.

This show will feature many of his best known hits, alongside songs from the new album Tomorrow, all packaged within a dramatic and entertaining visual experience that only Sean Kingston could provide. The singer will be performing with a live band and will feature several special guests along the way including the hot new buzz band New Boyz as the support act.

Tomorrow is the follow-up to Kingston’s self-titled debut album, which was released in 2007, sold more than 1 million copies worldwide and generated three back-to-back Top 10 singles including the double-platinum smash “Beautiful Girls,” which hit No. 1 in 21 countries. The album features top a host of top-notch producers, including J.R. Rotem (who produced Kingston’s debut), RedOne (Lady Gaga), Wyclef Jean (who also contributes vocals on “Ice Cream Girl”), and The Smeezingtons (Flo Rida).

Kingston kicked off his album promotion with the smash lead single, “Fire Burning.” “Fire Burning,” entered into the top 5 at rhythm and top 10 at pop radio and was certified platinum by the RIAA in just 10 weeks. In addition to its ascent up the charts, streaming of “Fire Burning” reached over 13 million in just 2 months while the video for “Fire Burning” was the #1 most played video on MTV and Fuse for the month of July. Sean has been traveling extensively since “Fire Burning” hit the airwaves and recently performed the hit song on the national television shows “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “The Teen Choice Awards” to critical praise.

Sean has been touring all over the world for the past 2 years and after his North American Run, the performer will embark on an International tour to be announced shortly.
