Jay Sean – Say Yeah (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)

jaysean

“Say Yeah”, new from “Down” hitmaker Jay Sean, sounds like an outtake from Usher’s Confessions record. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing (Confessions produced something like 15 #1 hits), the track definitely references/looks back to that era though. An era before electronica invaded into r&b, an era that was more about a lighthearted good time, an era before autotune. If anything, listening to “Say Yeah” will make you feel good. Hit the play button.
