Shaydee made a name for himself as a brilliant collaborator—now he's stepping out, and stepping it up, as a solo artist on Rhythm & Life. The burgeoning R&B star's debut sees him striking out with a stunning combination of soul, reggae and Afropop, which he deftly overlays with silken vocals. Shaydee puts romance front and centre on tracks like "Smile" and "Babylove", while refusing to skimp on infectious club bangers such as the aptly titled "Pon da Floor". The result is a consummate statement of intent from a bright new talent.
