Shenseea Shares Release Date, Tracklist, And Cover For New Album ‘Never Gets Late Here’
Jamaican artist Shenseea has announced that her sophomore album, Never Gets Late Here, will be released on May 24, 2024.
She shared details about the upcoming 14-track set earlier today, including its official cover art and a tracklist that includes collaborations with Nigerian singer Wizkid, American rapper Coi Leray, Brazilian singer Anitta, and Dancehall artist Masicka.
Never Gets Late Here tracklist:
- Face Lift (Intro)
- Hit & Run – Feat. Masicka & Di Genius
- Tap Out
- Neva Neva
- Die For You
- Keep A Place
- Dolla
- Loyalty
- Flava – Feat. Coi Leray
- Nana
- Red Flag – Feat. Anitta
- Stars
- Heaven On Earth
- Work Me Out – Feat. Wizkid
The project, which is said to consist of ballads, R&B-style songs, and a bit of Dancehall, is expected to show the 27-year-old’s versatility.
Shenseea previously reasoned that the tracks which experiment with international genres have a higher probability of achieving longevity because a wider audience would be able to understand the lyrics. “It’s actually where I want to go. This is actually the music that I want to do. The type of music that I feel is real timeless,” she told Nyla Symone during an episode of We Need To Talk in July of last year.
“Of course, my Dancehall songs are timeless too because there are songs that I dropped years ago that are still going crazy right now. But I’m a timeless music lover, period. So in anything that I’m doing, I make sure that it sounds so good.”
Added Shenseea: “I feel like the music that I have coming has more legs than the Dancehall timeless ones because not everyone can understand the dialect. So these ones [on the new album] are exactly like what I want to do with my career.”
The tracks Hit and Run with Masicka, which has almost 40 million views on YouTube, Die For You and Neva Neva have already been released.
The Trending Gyal’s first album, Alpha, had debuted on two Billboard Reggae Albums chart after it moved 4,900 units total from sales and streaming during its first week of release.
It went on to become the second best-selling Reggae and Dancehall album released in 2022, moving over 63,000 units by the end of that year, according to data provided to DancehallMag from Billboard’s sales track Luminte.
