Shaggy featuring Akon "What's Love" Video Premieres on MySpace.com Today at 3pm EST
MySpace.com will exclusively debut dancehall superstar Shaggy's new Hype Williams directed video "What's Love” featuring international hitmaker Akon on Feb. 20th, 2008 at 12PM PST (3PM EST). The 20 times platinum reggae icon contemplates leaving his girl for all the wrong reasons while Akon adds his silky smooth chorus on this track off Shaggy's latest album Intoxication (VP/Big Yard). The legendary Hype Williams, also known for his works with Kanye West, Beyonce, Jay-Z and Missy Elliot, perfectly complements "What's Love" with his colorful and bold direction. The video premiere will also be coupled with a special behind-the-scenes making of this high concept, high fashion video.
Shaggy recently performed this burgeoning hit off his critically acclaimed release on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and now the reggae/dancehall single is currently receiving the most U.S. radio airplay for its genre.
Intoxication "merges catchy choruses with deep, fluid growls landing like smart bombs over irresistible beats" (Village Voice), and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae charts. People magazine raves club smash "Church Heathen" "ingeniously intermixes dancehall riddims and Gregorian chant."
