Jay Sean showed up to support his friend Pharrell at the launch of his Qream liqueur last week. The Cash Money signee was recently in the studio with Skateboard P working on his new album Freeze Time.
“We did three songs together over the last couple of weeks for my new album,” the British singer told Rap-Up TV. “While music is changing so much, he’s keeping up with the trends, but he’s still making sure he doesn’t let go of what makes his music his music. It’s got that unique Pharrell sound.”
He also shared details about his upcoming mixtape The Mistress, due next month. “For me, it’s my new passion project,” he explained. “It’s a little nod to throwback R&B, the stuff that I grew up to. It’s just fun. It’s not going in there and over-thinking anything. It’s just doing some stuff that I wanted to do, perhaps doing some stuff that America hasn’t heard. It’s showing the other side of me. It’s my other love, my hidden love.”
And for those patiently waiting on Freeze Time, Jay assures that it’s coming. “End of the year, definitely.”
Jay Sean panders to the ladies with the video for “Like This, Like That,” the latest single from his upcoming album Freeze Time. The Cash Money crooner cozies up to a young woman as lights beam down on him in the performance scenes. A slightly less wealthy Birdman flies by to make a cameo.

His 4th studio album Freeze Time is due later this year.

Jay Sean reps for his label on the posse cut “YMCMB Heroes” featuring Tyga, Busta Rhymes, and Cory Gunz. The track, which serves as an urban remix of the British singer’s “Hit the Lights,” touts an industrial beat where he flexes his rhyming chops in between verses from his guest stars.
“Too many million sales that be up on my plaques/ On the walls of my crib as a matter of fact/ Yes it’s me, come all the way from overseas/ Took that spot from the Black Eyed Peas/ Number one Billboard entry,” he sing-raps. Listen to the anthem below.
Jay Sean flips the switch on the Bille Woodruff-directed video for “Hit the Lights,” a lead single from his fourth album Freeze Time, due July 5.
