About the Artist

Jay Sean is a British singer/songwriter from London.

Signed in 2003 by 2Point9, Jay recorded his first single `Dance with you' with leading Brit Asian producer Rishi Rich alongside Punjabi singer Juggy D. The track blew up and Jay, who was on course to becoming a doctor, cut short his medical school education to sign a deal with Virgin Records. Two TOP 10 singles later, his debut album ME AGAINST MYSELF ended up selling over 300,000 copies worldwide. In India, ME AGAINST MYSELF reached # 1 going 5 X platinum.

In addition Jay has also had a taste of Bollywood, appearing as himself performing live in the movie `Kyaa Kool Hai Hum.' During the last couple of years, as well as touring internationally in over 100 major cities across 4 continents, Jay has set up his own production company `Jayded' - a joint venture between himself and his management company/record label `2Point9'. His sophomore album, MY OWN WAY, recorded in New York and London, was released independently in 2008 and sold more than 150, 000 copies. His sales caught the eye and ear of Cash Money CEO Ronald "Slim" Williams, who instantly saw Jay's worldwide appeal and potential and signed him to a multi-album recording contract.

Product Description

Jay Sean is taking the world by storm. He already has a #1 Top 40 hit to his name with "Down" and this is just the begining. To add further heat to this growing story, Jay Sean has now inked a multi-album, multi-million dollar record deal with Universal music monster, CASH MONEY RECORDS, home to 4 time Grammy winner Lil Wayne.

Jay was also nominated for two 2008 Mobo Awards, and the recipient of a BMI 'song of the year' award for penning the smash "Deal With It" for High School Musical star, Corbin Bleu.

Jay Sean has also been touring the world for the last 6 years, selling out shows in India, Russia, Poland, Dubai, Australia, Japan and USA. His fan base is diverse and varied. From exclusive club dates of 1,200 fans to massive outdoor concerts flooded with 50,000 people, Jay Sean can easily count himself as one of the worlds greatest and most sought after performers.

4.0 out of 5 stars All in all..., November 29, 2009

Jay Sean is another one of those artists where you wonder where in the world he came up with his stage name (though I guess Kamaljit Jhooti doesn't exactly roll off the tongue). His first two albums were met with limited success, but somewhere along the line he crossed over with the obligatory-song-featuring-Lil-Wayne, "Down" -- but to be fair, he IS on Cash Money Records now. Anyway, Jay comes at us with his latest album, All or Nothing.

I didn't really know what to expect from this album not because Jay isn't good, but he doesn't really sound much different from any other singer out there. I listened to the album though, and it turns out to be pretty good. "Down" is the best song on here, but there are other standouts like "Do You", "War" and "Stuck in the Middle".

Jay also does a good job with otherwise tired subject matter. "Fire" doesn't have him talking about anything new, but it still works; and I wasn't exactly looking forward to the necessary end-of-album remix-of-the-first single, but it turns out to be a beautiful acoustic piano version that's more about love itself than strictly sex (although some of the lyrics are omitted rather than changed). "If I Ain't Got You" gives the topic an interesting twist, and there is a good metaphor to be found in "Lights Off" (notice I said metaphor, so it isn't what you might think it'd be about).

I couldn't really get into "Cry" or "Stay", and Lil Jon's adlibs on "Do You Remember" aren't necessary. And normally I would knock my rating down to three-and-a-half stars upon discovering that five of the songs on here already appeared on Jay's previous album My Own Way, but I didn't because that album is only available on import -- correction: WAS available on import; it's now out of print. Anyway, All or Nothing is a great example of Jay Sean getting his career on the right track.

Jay Sean is one of those exceptional individuals with a golden voice and dance moves that remind you of the boybands in the 90's, thereby making him a unique artiste in todays society. I knew of him before he made it big in the United States with his track "Down" feat Lil Wayne. He has a Charming personality with great intentions for the world to be a happier place. His current album All or Nothing has some fantastic songs with great meaning in every lyric. This album can only go up the charts and prove to the world that Jay Sean is here to stay and showcase his raw talent. Personally I am Indian like himself and i am very proud to share this exotic and colorful culture with some one like him. I wish he used "Ride It" Hindi Version in this album so people in the US can hear how beautiful our language is. Although its not there the song is still great in english. I wish him all the success in the world and i'm sure everyone has now heard of him and look forward to great projects and collaborations in the near future. Cheers and congratulations to Kamaljit Jhooti AKA Jay Sean!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars There are 2 U.S. version for this album, November 27, 2009

Amazon got the 13 track edition while other retailers like target have the 14 track edition. The 14 tracks have a exclusive bonus candlelight remix of the song "Down". Another different is that the 13 tracks have the song "maybe", meanwhile the 14 tracks have the song "Cry" instead. Personally, I am a big Jay Sean fan and I have listen to his music way before he entered the U.S. market. Half of the song in this album is new and the other half is imported from his previous British Album, "My Own Way". "Cry" and "maybe" was imported from his previous album and I got to admit I like "Cry"( in the 14 tracks version) much better than "Maybe"(in the 13 tracks version). So depending on personal taste, you should listen to both song on youtube before picking which versions you going to get. Beside these 2 songs above, every other track are the same in both version accept the 14 tracks have an extra song( Which is Down candlelight remix). I would highly recommend his album. The new song that he have in this album are terrific. My favorite are down, Do you Remember, If I ain't got you, and War. War is a really sad song and it has become my favorite Jay Sean song so far and I am surprise that they haven't air it on the radio yet. So please, if you like Jay Sean's music go out and buy this album, it is worth every single penny.
