At what point do we go from Boyz II Men? That is the eternal question
being pondered by baby-faced crooner Sean Kingston in his "Fire
Burning" video, a clip which aims to take him from "Beautiful Girls"
into the great booty-ful beyond.
It's a tougher transition than
you'd think. Kingston, 19 (though he looks about 14), struck gold in
2007 with a pair of easy, breezy semi-reggae hits: the the
aforementioned "Girls" and "Me Love," both of which could generally be
described as "sweet." Now he's back with a new album, Tomorrow, a new
swagger and a new, mature sound. But so far, the kids aren't buying it.
Growing up, it would seem, really is hard to do.
