Popcaan - Number One Freak

On Where We Come From, Jamaican singer Popcaan’s soothing melodies shine over slick production from Dre Skull, Dubbel Dutch, and other in-demand beatmakers.


Together, they jump from silky love ballads to grind-ready bangers. “Love Yuh Bad” is the album’s centerpiece, as Popcaan’s lovestruck lyrics anchor a hip-shaking dancefloor groove.

Just as great are the moments when Popcaan fuses the rich sounds of his home with traditional pop bounce, like the scintillating title track.

But through all the genre bending and lane-switching, Popcaan is clearly, deeply proud of his dancehall roots.
