Dropping it like it’s hot for the fans is Jamaican recording artist, Tessanne Chin! Titled “Fire” and produced by Florida’s J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, who have worked with Rick Ross, T-Pain, and Mary J. Blige to name a few, Tessanne turns up the tempo and goes old school soul on this selection. Here she promotes self worth and empowerment over a funky production that encourages some serious moves on the dance floor. Expect this one to burn up the airwaves, and no need for gloves as picking this single up won’t burn your fingers. Loving this from “Chinita Goodaz“. Available on iTunes tomorrow so make sure you get it for your daily playlist. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
