QUEEN OF DANCEHALL LADY SAW, JOINS FORCES WITH RAPPER FloRida FOR REMIX OF "HEELS ON"

 

Hip Hop artist FloRida , and The Queen of Dancehall Lady Saw team up for the remix of her chart topping song "Heels On".

In a recent interview, Saw was quoted as saying "I'm so happy about it. I had my engineer and a few others from the industry listen to it and they are all so excited, it's the way he did it, it's jazzy and fun." The single is set to be released sometime this month.

Lady saw met FloRida initially at the yearly event, Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay Jamaica. It's said that FloRida pitched the remix to Lady Saw, and she of course obliged. This release is already growing a buzz in the street! The official "Heels On" video featured veteran artist Shaggy, and the chemistry and steamy sexually charged video put Lady Saw back at the top after a few quiet years.

This is not "The Queens" first collaboration with a Pop Star. She has notably recorded successful crossover hits like, "Underneath It All" No Doubt ft. Lady Saw, which was 3 times platinum, as well as won a 2002 Grammy for "Best Performance by a Duo or Group". She has also recorded tracks with Nicki Minaj and Trina.
