Shenseea Reveals That She Is Now Working On Second Album, And It Will Be ‘Completely Different’

Almost two months And a two days after Jamaican Dancehall Queen Shenseea released her debut album, “Alpha,” in March 2022 she’s already working on her second album.

She say her sophomore album, saying it will be “completely different” from Alpha.

While on the Brandon Gonez Show in Toronto recently, the singer spoke about her new album noting that it will be completely different.

“I’m happy where I am right now because I feel like I’ve been getting a lot of recognition from international acts, producers, I’m working with. I’m working on my second album and knowing that I’ve given my first album ‘Alpha’ to the culture, It’s my very first, I had to give back to my culture, the second one is completely different,” she said.

“I feel like now what i’m about to do is like i’m going to start from zero. All over again with more experience of course, because you normally know me as from doing Reggae and Dancehall, hardcore Reggae and Dancehall. And now, I’m trying to get the world to turn up to my tracks so that the can understand it even more,” she continued.

“So, it’s like a whole different ballgame that I’m going into right now but it’s definitely something that i’ve been looking forward to my whole life,” she added.

It’s unclear what kind of album Shenseea will be giving her fans in her sophomore album, but she was heavily criticized for her first album being very pop music-like instead of a strictly hardcore dancehall album that fans wanted.

Shenseea’s new album, “Alpha,” which was released on March 11 under Rich Immigrants and Interscope Records, features Hip Hop stars Megan Thee Stallion, Tyga, Offset, and Jamaican giants Sean Paul and Beenie Man.

The 14-track project is considered a commercial success and landed at the number two spot on Billboard’s Reggae Albums Chart. However, it was criticized by many Jamaicans for being more pop-oriented than the hardcore Dancehall that they expected.

During a March interview with MTV News, she described the significance of her album title, “Alpha.”

“I wanted to call it ALPHA because it resonates with my personality, it’s who I am. I’m a leader when it comes on to my ShenYengz and whatever I want to achieve in life, I lead first, I set the trends. It doesn’t matter if the world is against me, I’m gonna do what I wanna do because I am the ALPHA, I am strong, being everything that I have endured till this day in my life. I know who I am, I know what I want, I know the strength that it took for me to get here and I just feel like it was the perfect name,” she stated.

Since the launch of her album, she has been receiving major publicity and even performed at a few media functions like the Tonight Show. Her dancing skills have been criticized as many did not feel the charisma. Shenseea said she wanted to rebrand herself and be more of a dancer.

“I’m really thinking about rebranding myself in terms of fitness,” she said as she said she didn’t like her arms and legs. “I want to be more fit and sexy and deal with more choreographed steps on stage that I want to work on,” she added.

Shenseea also addressed the controversial magazine cover for Numero, which she said was supposed to have the long hair wrapped around her body. However, it seems that the magazine did not photoshop the hair wrapped around her body as agreed and instead published her on the front cover in the nude.

“Y’all can tell lies on me y’all can do whatever but don’t ever disrespect my womanhood, that is my body, on top of it, I did not see that image before it went out…it wasn’t supposed to even look like this, it was supposed to look like a lot of photoshop with hair all around my body. When I did that shoot, I said I don’t want to look like this.”
