0Shaggy Officially Remixes Roya’s “Lie”
Hailing from West London, singer/songwriter Roya has burst onto the scene this past summer with her single “Lie”. Getting acclaim in her home country, as well as the rest of the European Union, Roya has her sights on the United States now.
It’s no surprise that “Lie” has seen International success, as the musical genius RedOne was in charge of producing the original, signing the singer to his RedOne Label. The pop producer has had some of the biggest chart-topping successes of this decade. Those credits include Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”, “Poker Face”, “Monster” and more, Nicki Minaj’s “Starships”, Usher’s “Dirty Dancer”, and the list goes on.
And today Roya and RedOne officially put the green light for the remix of “Lie”. They enlisted Shaggy to add a Caribbean essence to the record, with Don Corleon (credits: Rihanna, Vybz Kartel, Elephant Man, etc.) adding a dancehall dynamic. At the end of the day the original integrity of Roya’s vocals were kept in-tact, but Shaggy and Don Corleon have definitely added appeal to it. Roya has large shoes to fill, but is definitely up for the challenge!
