"Side" arrives after the successful releases of Ocean Drive, the multi-million streaming hit with Chris Brown. Spin Magazine declared, "Ocean Drive" is a welcomed reintroduction to Kingston, who doesn't at all sound as if he's lost a step. His voice is crisp and bouncy, his cadence as compelling as ever.

The list of artists who have burst out of the gate and charted at No. 1 with their debut single is littered with music legends: Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears. Sean Kingston is on that list."
