Singer Bar-Bee hopes to make waves for the summer with a collaboration with rapper, songwriter and model Trina for the playful song 'Come See Bout Me'.
The song was recorded recently in Miami as Bar-Bee tells THE STAR, "I just wanted to do something fun and playful for the summer. I was in studio in Miami and met up with her (Trina) and we just had fun on the track. It's something the ladies can dance to."
Bar-Bee describes the song as a mix of reggae and hip hop incorporating the musical vibe of both artistes.
Trina is known for songs such as Here We Go featuring Kelly Rowland, among others.
"It was real cool, Trina is a really humble, really sweet person. She's been in the business for like ten years so it was good working with her, I wrote my part and she did her part" Bar-Bee added.
The video for the collaboration, Bar-Bee says, will be shot in Los Angeles soon but the artiste didn't want to give any details as to who will be directing it. The song will be available on iTunes in early July and will also be featured on Bar-Bee's upcoming debut album.
The singer was recently in Jamaica for the shooting of Sean Kingston and rapper Nicki Minaj's video for the song Letting Go (Dutty Love). She said, "I was called by Sean Kingston's mother to be a part of the video so I came down for that and it was real nice. I can't give out the details of my part in the video though. Sean Kingston is always showing love for Jamaica."
The video was shot in Ocho Rios on Sunday and should also feature cameo appearances from Shaggy, Ding Dong, Voicemail's Craig Jackson, Wayne Marshall, Leftside among others.
As for Come See Bout Me, Bar-Bee feels the song has a lot of potential saying, "I think it has that vibe to play everywhere and I'm liking the response to it so far. I'm also working on other singles and stuff for my album."
