Stalk Ashley and Sean Paul: two records, two years apart
Stalk Ashley joins Sia, Shenseea, Stefflon Don and INNA as one of the few women Sean Paul has recorded with more than once. The Mandeville-raised Dancehall&B singer first brought him onto “Stay With Me,” a standout on her August 2024 debut album. Caribbean Life described that duet as a study in vulnerability and intimacy.
“Ready for the Ride” followed on February 27, 2026, this time as a Sean Paul single released through Dutty Rock Productions and Milk & Honey. Two-time Grammy winner Scribz Riley produced it, and Kieran Khan directed the official video, which lives on Sean Paul’s YouTube channel. The track keeps a dancehall core but borrows from Afrobeats and R&B, and the lyrics play like a relationship stepping into its next chapter.

Why Sean Paul keeps coming back to duets with women
Across more than two decades, Sean Paul’s female collaborations have done two jobs at once. On pop records like “Cheap Thrills” and “Rockabye,” his patois hook gives a song an instant Caribbean identity. On Jamaican records, from “Bossman” with Lady Saw to his work with Shenseea, Jada Kingdom and Stalk Ashley, he lends a global spotlight to artists from home. He acknowledged that history himself in 2021, posting a montage for the women he has recorded with and writing, “Salute 2 all di amazin an talented women I’ve worked wid over di years!” as reported by DancehallMag.
