DOWNLOAD Sean Kingston, I'm Eighteen MP3

At just over three minutes, Sean Kingston’s I’m Eighteen mp3 carries forward the song's signature guitar riff, with the young performer adding his own elements of rap, reggae, dancehall and psychedelic pop. In Kingston's hands, "I'm Eighteen" has been re-imagined as a contemporary reflection of the empowerment and confusion found in the song's lyrics. Not coincidentally, Kingston declares during the track, "I'm just a vote away!" harkening to the 2008 presidential election.

Kingston recorded this cover of Alice Cooper’s song in Los Angeles for the national nonpartisan, nonprofit youth voting initiative, Declare Yourself, to encourage America's 18-year-olds to register and vote in the 2008 presidential primaries and general election. There couldn’t have been a more appropriate time nor message.
