Computer Paul drops rhythm sequel

Veteran producer Paul 'Computer Paul' Henton is once again at the helm of a major reggae juggling release, turning up the heat with 'Sara Juggling Part 2'.

Building on decades of experience and a reputation for crafting timeless rhythms, Henton is determined to keep one-drop reggae alive while pushing the sound into new territory. Following the success of Part 1, which dropped in February and gained strong local and international traction, Henton said the timing of the sequel was deliberate.

"I wanted Part 1 to get maximum exposure before releasing Part 2. In today's market, you have to move smart because attention spans are shorter," he explained.

The new juggling expands on the original's foundation, introducing fresh instrumentation and dynamic vocal performances while preserving the rhythm's core identity. The line-up includes Warrior King, Junior X, a standout duet from Ashley Irae and Imar Shephard, and a surprise combination from dancehall veteran Lady G with Chris Howell on Stuck On You 2.

For Henton, the overwhelming response to Part 1--especially from radio, selectors, and platforms like YouTube and TikTok in the UK--was a key motivator in shaping the follow-up.

"The support was incredible. That pushed me to make sure Part 2 could match that level," he said.

To maximise visibility, Henton has partnered with seasoned publicist Ralston Barrett. With Barrett's three decades of promotional expertise, the project is positioned to reach even wider audiences across Jamaica and the diaspora.

The 'Sara' rhythm itself has deep roots, tracing back to the 1980s when legendary duo Steely and Clevie crafted it for Frankie Paul. Reimagining that timeless sound with a modern touch was a challenge Henton embraced.

"One-drop was on the decline, so I wanted to do my part in keeping that sound alive. The response so far shows that people still love it," he said.

While fans are already asking about a third instalment, Henton has made it clear that Part 2 is the final chapter.

"The riddim is full and gone a road. If it's bad, artistes will always find it," he said.

With strong early feedback and a strategic promotional campaign now in motion, Sara Juggling Part 2 underscores Henton's enduring role as a guardian of reggae's legacy, proving that quality, consistency, and vision remain the keys to success in today's industry.
