Iyaz’s Video For ‘Replay’ Reminds Us Of Summer, Sean Kingston

Beaches are definitely the It Locale for music videos this week, but at least Iyaz, who hails from the British Virgin Islands, has an excuse to frolic on the coast in the middle of winter. His “Replay” has slowly climbed the charts, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (while now resting at #5 on iTunes), and he’s just released his bright, cheery sand-strewn vid for the hit song, in which he flips through photos all Minority Report-style while coincidentally (or not?) sounding almost exactly like fellow tenor and label patron, Sean Kingston. (See Sean? Generating hits doesn’t require lame marketing gimmicks.)

Iyaz’s debut album is due out in 2010, but check out the “Replay” video after the jump and start packing for spring break.

“Replay” was produced by Kingston’s own partner-in-crime, J.R. Rotem, and written by Jason Derulo—a duo that’s had a knack for hits lately. But we’d like to hear what else Iyaz has up his sleeve, rather than hearing his hit recycled via needless re-releases.
