What Parents Need to Know

About "Fire Burning" (CD single)

Parents need to know that though much has happened to Sean Kingston since releasing his first self-titled record -- he's been the opening act for both Gwen Stefani and Beyonce on their national tours -- he remains true to his non-offensive roots on this single. Like his other tunes that came before, this song avoids explicit descriptions of sex or substances.

Is it possible for an artist to have a hit record if he or she doesn't follow the prescribed industry formula? What are the pros and cons of bucking industry trends?
