Shaggy) Like A Superstar” in Bern, Switzerland at an event where also the new UEFA EURO 2008 soccer site was launched. French urban artist Bashi, who recorded the refrains in French/Swiss as “Bring en hei”, was also there. You can view a YouTube video of Shaggy and Bashi below.
Shaggy also added another song to the UEFA European Soccer Cup EURO 2008 soundtrack (which also features a song by Rollo from Faithless among others). Shaggy’s new song is a very energetic song called “Feel the Rush”. Shaggy also already shot a video for this new single, showing him traveling through the country side – oh yeah, being transported on a motor tractor – to the stadium, while he meets all kinds of people and plays soccer with a couple of boys. It’s actually pretty cool!
