Dancehall artiste Shenseea is celebrating eight million views for Lighter, her collaboration with Taurus Riley.

In a series of Instagram Stories shared last evening, a bald Shenseea, thanks to the power of filters, marked the achievement with a memorable lip sync performance from the comfort of her bedroom.

With the official video released to YouTube on September 6, the song has quickly become a late summer favourite, perhaps spurred by the popular #LighterChallenge which the ‘Princess of dancehall’ launched over a week ago.

The song topped the iTunes Reggae Chart last week and was the most played track in several regional countries including Barbados, St Kitts-Nevis and Dominica.
