Singer Raine Seville has scored her first collaboration for the new year, doing Cheating Games with Mavado. The song was released last Saturday on Payday Music's Real Reggae Riddim which also features Bounty Killer, Wayne Marshall, Natalie Storm and Capleton.

"The song was originally to be just me on Payday's rhythm, so I had already recorded the hook. Mavado heard it and loved the direction it was going in. He then decided to put a verse on it," Seville said.

"It's a great feeling to work with Mavado. He is extremely talented and we've known each other for a long time, so the connection was already there".

The song is about about a woman leaving her man, who has been playing 'cheating games'. "Payday and I came up with the concept of me doing a cheating song, so we composed the hook together and Mavado used my hook as a guide for composing his verse," Seville said. According to Seville, the song has been getting a good reception since its release, having got over 10,000 views on Youtube.com in three days.

Raine has been releasing a slew of new material, with videos for Rollercoaster on Sean Paul's 'Material' riddim, Showdown, Listen, Tra La La and more. She said there will be other new songs and videos coming soon.
