MØ Teams With Diplo for "Kamikaze"
This summer, Diplo‘s Major Lazer teamed up with MØ for their hit single “Lean On” (also featuring DJ Snake). Now, the producer and singer have collaborated again for “Kamikaze”. It was premiered today on Annie Mac’s show on BBC Radio 1.
Last year, MØ released her debut album, No Mythologies To Follow, which featured the Diplo collaboration “XXX 88”.
Here’s what MØ had to say about “Kamikaze” in a press release:
I love working with Diplo. It’s always such a fun and open-minded creative process. It’s about making memorable songs but, more than that, it’s about making pop music that wants to push boundaries. I’ve been loving all kinds of pop since I first fell in love with the Spice Girls, but pop needs to bring something new to the table, it needs balls. And that’s what you get working with Diplo. Making “Lean On” and being a part of that tornado these past eight months has been one of the greatest experiences in my life so far, and I’m super happy that “Kamikaze” is made in a collaboration with the same group of my friends.
Here’s the “Lean On” video:
Look no further for a spiritual break through. Olatuja is composed of the dynamic collaboration between bassist/composer Michael Olatuja and vocalist Alicia Olatuja. With the help of Whirlwind Recordings they present their exhilarating new single, Royalty. This bop combines vibrant orchestral arrangements with grooving Afrobeats and blazing melodies, creating a uniquely immersive experience that celebrates self-empowerment and inspiration. Drawing from the rich heritage of West African music and melding it with gospel and jazz influences, “Royalty” offers a mesmerizing blend of Yoruba and English, delivering a message that resonates with audiences worldwide. Alicia says:
‘Royalty’ merges musical ideals to create a new sound: Cinematic Afrobeats. “It is an anthem of empowerment, celebration, dance, and remembering who you really are!
Olatuja’s upcoming album, also titled Olatuja, is set to release on Friday, May 31. Fans can anticipate a musical journey that seamlessly blends diverse influences and experiences. The album features an array of talented musicians, including drummers Obed Calvaire and Joshua Keitt, guitarist Femi Temowo, and GRAMMY® Award-nominated pianist Christian Sands, among others. Through their collective artistry, Olatuja aims to inspire joy, trust, and honest communication, inviting audiences to join them on a transformative musical adventure.
