“‘El Niño’ is about going hard in any storms that come in your life and conquering them!” Freedia said in a statement. “It’s one of my favorite songs on this record, it features my longtime collaborator Boyfriend, and it’s also my first collab with Lil Wayne, who I’ve wanted to work with for a long time. We put it down for our city, and this song is gonna have everyone blowin down!”

One of Jackson Wang‘s self-proclaimed ‘dream collaborations’ became a reality earlier this year when he lifted the lid on ‘Slow‘ – a duet with GRAMMY-winning songstress Ciara.

Reportedly one of many gems set to line ‘Magic Man 2,’ the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2022 album ‘Magic Man,’ ‘Slow’ has been everything but as it relates to racking up streams on major digital outlets like Spotify and Apple Music.

“Take it slowly, you gotta pace yourself, oh (Oh, baby)/ It’s me and you only, I don’t want nobody else (No, no, baby), but you gotta take it easy, slow the pace, ain’t a race, woah/ I’m here all night for love, that’s right, when you please me, pump the brakes, you can take your sweet time,” Ci croons on the LUYO & DVLP-produced track.

Supported by a choreography-laden music video released in late April that saw the two stars show off some fancy footwork, fans of the unlikely duo have now been invited to see how the magic from the Magic Man came to be via a behind the scenes clip.
