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.

Big Freedia has unleashed a big collaboration.

The Queen of Bounce has teamed with Ciara for her brand new single ‘$100 Bill.’

A melodic empowerment anthem, the track sees the forces trade verses over production that blends their unique styles.

Speaking on the track, Big Freedia said:

“’$100 Bill’ is about feelin like new money hot off the press! Big money! Feelin fresh and extra fabulous, but mostly about feeling good in your own skin. Owning your walk, your talk, your scent, your ride, anything that makes you feel like your best self.

Ciara and I have been talking about working together for a while, so this track was perfect with her.”

CiCi, who teased a collab of her own with Freedia named ‘Winning’ earlier this year, added:

“The first time I heard this song I thought the melodies were infectious. But also, even before that, Freedia and I have had such an amazing chemistry since we met, we both talked about working together. I asked Freedia to join my song ‘Winning’, and we definitely had winning energy on that record, and I feel like that energy has continued on $100 Bill. The record is melodic, it’s a song for everyone from little kids to the grandmas, it just makes you feel joy.”
