It’s a mix of everything I love: tropical rhythms, electronic beats, and a little rock ‘n’ roll edge. And the music video? Wild. I transformed into a Brazilian Jaguar (Onça-Pintada) as a tribute to my roots and the beauty of nature. With stunning makeup by Glen Alen, photography by Will Cook, and art by Ricardo Lima, it’s a full-on visual experience. This one is straight from the heart, and I can’t wait for you to vibe with it.”
