Channeling the hip-shaking harmonies of a Shakira classic and reinventing them for today's dance floors, Kygo and Ava Max have released a new collaboration, “Whatever.”
They joined forces to reimagine “Whenever, Wherever,” the turn-of-the-century Latin pop song that helped Shakira break through in the United States after she had released four albums in Spanish. The song remains one of the Colombian music icon's biggest hits.
23 years later, Kygo and Ava Max have breathed new life into the record with an infectious cover infused with their signature sounds. It's the “first of many” Kygo releases for 2024, according to a mail shared by the Norwegian dance music superstar.
With upbeat chords and cheerful acoustic plucks, Kygo's unmistakable production transforms “Whenever, Wherever” into a saccharine anthem that will soon dominate dance radio. Meanwhile, Max's effervescent take on Shakira's fiery vocals prophesies the song's resurgence as a siren song on the dance floor once again.
