Fresh from his headline performance at Essence Festival earlier this month, and on the back of her last single ‘La Nena’, global music superstars KIZZ DANIEL and BECKY G have joined forces for a killer remix for one of 2022’s biggest afrobeats tracks ‘COUGH (ODO)’, as featured in Viper Magazine. The original single has become a massive fan-favourite across the world in the nine months since it was first released, going on to garner over 400 million plays online. Now Kizz Daniel has enlisted the award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Becky G to breathe new life into the glorious afrobeats offering.
Originally produced by Philkeyz and Blaisebeatz (Chris Brown, Wizkid) as part of last December’s EMPIRE compilation album Where We Come From (Vol. 1), the new ‘Cough’ remix brings Kizz Daniel’s excellent afropop sensibilities, witty lyrics, and earworm chorus with it, while Becky G adds her beautiful vocals and Latin music flair to take the track to exciting new heights. Speaking about the inspiration behind the original track last year, Kizz Daniel shared how “for this song, I wanted to highlight the feeling of new love. The song itself is energetic and celebratory, and it really captures what it’s like to fall for someone new” – this new Becky G remix brings that message further to life.
