What do you get when you combine the talents of R&B singer Justine Skye with dance music don dada Kaytranada? A dance floor banger, of course, which is exactly what they’ve crafted on her new single “Oh Lala.”
Skye teased “Oh Lala” back in April on Instagram in a carefree video of her mouthing the lyrics while hanging out of a convertible as it cruised through the nighttime streets. She quickly caught everyone’s attention with the track snippet, and we’ve been waiting for her to drop it ever since. With summer starting this weekend, she picked the perfect time to answer our prayers.
“Oh Lala” is dripping with sweat and sexiness. “Oh, we just can’t let go of each other / If you bring that ooh, I’ll la-la-la-la,” Justine coos to her boo. She is right at home on Kaytranada’s percolating production tailored to make your body move with a shuffling thump.
Justine is feeling frisky and feeling herself as she sings, “We both got perfect taste / I got a perfect waist / And if I twist my hips / I know you’re gonna chase.” We love a confident queen who talks her ish and can back it up.
She backs that thang up, body rolls and gets lost in the music in the visual for “Oh Lala.” Kaytranada is djing at a nightclub, and the party people naturally can’t stand still (and neither can he). The dance floor is packed with hot and sweaty souls surrounding Justine as she gets it in with her girls and a handsome stranger under flashing lights. She even gets Kay to bust a quick move captured in slo-mo.
This may be the first collaboration between Justine and Kaytranada, but we certainly hope it’s not their last. They’ve got a jam with “Oh Lala,” which has strong potential to be the song of the summer. See if you agree when you listen to the track (with its bonus instrumental) and watch its video right here. Slide “Oh Lala” onto your summertime fine playlists on various digital music platforms.
