Anitta
drops “Me Gusta,” a star-studded anthem for the last
days of summer featuring Cardi B and Myke Towers.
The single builds on the warm, sultry sound that’s made Anitta
one of Brazil’s biggest breakout pop superstars. Paired with
a stunning video, it’s a taste of her forthcoming album, which
is executive produced by the award-winning Ryan Tedder.
On
September 23, Anitta, flanked by Cardi and Towers,
gave “Me Gusta” its sizzlin television debut on The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Brazilian phenomenon
has also been confirmed to perform at iHeart Radio’s Fiesta
Latina 2020.
On
“Me Gusta” the trio spill simmering verses over a humid
guitar riff, flipping effortlessly between English and Spanish.
Anitta's gorgeous vocals float like a cloud, Cardi's
bars are stinging and self-assured, and Towers' indelible
tonality, flow and force prove to be the perfect counterpart
for these two female powerhouses. It’s a song that begs for
sweaty clubs and crowded beach parties — but for now, dancing
in our bedrooms will do.
Quarantine has been the story of 2020 for Anitta, but
she hasn’t let it slow her down. She’s gone live on socials
nearly every day from her home in Rio de Janeiro, keeping her
fans up to date on her recording process. She’s also joined
Miley Cyrus, J Balvin, Katy Perry, David
Guetta, P. Diddy, and more for chats and performances.
Before the world slowed down, Anitta was set to take
both the Coachella and Rock In Rio stages by storm
in 2020.
“Me Gusta” is another impressive notch on Anitta’s
belt. It follows the July release of her single “Tócame,”
featuring Arcangel and De La Ghetto, which has
amassed over 40 million cumulative streams. Earlier this summer,
Anitta signed with Warner Records, the start of
a fruitful partnership that has pushed her music even further.
Boasting 5 Latin GRAMMY® Award nominations, 6 MTV EMA wins,
nearly 5 billion YouTube views, and 6.5 billion Spotify streams,
Anitta is already a star, and “Me Gusta” has the power
to intensify her global shine even more.
