Shenseea Recruited By Rauw Alejandro For First Reggaeton Collab ‘Red Velvet’
Jamaican singer Shenseea has appeared in her first Reggaeton collaboration with Puerto Rican singer and rapper Rauw Alejandro in a new single, which premiered today (February 25).
Referred to as the “King of Modern Reggaeton”, Rauw recruited the Dancehall starlet for Red Velvet, one of the nine tracks off his compilation Trap Cake Volume 2, which also includes Rvssian and Future on the track Fvck Ux2, and Ty Dolla $ign on No Drama.
Produced by Mr. NaisGai, El Zorro, and Caleb Calloway, Red Velvet was written by Alejandro, whose verses are in Spanish, and Shenseea, who added her musical assist in English.
Writing credits also extended to Rvssian, Alvarito Díaz, and Drew.
Red Velvet finds the Good Comfort singer merging some velvety-smooth-sounding tones to match Rauw’s falsetto notes as she implores a potential lover to “free my body” and “free my love.”
“I need someone to make me feel like no one else has ever. Don’t be afraid, come explore me. Don’t be shy, come adore me. From the top of the night to the mornin’, better promise you won’t disappoint me … , ” Shenseea sings in her verses.
“This one is good. She sounds smooth and silky on the beat. And it’s perfect for her voice,” said one person.
Others couldn’t agree more, “Da one yah nice🔥” and “Yeah mi like dis one.”
“Literally been waiting on her to collab with Reggaeton 🔥❤️🙌 been playing all night,” added another, while one fan admitted to not having a clue what Rauw verses were but loved the song nonetheless, “Idk what he’s saying but this is 🔥🔥.”
