Kygo's upbeat production and Max's effervescent take on Shakira's timeless vocals prophesy the track's revival as a dancefloor siren song once again.
Channeling the hip-shaking harmonies of a Shakira classic and reinventing them for today's dancefloors, 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 Spanish-language albums. The track 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 steeped in their signature sounds. It's the "first of many" 2024 releases from Kygo, according to a post shared by the Norwegian dance music superstar.
With upbeat chords and chirpy 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 smoldering vocals prophesy the track's revival as a dancefloor siren song once again.
