Blaiz Fayah drops ‘Ghetto Whine’ ahead of album release
The highly prolific and internationally renowned Dancehall artist, Blaiz Fayah, has announced the release of his new album ‘Shatta Ting’, set to drop on February 21, 2025. ‘Money Pull Up’, the lead focus single from the album is currently going viral and has already cumulated billions of views and generated more than 200k user generated content on Tiktok in 2 months. The track earns 10k daily from a dance challenge that turned into a global trend within just a few weeks.
As influencers and enthusiastic fans all around the world join the challenge of busting some serious moves to this sizzling dancehall banger, the popularity of the track has earned it the #1 spot on the reggae / dancehall chart on Shazam, over 9 million streams on Spotify with more than 450k streams in one day and the track’s video on Youtube has surpassed 3 million views.
With his unique style, Blaiz Fayah is experiencing growing success across the globe, from Colombia to Kenya, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and France, where he hails from. With ‘Money Pull Up’ leading his current wave of success, Blaiz currently boasts over 3 million monthly listeners and 320 million views on YouTube.
If you’re not already familiar, Blaiz Fayah emerged as a Dancehall revelation in 2018 with his hit ‘Best Gyal’, taken from the album ‘Level Up’. Between 2020 and 2023, he released the ‘Mad Ting’ series, three albums featuring collaborations with beatmakers like DJ Glad and Mafio House, with whom he has consistently delivered hits. Through this series, Blaiz Fayah showcased his diverse influences, blending elements of Dancehall, Kompa, Moombahton, Reggae, Shatta, and Zouk into his music.
Simultaneously, he has collaborated with Basshall Records, delivering some of the Dutch label biggest hits, including ‘Bad’, ‘Pon Di Ting’, ‘Pilot’, ‘Basshall Session #3’, and more recently, ‘Badman Party’. Alongside Kybba, head of Basshall Records, Blaiz Fayah has become a driving force behind the Shatta wave sweeping the international scene.
On his new album ‘Shatta Ting’, Blaiz Fayah returns to instrumentals that are far more Shatta-focused than his previous releases. Produced across Martinique, Paris, the Netherlands, and Spain, the album features collaborations with top-tier Martinican beatmakers such as DJ Glad, Mafio House, Gyzmo, Natoxie, Mikado, Bmad, as well as Kybba, Tribal Kush, and Limitlezz from the Basshall Records roster. Over the years, Blaiz Fayah has built a strong artistic connection with these accomplished producers, whose composition forms the foundation of each of his tracks.
‘Shatta Ting’ also includes two standout collaborations: the “bad queen” Maureen on ‘Money Pull Up’, and the rising star of the new generation of Martinican artists, Le Jèm’ss, on ‘Whole A Dem’. It was actually with a track by Le Jèm’ss that Blaiz Fayah launched his own label, Mad Ting Records, in late 2024.
Blaiz also just dropped ‘Ghetto Whine’, the final single before the album release. A powerful Dancehall flow on an intense Shatta production by Martinican beatmaker Mikado, ‘Ghetto Whine’ is a hot track to whine to!
To accompany the release of ‘Shatta Ting’, Blaiz Fayah will embark on an international tour with his musicians and dancers, performing in France, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and East Africa. The tour will culminate in a special gig at the iconic Olympia Hall in Paris on January 31, 2026, promising a brand-new show, fresh arrangements, and plenty of surprises!

Naomi Aguilera casts her spell with her new single BB ILY
Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
