20-year-old soul pop singer Bazzi knows how to write a pop song, so much so that his track Mine was co-opted into a Snapchat filter, a meme and then later, a heap of remixes by some of America's hottest producers.
Today, his latest heart-fluttering single, Beautiful, has received the best feature artist we could hope for - Camila Cabello! The pair's harmonies dance along the stripped back beat, should we say... beautifully, and we think it's gonna for sure be your next Valentine's Day song.
Bazzi and Camila first met when he supported her on her huge North American tour and he says, "Working with Camila is really cool because she gives a similar vibe of what I’m trying to portray. A nod to ‘80s nostalgic music that really creates an experience. I think she really captures that and I’m excited for people to hear our moment together.”
Camila adds that Beautiful is "one of her favourite songs right now" and she "fell more and more in love with it hearing it backstage every night".
In celebration, we had a look back at some of the awesome remixes Bazzi's music has been reworked into. Check it out below.
Mine - Young Bombs Remix
Young Bombs has gone half-Wonderwall, half-trap on his remix of Mine, turning the cheerful track into an atmospheric, slow-burning summer love track.
Beautiful - Staygold Remix
Staygold brings a strong bassline to this Beautiful remix, as well as a killer drop that you kind of don't expect. It's no longer a soft-hearted ballad but a mammoth track with heaps of peaks and troughs.
Mine - Eden Prince Remix
This one screams Sunday sesh by the beach, its future soul beats meaning it'd go down just as well at the club as on a lazy arvo with your friends.
Mine - Jengi Remix
With tinkering keys and a slight chiptune touch, Jengi somehow turns the romantic track into something fun and peppy. Perfect for your next gaming session!
Beautiful - Hook N Sling's Spectrum Remix
LA-based Sydney producer Hook N Sling has upped the tempo on this remix, giving it some pop-house sheen using Spectrum sounds.
Beautiful - Dark Heart Remix
Dark Heart really pares this back at first, then completely cuts up Bazzi's vocals into a tech-y wonderland, making the chorus pretty unrecognisable, but still rad as hell.
Bazzi's Beautiful is on his debut album COSMIC, check it out on Spotify now.
