Justin Bieber Jumps on a Remix of WizKid’s ‘Essence,’ Featuring Tem – Calls it the ‘Song of the Summer’
Superstar singer Wizkid announced on Thursday, August 12, that Canadian pop star, Justin Bieber will be featured on a remix of his Afrobeats hit “Essence,” which also features singer Tems.
“Thank u for letting me jump on the song of the summer,” Justin Bieber wrote on his official Instagram page while sharing a graphic featuring all three artists’ names on top of the song’s title.
Essence remix officially dropped today, Friday, August 13 after the one day’s notice, when the Nigerian superstar teased fans about “something special” coming on his socials.
Essence could experience a leap on the chart following the Bieber-assisted remix with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” The Latin pop anthem leapt to No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2017 and remained at the top for 16 weeks, tying the record for longest-running No. 1 song at the time.

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in July at No. 82 after it was released in October 2020 from Wizkid’s album ”Made In Lagos”. The sultry Afrobeats/R&B club jam has been steadily climbing the tally over the last five weeks, rising to its current position of No. 54 in the week ending August 14.
Wizkid has previously worked with another Canada-born sensation Drake on the No. 1 smash “One Dance” in 2016, which also features British singer Kyla.
Later this month, Wizkid will release a deluxe version of his groundbreaking album, ”Made In Lagos.”
Speaking on the legacy of “Essence” in a recent interview with Billboard, Wizkid said “This is the first time where it feels like a song is competing on the level of a similarly promoted song from Western artists in the pop genre,”
“And I hope that’s the lasting influence of the record — that it opens doors for more people with different styles and different textures.”

Thanks very interesting blog!
Feel free to visit my site … cbd gummies for pain
Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you are not understanding anything completely, except this article provides good understanding yet.
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this website’s articles every day along with a mug of coffee.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set
up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

the reason that this this web site conations truly pleasant funny stuff too.
You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I
believe I might never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely large for me.
I’m having a look forward in your next put
up, I’ll try to get the hold of it!
