The first proper summer banger has arrived, and it is a total earworm

Rory Cashin

It dropped at midnight on Friday, and we haven’t been able to stop listening to it since.

Whether you love him or hate him, Pharrell Williams knows his way around a chewn.

From his co-productions when he was a part of The Neptunes (Snoop’s ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, Kelis’ ‘Milkshake’, Britney’s ‘I’m A Slave 4 U’, Justin’s “Let Me Love You’), to his work as part of NERD (‘Lapdance’, ‘She Wants To Move’, ‘Lemon’), to his solo production work (Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’, Ed Sheeran’s ‘Sing’, Missy Elliott’s ‘WTF (Where They From)’), the man knows how to make you dance.

Then there are his own singles – you might have heard of a little world-dominator by the name of ‘Happy’ – as well as the huge songs he’s worked on with some of the best in the game and resulted in some of the biggest earworms ever created…

Well, he’s back to take over the summer of 2018 too, and he’s reuniting with former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello on their new banger ‘Sangria Wine’.

Williams co-wrote Cabello’s massive hit ‘Havana’, and they worked on ‘Sangria Wine’ during that same time, with Cabello performing the track during her recent US tour, and teasing that the single would be released in full just in time to soundtrack all of your BBQs, and now here we are.

Be prepared, because we’re probably going to be hearing this everywhere for the next few months, so if dance-pop-samba-reggae vibes aren’t you thing, then this isn’t going to be for you.
