Don Diablo, Major Lazer & Baby Lawd combine their talents on ‘Jiggy Woogie’: Listen
Serving as one of the most unexpected and intriguing collaborations of this year so far, Don Diablo & Major Lazer teamed up with Baby Lawd to breathe new life into his viral TikTok hit Jiggy Woogie which conquered the world.
In today’s episode of collaborations that we thought we’d never see materialized, Don Diablo & Major Lazer combined for a wacky and jubilant single Jiggy Woogie, featuring Baby Lawd, a star in the making hailing from Jamaica. Major Lazer & Don Diablo premiered the track at the inaugural edition of Untold Festival in Dubai, even sharing the stage together in the process. The original version by Baby Lawd took TikTok by storm, gathering worldwide acclaim. No wonder it caught the eye of some of the globe’s most renowned and iconic artists.
Even though this is Don Diablo’s debut collaboration with Major Lazer, it’s not the first time he and Diplo worked together. Back in the seemingly distant 2012, the pair dropped Make You Pop on Spinnin’ Records, and in 2018 Don remixed MØ & Diplo’s Sun In Our Eyes. Don Diablo never publicly stated his desire to work with Major Lazer but he gave them their flowers in his recent comments:
“We are thrilled to bring “Jiggy Woogie” to our fans across the globe. Working with Major Lazer has been high on my wishlist for a few years now, and this track represents more than just music; it’s a cultural movement, bringing together artists from different backgrounds to create something truly special.”
The boys from Major Lazer also couldn’t hide their excitement as they said:
“We had a blast working with Don Diablo and Baby Lawd on this one. “Jiggy Woogie” embodies the spirit of collaboration and the joy of music, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Jiggy Woogie indeed embodies the very essence of collaboration between different musical and ethnic backgrounds. Tracks like these perfectly show that when enough goodwill is present, even the most distinct of musical combinations can work out in the end. As demonstrated during Don Diablo & Major Lazer’s joint performance at the Untold Festival in Dubai, the sheer beauty of different styles coming together is unparalleled.
