Brazilian singer-songwriter, activist, and drag queen Pabllo Vittar has teamed up with Rina Sawayama for a new song. It’s called “Follow Me” and it arrives with a music video directed by Amber Park alongside creative director Lauren Kessler. Watch Vittar and Sawayama walk the runway in vintage Dior in the clip below.
“I’m so excited to release this song with Rina,” Vittar said in a press release. “She is such an icon and I’m so pleased we managed to make this song work as it’s the perfect combination of our music styles. I really hope the fans love it as much as we do. Shooting the video was so much fun as well, wearing iconic outfits, and strutting our stuff on the runway! SERVE!”
Sawayama added: “I have been such an admirer of Pabllo for so long—she is nothing short of an icon and so for us to collaborate on an original I wanted a moment that felt fitting. When she sent me the idea for Follow Me I was just in love with it immediately and the process from then has been a dream. From working on the music to the video, I’m honored to be a part of the song and be let into her world – I hope both hers and my gorgeous fans are as obsessed with it as we are.”
Sawayama dropped her self-titled debut in 2020. Last year, Vittar issued Batidão Tropical.
