New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today marks the release of the fire-filled video for "
Fuego" by DJ Snake,
Sean Paul &
Anitta ft.
Tainy - a track from multi-platinum producer DJ Snake's dynamic new album Carte Blanche. Directed by Colin Tilley (an award-winning filmmaker known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Timberlake), the video stars
DJ Snake alongside legendary Jamaican artist
Sean Paul and Brazilian singer/songwriter/actress Anitta.
The video for "
Fuego" finds all three artists entering a dark and fiery underworld resembling an old circus, complete with mirror mazes, fire tunnels, and shadowy forests. It follows DJ Snake's bright and colorful visual for "
Loco Contigo" (with J. Balvin & Tyga), a bilingual summer anthem also featured on Carte Blanche. Since premiering in June, "
Loco Contigo" has amassed over 153 million streams on YouTube and emerged as one of Spotify's most streamed songs of the summer.
A leading artist in the new generation of Latin American music,
Anitta is the biggest-ever global female pop star to come from Brazil. To date, she's amassed over 40 million Instagram followers and 12-plus million YouTube subscribers, garnering more than 3.8 billion views. Named among the world's 15th most influential musicians on social media by Billboard, she released her latest album (the trilingual KISSES) in April 2019 and is now at work on her first completely English solo album.
Hailing from St. Andrew, Jamaica, dancehall superstar
Sean Paul broke into the pop mainstream with his double-platinum, Grammy Award-winning 2002 album Dutty Rock. With nearly all of his albums so far nominated in the Best Reggae Album category at the Grammy Awards, his past releases also include Full Frequency — a chart-topping 2014 album featuring guest spots from such artists as
Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz. Earlier this year, he earned a nomination in the Favorite Crossover Artist category at the Latin American
Music Awards.
Along with "
Fuego" and "
Loco Contigo", Carte
Blanche includes the triple-platinum single "
Taki Taki" ft.
Selena Gomez,
Ozuna &
Cardi B (DJ Snake's second global #1 record), "Enzo" (a collaboration with Sheck Wes, featuring Offset,
21 Savage & Gucci Mane), and the India-inspired club smash "
Magenta Riddim". Released in July, the album is the second full-length from DJ Snake.
DJ Snake made his full-length debut with the 2016 album Encore, which hit #1 on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and debuted in the top 10 around the world. Since scoring his first #1 with the four-times-platinum "
Let Me Love You" ft. Justin Bieber,
DJ Snake has achieved massive success with hits like "
Get Low", "
You Know You Like It", "
Lean On", and "
Middle". With its title translating to "the freedom to do whatever one chooses," his sophomore album Carte
Blanche arrived in July 2019 and shot to #1 on Billboard's US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, in addition to reaching the top 50 on the Billboard 200.
