Nigerian music star Skales is setting his sights on an ambitious international collaboration as he hopes to feature Chris Brown on the remix of his hit track, “Shake Body.” This comes as the 2014 Afrobeat anthem enjoys a remarkable revival, nearly a decade after its release.
The renewed attention for "Shake Body" was triggered after the song appeared in an episode of the American dance series Step Up: High Water. Not only did it soundtrack a vibrant routine, but Barcelona forward Yamine Lamal was also recently seen dancing to the track, giving it an extra wave of global visibility and sparking interest among a new audience.
Taking to his social media pages, Skales expressed his desire to bring American R&B sensation Chris Brown on board for a remix. His tweet quickly gained traction among fans who were thrilled by the possibility of a fusion between Afrobeat and American R&B a move that could potentially elevate the track’s international appeal.
Originally dropped as the lead single from Skales’ Man of the Year album, “Shake Body” was a defining moment in his career. The music video itself has a backstory, as it was funded by fellow Nigerian star Olamide at a time when Skales was going through financial difficulties. That act of support became a major turning point in his rise to stardom.
Now, with the song experiencing a global resurgence, the timing for a remix couldn’t be more ideal. A collaboration with Chris Brown, who has previously worked with African artists like Wizkid and Davido, could further cement “Shake Body” as a timeless Afrobeat classic.
With fans buzzing and Skales manifesting the collaboration, all eyes are on what could be a major international musical moment.
