Felipe Amorim Critiques Ludmilla Collaboration While Anitta Prepares New Hit with Shakira

Brazilian singer Felipe Amorim recently expressed his disappointment with his collaboration with Ludmilla on the 2024 song "Jogadora Cara." During a fan Q&A, Amorim revealed he had no direct communication with Ludmilla during the recording process, in contrast to the accommodating Dennis, another featured artist on the track. Despite traveling to Rio de Janeiro to work with such prominent artists and his frustration over the lack of interaction, Amorim emphasized his admiration for Ludmilla's work. Meanwhile, Anitta announced a highly anticipated collaboration with international star Shakira. Their new single "Choka Choka" will be released on digital platforms on April 9, ahead of Anitta's upcoming album "Equilibrivm," set to drop on April 16. Anitta described the track as a powerful and danceable song she loves and called Shakira's involvement iconic and special. The album will also feature collaborations with notable Brazilian artists including Luedji Luna, Rincon Sapiência, and King Saints. This is not the first time Anitta and Shakira have worked together; Anitta appeared in Shakira's video for "Soltera," with Shakira publicly praising her on social media. Shakira is also slated to perform a free concert in Rio de Janeiro on May 2 as part of the "Todo Mundo no Rio" project, expected to draw large crowds at Praia de Copacabana.
