At noon Thursday (Nov. 5), Maluma and The Weeknd dropped a surprise new bilingual version of “Hawái,” featuring the latter singing the opening verses in English and the chorus in Spanish. In other words, this wasn’t a last-minute, let’s-slap-this-together remix, but a let-me-write-a-new-verse-and-work-on-my-Spanish collaboration. Still, recording of the song, filming the video and releasing it Thursday jointly between Sony Music Latin and RCA took only a month’s time. Originally, Maluma didn’t want to do a remix, says Miguel Lua, who oversees Maluma’s music career and strategy in partnership with WK president Walter Kolm. As it turns out, Maluma doesn’t have any bilingual remixes, and in this particular case, he wasn’t looking for one. “But we did discuss that if we ever did a remix, regardless of who it was, it had to be someone big," says Lua. "He had a short list of artists he wanted to work on in general.”
