The duo’s first collaboration together drops ahead of National Spicy Margarita Day
Multi-platinum global superstars Jason Derulo and Michael Bublé are bringing the heat on National Spicy Margarita Day with a fiery new track, “Spicy Margarita,” available now via Atlantic Records. The surefire hit sampled from Dean Martin’s iconic “Sway,” which Bublé famously covered on his debut studio album over 20 years ago. Bublé’s version of “Sway” has amassed more than 415 million global streams to date.
The first-ever musical collaboration from the two chart-topping international icons, “Spicy Margarita” follows Bublé’s recent appearance on the premiere episode of Derulo’s new podcast series, On The Road, co-hosted by Sincere Show and is available now via all leading podcast providers.
“Michael’s music has been a major part of my life. So, I played him ‘Spicy Margarita’, and he jumped on it immediately. He asked, ‘Is it okay if me and my guys add some orchestration?’ I was like, ‘Hell fucking yeah!’. His version was unbelievable. It was exactly what I envisioned. It has a Latin feel with a little Brazilian funk. I’m really excited for everyone to hear it,” Derulo shares.
“The roots of what I do and what I love – the standards, the Great American Songbook – fit so perfectly with everything Jason is creating musically, Bublé adds. “Mixing the old school standards with a more modern pop sound was only a matter of time, and I knew if anyone was going to get it, it would be Jason. Right away I was excited, and then I listened to the demo and was blown away. I’m thrilled for everyone to finally hear ‘Spicy Margarita’ and hope you love it as much as we do.”
“Spicy Margarita” kicks off what looks to be another busy year for the indefatigable Derulo. The chart-topping sensation is to unveil the curtain on his 27-song project Nu King on February 16th via Atlantic Records. The project will include his previously released hit singles and new music.
Last year saw a non-stop series of releases from the industrious superstar including his acclaimed collaboration with fellow multi-platinum global superstar, Grammy Award-winner Meghan Trainor, “Hands On Me.” The track was teased across social media by both artists and showcased by Derulo with a spectacular live performance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. The fun video also featured superstar socialite + businesswoman, Paris Hilton, and paid homage to and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the hit reality show, The Simple Life, which Hilton co-starred alongside her best friend Nicole Richie.
With his Nu King album, Derulo is set to embark on the Nu King World Tour, with dates in Portugal, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain slated through June 2024.
The ever-active Derulo is following his recently-wrapped first season as a judge on The Voice Australia by co-starring alongside Alexandra Shipp (Barbie, X-Men: Apocalypse) in Underwater, a neo-noir romantic thriller presented by Interval Presents, Warner Music Group’s in-house podcast network. A rollercoaster love story told in the form of a narrative album, the series features new, original music from Derulo woven into the story and score, creating an innovative and immersive listening experience and making for a groundbreaking event at the cutting edge of audio entertainment.
Bublé has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide throughout his extraordinary career and has enjoyed enormous success as one of the top touring artists of all time. With a career that includes five Grammys, 15 Juno Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame, six multi-platinum albums, and over 14 billion global streams, Michael has spent the past two decades deeply committed to not only keep the flames of the Great American Songbook alive and well – to not only breathe new life into them – but to bring his singular style, vocal power, and passion to timeless tunes that he loves. He released his self-titled debut album on Reprise Records in 2003, followed by a series of multi-platinum, No. 1 albums including Call Me Irresponsible in 2007, Crazy Love in 2009, To Be Loved in 2013, Love in 2018, and Christmas in 2011. In 2022, Michael’s 11th studio album Higher marked his ninth Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and seventh consecutive studio album to debut in the Top 3. Known for his world-class showmanship and spectacular concert production, he has performed sold-out shows in over 30 countries. With unstoppable talent, energy and a voice that is equally at home singing standards, pop, swing, jazz, R&B, and comedy, Michael takes his audiences on a special journey every night – singing his heart out, serenading them with beautiful love songs, making them laugh, cry, and dance – to give them an evening they will never forget.
