Thanks to this song, initially intended for Rihanna, a completely different artist saw her career explode in 2019. Discover the track that propelled this well-known rapper to the forefront.
There are some successes that we cannot anticipate. Did Rihanna pay the price? While Riri’s career includes countless hits, which have made her one of the biggest stars on the planet, one more hit song could have appeared on her charts. This track, streamed more than 50 million times on YouTube, has largely contributed to the success of its performer: Shay. During an interview for GQ Francethe rapper told the astonishing story of her track “Liquid” with Niska, released in 2019.
“ The production of Liquide was not intended for me. I was in seminary. The producer made the instrumental for Rihanna. I listened to it and I said to myself that she was never going to release an album. I was right because Rihanna still hasn’t published anything since. “, Shay first confided before adding: “ The producer spoke to me immediately. I played it to Niska behind the producer’s back. He also enjoyed it. We came back to the producer with the finished song. He couldn’t say anything anymore. » The instrumental was later rearranged by Le Motif – Shay’s brother, and voila. “Liquid” became a real hit during the summer of 2019. “Rihanna, that’ll be for next time. », concludes the rapper.
Shay recently released his new project called “Pourvu qu’il pleuve”, promoted with the singles “Jolie Go”, “Commando”, but also “Sans Cœur” once again with Niska.
