Disney superstar and Justin Bieber’s on again, off again girlfriend, Selena Gomez dropped her highly anticipated solo project Stars Dance earlier this week. One of the hottest tracks on the album happens to be the ridiculously infectious “Like A Champion, which opens with the booming voice of GRAMMY-winning reggae icon Buju Banton, as sampled from his mid-’90s hit single “Champion.”
The original “Champion” was featured on Buju Banton’s critically acclaimed 1995 album, Til Shiloh. Eighteen years later, the catchy dancehall tune is still a fan favorite, garnering regular airplay on reggae radio in Jamaica and internationally. Gomez re-sings part of Banton’s hook in this sexy new version, co-produced by powerhouse pop music writers, Daniel James, Leah Haywood, Bebe Rexha and Peter Thomas.
Who knew Selena Gomez was into a likkle reggae, now I know why Justin Bieiber likes her so much! Gomez’ new album ‘Stars Dance’ is available now on iTunes.
