“Cubana” follows a highly successful 2021 campaign for Joeboy that began with the release of his critically-lauded debut album, Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic, in February.
The project, named one of 2021’s Best Albums by Rolling Stone, hit No. 1 on Apple Music in 28 countries, amassing over 420 million streams globally.
“Cubana” arrives as Joeboy gets set to head out on his first U.S. tour dates this Spring. The singer joins Koffee as the opening act on The Gifted Tour from April 27 (Miami Beach) through May 2 (Charlotte, NC), before stepping out on his own for his headlining Young Legend Tour, from May 4 (Philadelphia) through May 30 (Seattle).
“I was in the studio trying to create a ‘heartbreak song ‘with my producer TYPE A, and there was this particular progression that was really vibey and trippy, and I just started playing around with it,” Joeboy recalls.
This is probably the most playful song I’ve ever released,” Joeboy says of “Cubana,” which serves as both a preview of his upcoming EP due out later this year, and an appetizer for fans ahead of this Spring’s tour dates.
