Jason Derulo has unwrapped the official music video for his acclaimed collaboration with fellow multi-Platinum global superstar, GRAMMY Award-winner Meghan Trainor, “Hands On Me (Feat. Meghan Trainor),” watch.
Directed by Daniel Russell (SZA, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott), the colourfully clever visual sees both superstars trying out “The Simple Life” in a classic reality TV take-off, highlighted by a special appearance from the one and only Paris Hilton. The hit reality show starring Paris Hilton and best friend Nicole Richie, recently celebrated its 20 year anniversary.
“Hands On Me” is available now via Atlantic Records. The track – which was teased across social media by both artists and showcased by Derulo with a spectacular live performance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, streaming – was met by critical applause from the likes of American Songwriter, which raved, “Derulo has made a career of consistently switching up his sonic direction.
“Both artists seem in their element on this nostalgic song.” Last month saw Derulo kicking off the holiday season with his joyous new single, “Closer to Christmas.”
The festive track marks the latest in the indefatigable superstar’s non-stop series of releases, including such hits as the tempo-changing smash, ”Slow Low” (and the Latin-flavoured “Slow Low (Remix) [Feat. Yng Lvcas]”) and the smoothly dynamic “Glad U Came,” joined by an official music video, directed by Derulo on location in beautiful Bali and streaming now at YouTube. In addition, Derulo stripped back “Glad U Came” to create the ideal romantic theme for summer wedding season, “Glad U Came (Acoustic Wedding Version),” available now.
Other recent favourites include the sultry club-pop hit, “When Love Sucks (Feat. Dido),” interpolating Dido’s 1999 top 3 hit single, “Thank You,” famously sampled in Eminem’s classic “Stan.” The ultimate showcase for both artists’ signature approach towards club-ready pop anthems, the irresistibly energetic track is joined by an official dance video streaming at Derulo’s hugely popular YouTube channel.
Derulo is currently traveling on the typically globe-straddling “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 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 brand 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.
Underwater premiered October 31 on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays. The podcast topped the Apple Podcast charts at #1.
