Anitta, DJ Khaled & Fat Joe Combine For “Paradise”

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Does summer have to end so early?

Has this summer been a standout for music? In my view, while we’ve had some impressive releases, we haven’t seen a lot of feel-good tracks, which we could definitely use given the intense drama between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. But just as summer wraps up, Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, and Anitta are here to spice things up with their new collaboration single, “Paradise.”

If I had to guess, the beat for “Paradise” might have been pulled from a hard drive labeled “2000s beats,” as it has a nostalgic, old-school Pretty Ricky vibe. The good news is that DJ Khaled, Anitta, and Fat Joe bring a modern touch to the track. Khaled delivers energetic ad-libs, Fat Joe offers playa-inspired verses about his charm and lavish lifestyle, and Anitta provides a sultry vocal performance reminiscent of Ashanti. Overall, the track is decent by today’s standards, but it would have been a hit back in 2005.

I miss the 2000s sounds so weird to say.
