The sapphic-themed new track was born from a studio session where they “made a ton of songs,” Karol G told Rolling Stone
Two Colombiana reinas have teamed up to bring back OG reggaeton: Kali Uchis just released “Labios Mordidos,” a new collaboration with fellow superstar Karol G. The song carries an old-school reggaetón energy, as the artists sing sensually to each other about getting dirty in the dark, with Uchis declaring, “Tonight I’m a lesbian, you make me want it.”
Both stars have been teasing their new collab, which follows Bichota Season‘s “Me Tengo Que Ir,” for some time now. Karol G recently sang her verse in the collaboration while performing at the Billboard Music Awards. There, she won the award for Top Latin Female Artist and Top Latin Touring Artist.
Karol G teased their work together in an interview for her Rolling Stone cover story. “We’ve spent a year and a half talking about this,” Karol said at the time. “We’ve seen each other, gone to the studio together; she’s been at my house, I’ve been to her house. But Kali is like me, we’re like ‘zero pressure.’ “We made a ton of songs, and she would tell me, ‘I don’t like that one,’ and I’d tell her, ‘I’m not feeling it either.’”
During a conversation at the Grammy Museum, Uchis first revealed that the new song with Karol included sapphic themes. “Labios Mordidos” is set to be featured on Uchis’ upcoming album Orquídeas.
Along with Karol G, the LP is set to feature Rauw Alejandro on “No Hay Ley Parte 2” and Peso Pluma on “Igual Que Un Ángel.” Other songs on the LP are titled “Perdiste,” “Heladito” and “Me Pongo Loca.”
Prior to the Karol G collab’s release, Uchis dropped singles “Te Mata” and “Muñekita” with El Alfa and JT from City Girls.
