Feeling GRATEFUL? You will after hearing DJ Khaled's latest single from his upcoming 10th studio album. For his new collab, titled "Wild Thoughts," Khaled teamed up with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, which also samples one of the smoothest jams of all time: Santana and the Product G&B's "Maria Maria."
Over the famous "Maria Maria" rhythm and guitar melody, we hear verses from Rihanna and Bryson singing about the non-PG thoughts that run through their mind when they're with their significant other. Rih sings in the chorus, "When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts."
And in true DJ Khaled fashion, the producer also hit us with the official "Wild Thoughts" music video, which sees the trio in a tropical location, at what appears to be the largest outdoor dance party ever.
Despite all of the all-star recording artists DJ Khaled has worked with over the years, "Wild Thoughts" marks his first collaboration with Rihanna, believe it or not. In a recent interview on Entertainment Weekly: The Show, the mogul said:
"Seven, eight years I’ve been trying to do this. I always put the kites out there that I wanted to work with her. But at the same time, while I was putting the kites out there, I was always getting the right record ready. You’ve gotta start with the right energy to see if something comes back that’s possible."
GRATEFUL, executive produced by Khaled's baby boy Asahd Khaled, officially drops on June 23rd and features 23 new songs. The album includes a lineup of megastars including Beyoncé & Jay Z ("Shining"), Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne ("The One"), Drake ("To The Max"), in addition to Nas, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, Future, Calvin Harris, Rick Ross, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Jeremih, 21 Savage, Migos, 2 Chainz, T.I., PARTYNEXTDOOR, Kodak Black, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Pusha T, Yo Gotti, Mavado, Sizzla, Betty Wright, Raekwon, and Belly.
