SB19 has released a new dance-pop track, “Ready,” following their recent collaboration with Filipino-American hip-hop superstar Apl.de.Ap. The track, featuring bombastic beats and exciting sonic builds, effortlessly captures summer sound. SB19 and Apl.de.Ap have created a confident bop with global appeal and strong crossover potential, making it a great follow-up to their recent bop.
Keith Harris, a longtime collaborator of the Black Eyed Peas, produced the song. According to Apl.de.Ap, Harris did a fantastic job blending pop music influences with electronic elements, dance music, and Afrobeats. The resident BEP rapper also penned “Ready” with Jean-Baptiste, Vince Nantes, and Denzel.
On the other hand, SB19’s very own Pablo and Josue (Radkidz) contributed to the track’s production, adding final touches and subtle sonic elements. With party-starting vocals gliding atop carefully structured production, “Ready” highlights the individual strengths of both SB19 and Apl.de.Ap while nurturing their chemistry with pure, spontaneous joy.
“We never got the chance to record together in a single booth, but Apl.de.Ap was such a great guy to work with,” shares SB19’s Justin. “It’s an honor to collaborate with a global superstar of his caliber. We’ve learned so much from his generosity and creative feedback.”
SB19’s Stell was also ecstatic about sharing how game-changing the entire experience was. “It was something new for the group. We appreciate the chance to delve into new genres and production styles that come with unfamiliar territory. But with Apl.de.Ap at the helm of the creative process, we’re blessed to take on this assignment. It’s not every day that you get to work with an artist you look up to.”
SB19 and Apl.de.Ap’s “Ready” is now available worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment on all digital music platforms.
