Jamaica’s Cholita shares her new single and music video “Without You” via Mixpak. Joined by Skillibeng, “Without You” follows her debut single “Next Time,” whose music video has surpassed 1.5+ million views following its release in September and made waves internationally with radio support from London’s BBC Radio 1, Kiss, Capital, and New York’s Hot97, among others.

 

 

For her second single, “Without You”, she teams up with Jamaican superstar Skillibeng for an R&B-steeped dancehall love song. “Without You” finds Cholita deep in her feels, meeting her match in badman Casanova Skillibeng. A sultry love song with a soundsystem rattling sub-bass, Cholita’s ethereal vocal layers sit perfectly with Skillibeng’s enticing delivery.

About Cholita:

Cholita’s music is reflective of Jamaica’s rich musical history. Like so many artists that have emerged from the island, her sound has an instant global resonance. Drawing from a kaleidoscope of genres – dancehall, contemporary R&B, hip hop, pop, indie, Latin – she builds her own sonic language: hypnotic, sensual, and defiant. Raised in Kingston by a Jamaican father immersed in the country’s music industry and a Peruvian mother rooted in Lima’s jazz scene, music was never just a backdrop; it was a way of life. Whether you’re listening alone in your bedroom or in the middle of a sweaty dance floor, her songs land with visceral power: anchored by sound system low-end and polyrhythmic syncopation, yet lit with lyrical intimacy. Still early in her journey, Cholita already sounds like an artist with a point of view, weaving her heritage and instinct into songs that move.
