Girl Talk T-Pain and Yaeji team-up: Girl Talk, the experimental DJ and producer also known as Gregg Gillis, has teamed up with Grammy-winning artist T-Pain and electronic music sensation Yaeji for the new single “Believe in Ya.” Released on Wednesday, the track is a vibrant blend of disco, French house, and modern electronic elements, built around a sample from Change’s 1981 track “Hold Tight.”

Girl Talk T-Pain and Yaeji

“Believe in Ya” marks the second time Girl Talk and T-Pain have worked together, following their 2019 track “Getcha Roll On.” In this latest collaboration, T-Pain’s smooth and distinctive vocals deliver an inspiring chorus, encouraging listeners to believe in themselves. Yaeji’s ethereal voice joins in, adding a contrasting and uplifting layer to the song. The track showcases the unique strengths of each artist, creating an eclectic and cohesive anthem.

Crafting a Unique Sound

Girl Talk described the process of crafting “Believe in Ya” as an opportunity to blend styles in a transformative way. “T-Pain is a living legend, and an absolute master of his craft,” Gillis said in a press release. “I wanted to give him a different sound, something that takes elements from the past but transforms it into a modern style.”

Yaeji’s contribution added a distinctive element to the song, including a synth part used in the outro. “Her vocal style is obviously really different from T-Pain, and I loved how it worked as a contrasting element,” Gillis noted.

Positive and Uplifting Vibes

Yaeji shared her excitement about collaborating on a project with such an uplifting message. “It was a joy to create music that’s positive and uplifting, especially alongside T-Pain and Girl Talk,” she said.

Girl Talk, celebrated for his innovative use of samples, has continued to push creative boundaries in his music. His 2006 album Night Ripper was recognized by Rolling Stone as one of the “250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far,” highlighting his ability to create seamless, energetic mashups.

“Believe in Ya” serves as another testament to Gillis’ talent for blending genres and working with diverse artists. With its vibrant production and motivational lyrics, the single promises to resonate with fans and newcomers alike.

The track is available now on streaming platforms, offering listeners a dose of positivity and collaboration from three of music’s most distinctive voices.
