Grammy Award-winning artiste Mýa is celebrating 25 years in the music industry with the release of a pop and dancehall single titled Whine, featuring legendary Jamaican deejay Bounty Killer. The track, produced by DJ Hardwerk, echoes the nostalgia of the classic 2000 hit Girls Dem Sugar (2000) with Beenie Man, capturing the contemporary fusion of today’s dancehall and pop music.

Directed by Josh Sikkema and Derek Brown, and produced by Mýa herself, the music video showcases the colorful landscapes of Kingston, Jamaica. Authentic freestyle dance and choreography by local dancers breathe life into this visual feast. Mýa shares her excitement about the collaboration, saying, “Such a treat and good vibes, getting to work with another dancehall legend who blessed this record with so much energy! Big up to The General!”

Whine is being released on Mýa’s independent label, Planet 9, with distribution via InGrooves.

As part of an ongoing catalogue campaign, Mýa continues to celebrate her 25-year career. Collaborating with Interscope/UMe, the commemoration includes a digital deluxe 25th anniversary release of her debut album, MYA; a 20th anniversary deluxe edition of her third album, MOODRING; and a remixed and reimagined audio and heels choreography video of her debut single, It’s All About Me.
