Germany’s boundary-pushing collective Bees & Honey continue their meteoric rise with the release of CC Like That, their first solo track of 2025. Following a year that already saw five original releases, this Afrohouse-driven single reflects the group’s expansive creative vision and cultural ambition.
Following the global success of their reimagined version of Show Me Love—which broke into the worldwide Top 10 and cemented Bees & Honey as Germany’s DJ act with the highest monthly listeners—CC Like That marks a defining moment in their journey. The track delivers an infectious blend of hypnotic rhythms, cultural depth, and vibrant summer energy.
Opening with a poignant Zulu refrain, the track sets a deeply rooted tone:
“Let’s talk and remember generations / In our country we live with love and enthusiasm / A medium fire doesn’t just go out / Our voice rise like the falling rain.”
These words anchor the song in tradition, evoking resilience and unity, before giving way to English verses delivered by Jazz Montell Wade that infuse the track with youthful exuberance. The repetitive “CC CC CC” hook acts as a hypnotic mantra, fusing ancestral wisdom with modern-day celebration.
The sonic identity of CC Like That mirrors the diverse origins of Bees & Honey. Formed by members of acclaimed production team Hitimpulse—Jonas Kalisch, Henrik Meinke, Jeremy Chacon, Aleksej Vlasenko—alongside Jazz Montell Wade, the group merges Berlin’s cutting-edge dance sound with soulful rhythms of hip-hop, R&B, and Afrohouse. Their collective heritage spans Germany, the UK, France, Russia, and Jamaica, culminating in a sound both innovative and rooted in cultural tradition.
With over 6 billion streams on Spotify and collaborations with artists such as Tyla, Ellie Goulding, Craig David, Zara Larsson, Ruger, and Victony, Bees & Honey have established themselves as a global force. CC Like That marks a new chapter—one that blends ancestral voices with modern sonic textures.
CC Like That is available worldwide on all digital platforms starting September 26, 2025.
