German duo WITH U join forces with Ugandan rising star Joshua Baraka for their new single “Girl In Ibiza,” arriving March 13 via Crash Your Sound. Born from a spontaneous online moment, the collaboration captures the effortless chemistry between two artists operating in different corners of the global music landscape.
The track’s origin traces back to a casual scroll through TikTok, where WITH U discovered a studio clip of Joshua Baraka singing what would become the song’s instantly recognizable topline. Inspired by the melody and emotion, the duo quickly rebuilt the idea in their DAW and shared their version online—prompting an immediate response from Joshua Baraka and turning a fleeting moment into a fully realized release.
Musically, “Girl In Ibiza” blends Joshua Baraka’s warm, soulful vocal delivery with WITH U’s melodic, groove-driven production. The result sits comfortably between sunlit escapism and open-air emotion, channeling the laid-back allure of Ibiza while reflecting a broader fusion of European electronic textures and East African influence. It’s a track that feels built for movement—equally suited to beachside sets and late-night dancefloors.
Reflecting on the track’s creation, WITH U share: “We were just scrolling through TikTok one evening when we stumbled upon this clip of Joshua in the studio… It instantly caught us—the vibe, the emotion, everything. We opened our DAW right away, built a remake around it, and posted it back as a reaction. Joshua saw it, loved it, and that’s how the collaboration was born.”
Joshua Baraka adds: “That video was just me in the studio, having fun with an idea I’d been humming all day… When I saw how WITH U used my vocals on TikTok I was blown away. It felt fresh, it felt right. We connected instantly and decided to make it official.”
With both artists building momentum in their respective scenes, “Girl In Ibiza” stands as a natural meeting point—where digital discovery, global collaboration, and genre-fluid production converge. It’s a reminder of how quickly ideas can travel—and how, when the chemistry is right, they can turn into something far bigger than their origin.
