Theodora, one of the most exciting new voices in the French music scene, is back with her boldest release yet. Her new single, ‘PAY!’, featuring chart-topping French rapper Guy2Bezbar, is set to release worldwide on April 25, and it already feels like the sound of summer.
After making waves in 2024 with her viral hit ‘Kongolese sous BBL’, the 21-year-old artist joins forces with Guy2Bezbar – who boasts over 3 million monthly Spotify listeners and a platinum hit with ‘Monaco’ (72M+ streams) – for a high-energy anthem produced by Jeez Suave, Junior Alaprod, and Zafy.
Both artists pushed boundaries last year, and now, together, they’re redefining them. ‘PAY!’ is an explosive encounter between two talents who are unafraid to break the mold, effortlessly blending rap, Afro beats, and electronic energy. Theodora plays a new card, and it’s a total power move.
