Today Columbian born, now Canadian based artist Lido Pimienta has released “Eso Que Tu Haces” (Austra’s Genocracy Remix). Featured on Pimienta’s widely celebrated sophomore album Miss Colombia, “Eso Que Tu Haces” is a roaring declaration of discovery, as Pimienta exhales loudly, “Eso que tu haces / no es amor” (“that thing you do / is not love”).
Canadian producer Austra (aka Katie Stelmanis) remixes “Eso Que Tu Haces” by blending pulsing and electronic sounds with Lido Pimienta’s anthemic vocals, reggaeton and cumbia inspired beats.
“I don’t mean to brag but I recognized Lido as a superstar years before everyone else did and I’m very happy the rest of the world has finally caught up,” Austra said. “It was an absolute honor to remix this track para mi reina.”
Pimienta will also featured on The Room, the upcoming album from super-producer Ricky Reed (Lizzo, Jason Derulo) which will be released on August 28. The record will also feature contributions from Duendita, Leon Bridges, and Jim James.
Yesterday it was announced that Miss Colombia made the 2020 The Polaris Prize Short List. No stranger to The Polaris Prize, Lido’s album La Papessa took home the grand prize in 2017. The winner will be announced on October 19.
