Paras Griffin/WireImageMonths ago, Camila Cabello said she was a fan of Bazzi’s hit “Mine.” Then, Camila tapped Bazzi to open for her on her first solo tour. Now, the two are finally singing together, on a new version of Bazzi’s song “Beautiful.” Bazzi explains why it took so long for them to record something.
“We just been waiting to get something in the books and waiting for a moment where we could both shine together,” he tells ABC Radio. “And ‘Beautiful’ felt like the perfect time.”
Bazzi says it’s notable that he asked Camila to join him on this particular song, the original version of which appears on his dbut album Cosmic.
“That’s one of the first records I made in the direction of Bazzi and Cosmic and the whole sound,” he explains. “So, I mean, it’s such an important record to me, and putting her on it was big for me. But she crushed it!”
As for what Bazzi has learned from spending so much time around a chart-topping superstar like Camila, he acknowledges, “I learned a lot from her attitude, just seeing how sweet of a girl she was and how kind she was to everybody. That’s definitely something I picked up from her.”
Bazzi will play the Life Is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas this Friday, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival October 6 and 13.
