Samora & Beenie Man – Wine Up Your Waist

Samora and Beenie Man link up on “Wine Up Your Waist” for a straight dancefloor record, the kind of song built to pull dancers in before the first verse is even done. The title says exactly where the energy sits: waistline business, flirtation, rhythm, and the call-and-response tension that has long powered dancehall’s most physical records. With Beenie Man on the mic, the track carries the easy authority of someone who has spent decades making songs for the party, while Samora adds a modern, international edge that fits the way she moves between reggae, dancehall, and Afro-inflected sounds.

Beenie Man needs little introduction in Jamaican music. Born Moses Anthony Davis in Kingston, he came up as one of dancehall’s defining voices and became one of the genre’s most recognizable global names through a long run of hit singles and major collaborations. Samora, meanwhile, is the Surinamese-Dutch singer based in Switzerland who has been steadily widening her reach with reggae and dancehall releases, and she has been especially visible in recent years through a string of collaborations that frame her as an artist comfortable in both conscious and party settings. That combination makes this pairing feel natural rather than forced.

The release is tied to Staudenmann Productions, the Bern-based camp that has been central to Samora’s recent work. That context matters: this is a producer team with a clear lane in modern reggae and dancehall, and the song fits into that catalog as a contemporary club-minded cut rather than a roots exercise. The year attached to the release is 2026, and that places it among Samora’s newer run of cross-border collaborations. What comes through is less about heavy conceptual writing and more about groove, chemistry, and that familiar dancehall directive to move.
