South Korean-born DJ and producer Peggy Gou links up with Ayra Starr on a fresh summer single called “Wo,man,” and it dropped yesterday via XL Recordings.
Gou said she always knew she wanted a voice that could match the uplifting summer energy she was building, and the moment she shared the record with Ayra, she got it instantly. That instinct shows. These two don’t sound like they’re meeting for the first time on a song, the chemistry actually feels natural from the jump.
Built on a hypnotic nineties house groove, the track mixes irresistible melodies with that deliberately silly “adigidang dang dang di dang” hook that gets stuck in your head immediately. Ayra Starr brings her usual confident, carefree delivery on top, and together they push “Wo,man” into that rare category of songs that work equally well in a club or on a beach.
The music video directed by Onda also leans into late nineties and early 2000s nostalgia, which adds another fun layer to the whole package. For Ayra Starr, this adds yet another international collaboration to a year that keeps getting bigger for her. And for Peggy Gou, it’s another reminder that her ear for the right voice on the right record is hard to beat. “Wo,man” is your summer soundtrack. Stream it now.
