Canadian pop sensation Shawn Desman and powerhouse vocalist Jamie Fine have joined forces to release “Body”, a track already making waves and now officially spinning on South African radio.
Touted as one of the biggest pop anthems of the year, the song blends infectious energy with undeniable chemistry.
A Chart-Topping Hit From the Start
Upon release in Canada, “Body” quickly became the #1 most added track at Top 40 radio and topped the overall charts across the country in its first week.
Now, the track is poised to make just as big of an impact in South Africa, lighting up playlists with its danceable beats and high-energy vibe.
A Celebration of Movement and Creative Synergy
From its opening notes, “Body” delivers pure, electrifying pop. The collaboration celebrates freedom, movement, and a shared creative vision between two celebrated artists. Desman’s rhythmic flair meets Fine’s raw vocal emotion, resulting in a sound that’s both fresh and instantly addictive.
Multi-platinum artist and JUNO Award winner Shawn Desman describes “Body” as a moment of pure connection.
“There’s something about this song that just hits – the vibe, the energy, the freedom. Jamie brought everything to this collaboration and more. We wanted to create something that makes people feel alive – and I think we nailed it.” says Shawn.
