With playful wordplay and a catchy vibe, \u2018Cherry\u2019 is a journey through love, lust, and everything in between.\u201d The chemistry between the two artists feels effortless, taking the track to a place where fun and sensuality meet.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Anthony is just as excited about this new direction: \u201cI\u2019m so ready for everyone to hear \u2018Cherry\u2019. It\u2019s so different from anything I\u2019ve ever done, and it feels like the start of an insane new chapter for my music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also highlights how meaningful the collaboration was: \u201cGetting to make a song with Ajii has been one of the best experiences I\u2019ve had, I\u2019ll never forget hearing his verse for the first time and absolutely freaking out in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For AJII, this marks his fifth post-Idol release and possibly his boldest one yet. For Jordan, it\u2019s a reinvention, a step away from the emotional ballads of his past and into a fearless new sound. Both artists shine with authenticity, finding a delicate balance between pleasure and polish.<\/p>\n<p>With \u201cCherry,\u201d AJII and Jordan Anthony prove not only their vocal power and artistic chemistry, but also their readiness to step into the big leagues of pop. The track is a strong statement\u2014well-produced, confident, and memorable. If this is just the beginning of their post-Idol journey, there\u2019s no doubt both artists have a lot more heat to bring.Slide into AJII\u2019s world: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/forgetajii\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@forgetajii\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/forgetajii\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@forgetajii\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>SPIN Magazine newsroom and editorial staff were not involved in the creation of this content<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AJII\u2019s \u201cCherry\u201d is one of the most seductive singles you\u2019ll hear this season.
