Justin Bieber And Chance The Rapper Give Their ‘Holy’ Collaboration A Comforting Acoustic Remix
The two stars shared a soothing performance video for their new collaboration. …
A little under two months ago, Justin Bieber started his “new era” with the release of “Holy,” an uplifting collaboration with his longtime friend Chance The Rapper. Since then, the two stars used proceeds of the song to help fans affected by the pandemic and performed the song together on Saturday Night Live. Now, they’re giving it a little more life with a comforting acoustic remix. The video accompanying the remix strips away the elaborate storyline of the original, leaving Justin and Chance to perform directly to the camera in a space overlooking a gloomy city skyline.
After the initial release of “Holy,” Beiber followed up with the Benny Blanco-produced single “Lonely,” which detailed his turbulent teen years when he was driven by “ego and power,” according to a recent interview. Justin’s developed a bit of a sense of humor about his early career, making light of himself in the video for Drake and DJ Khaled’s “Popstar” while standing in for Drake.
Meanwhile, Chance popped up a few times to collaborate with friends and family this year, despite being otherwise quiet on the musical front. On MadeInTYO’s “BET Uncut,” he reunited with both TYO and Smino, he offered a suitably spiritual verse to Spillage Village’s Spilligion, and shared his spotlight with burgeoning fellow Chicago rapper Baha Banks on “Shake Dat Ass.”
Watch the acoustic remix performance of “Holy” above.

Jeffery journey’s from childhood streets to new heights on latest release “ALBANIE”
“ALBANIE” is a high energy song that was inspired by the streets that Jeffery grew up on. Jeffery’s “ALBANIE” brings you back to where his story began. More than a tip of the cap to a familiar place, the release offers a glimpse into his own path, what kept him going and the want that was there long before others saw his potential.
Jeffery connects his current musical journey to the formative experiences that molded him, drawing on the influences of his early surroundings. It has the feel of an artist looking back on his journey, how much work it took to get where he is now, and how far he’s come.
That energy is a response to the personal significance of the title, making the song a statement of progress as well as a tribute to the location of that progress. That removes some of the authenticity of the release. Success can alter the public’s perception of an artist, but the work behind that progression often begins long before the public becomes aware of it. Jeffery connects his current dreams with his earlier self by reassuming the name he once used in his youth.
ALBANIE is a statement of growth without losing your roots. It’s a mix of personal history, determination and a lively musical style that gets people moving to the beat. Jeffery’s proud of the work he’s done with this release, but also knows the foundation it’s laid. It’s a song that bridges hometown memories and future ambition, a reminder that where an artist starts can still be a vital part of where they’re going.
