Arguably, the Caribbean’s hottest soca song of the year is getting a little international star-powered boost. The Greatest Bend Over, the chart-topping hit from Trinidadian breakout star Yung Bredda, is set to drop a sizzling new remix this Friday, August 15, and it’s bringing together an unexpected but electric trio of voices.
Joining the track are Grammy-nominated American singer Chlöe Bailey, one-half of R&B sister duo Chloe x Halle, and Ghanaian sensation Moliy, whose hit Shake It to the Max featuring Jamaican stars Shenseea and Skillibeng dominated global charts earlier this year. Together, they’re adding fresh fire to Full Blown’s popular “Big Links” riddim, layering sultry verses, bold ad-libs, and carnival-ready vocal stacks over the zess-infused production that’s been ruling the airwaves since December 2024.
For Yung Bredda, this remix comes at a high point in his skyrocketing career. Since its release, The Greatest Bend Over has racked up over 11.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams and a staggering 44.4 million global streams, while also earning him three nominations at the upcoming Caribbean Music Awards on August 28, including Zess-Steam Artist of the Year, People’s Choice, and Soca Impact Award. The song’s infectious rhythm has already inspired multiple remixes, including one from dancehall icon Sean Paul just weeks ago.
The new Chlöe and Moliy version lands just in time for Notting Hill Carnival (August 23–25) and will be accompanied by a vibrant music video celebrating the spirit of carnival across the diaspora, from St. Lucia to London. Chlöe, who attended St. Lucia Carnival in July, has a personal connection to the region; her 2024 sophomore album Trouble in Paradise was inspired by her time on the island. She teased the collab to her fans with a playful Instagram post dancing to the remix, captioned: “Surprise! The Greatest Bend Over remix out 8/15.”
For Moliy, whose Shake It to the Max peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and claimed the top spot on U.S. Afrobeats Songs and Rhythmic Airplay charts, the collaboration could be pivotal. While she’s enjoyed the runaway success of that single, another breakout hit has yet to follow, and this high-profile soca meets Afrobeats moment may be just the push she needs to reignite the charts.
With its blend of soca energy, Afrobeats flair, and R&B polish, this remix of The Greatest Bend Over could easily become one of the defining sounds of the summer.
