Chicago-born DJ and producer Honey Dijon has detailed her second studio album, Black Girl Magic. The follow-up to 2017’s The Best of Both Worlds arrives November 18 via Classic Music Company. The new LP includes contributions from Eve, Pabllo Vittar, Josh Caffe, Mike Dunn, and many more. Earlier this week, Dijon shared her latest single “Show Me Some Love,” which features Channel Tres and Sadie Walker. Listen to that below and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.
“This album is dedicated to love. Love of music, community, but most of all the love of self,” Honey Dijon said of Black Girl Magic in a press release. “Being true to who you are in spite of everything else and having the courage to love fearlessly.”
Of “Show Me Some Love,” collaborator Channel Tres said: “I had a lot of fun working with Honey on this track, and it’s been fun through each step of the process. We weren’t together so it’s always exciting to see where a collaborator will take the record when you send your parts over and this one was special to me. It’s everything I love about underground dance music confident, and sexy.”
Eve—who appears on a song titled “In the Club”—added: “I’m so excited to be a part of this album! Working with Honey Dijon and Luke Solomon was so fun and something so different to what I’ve ever done before—singing for the first time on a house beat!”
Honey Dijon worked closely with Classic Music Company founder Luke Solomon, as well as frequent collaborator Chris Penny on the production, which was influenced by Dijon’s musical upbringing in Chicago. “Show Me Some Love” follows previous singles “Work” (featuring Cor.Ece, Dave Giles II, and Mike Dunn) and “Love Is a State of Mind” (featuring Ramona Renea).
For the visual world of Black Girl Magic, Honey Dijon worked with British sculptor Jam Sutton, who crafted 3D sculptural digital renderings of the musician. “It was such a pleasure collaborating with Honey on a series of sculptures,” Sutton wrote in press materials. Sutton continued:
