You might not readily associate Miguel's languid delivery with Kacey Musgrave's Nashville twang, but one listen to the duo's "Waves" off of Miguel's Rogue Waves—which also includes a percussive version by Tame Impala and a synth-heavy rendition by Travi$ Scott—and the pairing seems natural, obvious even. 

"I feel like it's gonna be a good, summer, slow, chill jam," Musgraves says of the track, which sounds like a welcome hybrid between "Drunk in Love" and Chromeo's "Lost on the Way Home." That said, "It was a challenge. It was different figuring out, 'How am I going to make this song me?' I didn't want it to sound like I'm just covering a Miguel song. I wanted it to sound like me."

In order to give her version of "Waves" the Musgraves treatment, Kacey—along with some of her favorite local Nashville musicians—played the song in a lower key, slowed it down, shuffled a few chords around, and added a Spaghetti Western-esque guitar lick at the 2:07 mark. The Grammy winner also added a cat-and-mouse vocal pattern that transformed the track into a slinky duet: "It's kind of fun to hear it from a male and female perspective," she says of the result. "I like that the bridge is sort of aggressively sexual. You don't normally hear a female singing something like that." (Perhaps she's referring to the very sexy line, "I'ma bully that thing, baby light's out"?)

Watch the duo trade surfside innuendos in the exclusive, minute-long teaser video, above, and then play the song on repeat straight through to sangria season.
