Heidi Klum, renowned for her successful career in modeling and presenting, has now ventured into the world of music. At 48, she has broadened her repertoire by collaborating with American rapper Snoop Dogg, 50, for her debut single.
Creating a hit song was high on Klum’s list of goals for the new year, and she was adamant that “there was only one person I wanted to sing with.” The collaboration also involved producer duo Weddingcake, and together, they crafted an energetic dance track titled “Chai Tea With Heidi,” set to light up clubs in 2022.
For the promotional visuals, the German beauty struck a pose in a sultry black lace outfit paired with fishnets, while Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., made a statement in a vibrant orange fur-trimmed jacket.
Klum shared with The Sun that she loves stepping out of her comfort zone and taking on new challenges. “I knew there was only one person I wanted to sing with.
I am a huge Snoop Dogg fan and I figured I needed to go big or go home,” she explained. “I contacted him about the idea and, to my surprise and delight, he invited me to come to his studio. Sometimes, I need to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming this because it is truly a dream come true.”
She praised Snoop Dogg for helping her achieve the song’s goal: to make people want to dance and have fun. A nod to her British fans and an homage to Sir Rod Stewart, Klum even included two lines from Stewart’s hit “Baby Jane” in her debut single.
“Chai Tea With Heidi” is further elevated by being the title song for the 17th season of “Germany’s Next Topmodel,” which Klum hosts. This new musical endeavor showcases her ever-expanding talents and her willingness to explore new artistic avenues.
