After months of anticipation, Tashi and Samuel Mancini have officially unveiled their latest collaborative single, “WAT3R,” out now via AWAL/Eric West Management Group. Released on October 3rd, the track marks the duo’s bold return—and it’s already turning heads across the globe.
The pair first made waves with their breakout hit “SOAK,” which dominated the charts by climbing to #1 on the U.S. iTunes R&B Chart, hitting the Top 3 in the U.K., and landing in the Billboard R&B Top 10. Now, with “WAT3R,” they’re diving even deeper into their shared musical chemistry, delivering a sultry, high-energy track designed to own the dance floor.
“WAT3R” (pronounced Water) features a lush, atmospheric soundscape built on sleek production by Qkeyzz and layered with seductive vocals and pulsating rhythms. The song was penned by a dream team that includes Tashi, Samuel Mancini, Lenisha Nelson, Dominique George, Eric West, Ebony Washington, and Qkeyzz, whose combined talents bring the song’s bold vision to life.
Alongside the duet, a solo version by Tashi has also been released, giving fans a more intimate look at her powerful vocal delivery and dynamic artistry. From Straight Outta Compton to her breakout roles in Harlem and Betty, Tashi’s screen presence has long been celebrated—but her music career continues to solidify her as a force beyond acting. Rolling Stone has dubbed her a “Breakout Star to Watch,” and “WAT3R” proves exactly why.
Samuel Mancini is also riding a massive wave of momentum. His recent Latin hit “Tu Eliges”—featuring Puerto Rican legends Eric West and Kedward Aviles—debuted at #1 on the Billboard Latin Singles Chart and earned a Ritmo Latino Award for Song of the Year. Co-written by industry icons Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the track further expanded Mancini’s musical reach.
His earlier release, FEED THE FIRE, garnered nearly 50 million streams and made a splash on Billboard, including a #1 on the Top New Artist Albums Chart and Top 10 placements across pop album categories. With a growing list of hits, viral videos, and genre-spanning collaborations, Mancini continues to prove he’s more than just a singer—he’s a movement.
With “WAT3R,” Tashi and Mancini once again tap into their undeniable synergy to deliver a track that’s both emotionally charged and ready to move crowds. It’s a bold evolution from “SOAK”—with deeper production, higher stakes, and global ambition.
Dive into “WAT3R” now—available on all streaming platforms. This isn’t just a comeback. It’s a tidal wave.
