Austin Mahone Joins Forces With Pitbull On “Mmm Yeah”: Listen

Austin Mahone unleashed the third taste of his much-anticipated debut LP Junior Year today (January 24) and it couldn’t be more different than dance-pop gem “What About Love” or hip-hop excursion “Banga Banga”. The 17-year-old keeps us guessing about the album’s direction by tapping Pitbull for Latin-flavored earworm “Mmm Yeah”.

After a brief intro from Mr. Worldwide, Austin sings about losing his nerve when confronted with the girl of his dreams over percussion-heavy beats. It’s a much better fit for the teen than “Banga Banga” but I can’t help but think the YMCMB signee is still looking for his signature sound. Kudos to Pit for dropping the line “booty like Kriss Kross jump jump” though. That was good. Listen to “Mmm Yeah” after the break.
