First, Cashmere Cat and Ariana Grande teamed up for the My Everything track "Be My Baby," then they paired up for The Honeymoon Tour. Now, these two seem like tried and true collaborators. After teasing the track last week at a live show, today (March 3), Cashmere Cat dropped his debut single with his trusted collaborator, the sexy and smooth "Adore."

"Adore" is a glistening debut for Cashmere Cat, who has built up a name for himself in the mainstream music world lately by working with Grande, Kanye West ("Wolves"), Usher and Tinashe ("Body Language") and Charli XCX ("Break the Rules"). Though it brings in his poppy sensibilities, especially considering the Grande connection, the production is the real star of this track.

Grande is on hand in "Adore" mostly to play the sexy plaything. Her hushed vocals, injected periodically with some of her powerful notes, are a compliment to the R&B infused EDM fest that Cashmere Cat has crafted.

Lyrically, "Adore" is all about finally doing the deed with someone you see as more than a friend. "I gave you everything / You don't owe me anything / So are you ready baby? / You got me screaming my, my, my," Grande sings in her most yearning voice, before projecting a series of other nonsensical vocal coos.

Surrounding Grande's ethereal vocals, Cashmere Cat brings in a mix of hip-hop ready basslines with glitzy, IDM twinkling synths.

It's a stunning hit and sure to help launch Cashmere Cat into the next level of success.
