Chicago-born DJ and producer Honey Dijon has announced her second album, Black Girl Magic. The follow-up to 2017’s The Best of Both Worlds arrives November 18 via Classic Music Company. The new LP includes contributions from Eve, Pabllo Vittar, Josh Caffe, Mike Dunn, and many more. Earlier this week, Dijon shared her latest single “Show Me Some Love,” which features Channel Tres and Sadie Walker. Listen to that below, and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.

“This album is dedicated to love. Love of music, community, but most of all the love of self,” Dijon said of Black Girl Magic in a press release. “Being true to who you are in spite of everything else and having the courage to love fearlessly.”

Of “Show Me Some Love,” collaborator Channel Tres said: “I had a lot of fun working with Honey on this track, and it’s been fun through each step of the process. We weren’t together so it’s always exciting to see where a collaborator will take the record when you send your parts over and this one was special to me. It’s everything I love about underground dance music confident, and sexy.”

Eve—who appears on a song titled “In the Club”—added: “I’m so excited to be a part of this album! Working with Honey Dijon and Luke Solomon was so fun and something so different to what I’ve ever done before—singing for the first time on a house beat!”

Honey Dijon worked closely with Classic Music Company founder Luke Solomon as well as frequent collaborator Chris Penny on the production, which was influenced by Dijon’s musical upbringing in Chicago. “Show Me Some Love” follows previous singles “Work” [ft. Cor.Ece, Dave Giles and Mike Dunn] and “Love Is a State of Mind” [ft. Ramona Renea].

For the visual world of Black Girl Magic, Honey Dijon worked with British sculptor Jam Sutton, who crafted 3D sculptural digital renderings of the musician. “It was such a pleasure collaborating with Honey on a series of sculptures,” Sutton wrote in press materials. Sutton continued:

Honey visited my studio where we spent an entire day discussing life and creativity. During this time, I captured a series of form studies using 3D scanning. Over two years, Honey and I worked together creating this body of work. I’m interested in the moment of transformation from human to digital form, from physical to virtual. Something is compelling about capturing a portrait of my subject as three-dimensional data, which I then refine to create sculptural pieces. I’m attempting to record not only the form and contours of flesh but also the essence of being; portraying human physicality suspended in digital space.

Earlier this year, Dijon featured on Beyonce’s Renaissance, co-producing “Cozy” and “Alien Superstar.” She also shared a remix of Bey’s lead single “Break My Soul.”
