R&B up-and-comer Bazzi released his debut album, Cosmic, in April 2018, following on the phenomenal success of his hit "Mine." Having opened for Camila Cabello's Never Be The Same Tour earlier this year, the two artists reimagined the Cosmic track "Beautiful" as a duet, expected out Aug. 2.

On Aug. 1 both artists tipped a 10-second preview of their "Beautiful" duet, setting hearts throbbing for more. Besides the song's title, all we know so far, from the first 10 seconds, is that their sonic blend sounds romantic and beautiful.
As for whether this is the first of future collaborations, it sounds like we'll just have to wait and see: "When both of us get free time, we're definitely going to get back in the studio and work on some stuff," Bazzi told Billboard.
For these two busy artists, free time lately has been hard to come by. Cabello opened for Bruno Mars last year, has been opening for Taylor Swift this year and meanwhile is still on her own tour for her 2018 debut solo album, Camila. Bazzi has played several dates on his own Cosmic Tour and is scheduled to perform at Austin City Limits in October.
As hard as it might be for these two artists to find free time, when tomorrow's duet drops, they just might have to compare schedules and get going on a follow-up.
