Boza shares the story behind his hit song “París” with Sech, the creation of his “orióN” remix with Sistek and gives advice to people pursuing women who are already in relationships.
Boza: How was the collaboration with Sistek born? Well, on my team there’s someone very, very, very important, his name is Pedrito Alegría and he always kind of has… you could say, I don’t know, ideas, or he always contributes a lot to what I do. So, he was like, “Look, I have a buddy named Sistek, why don’t we do the ‘orióN’ remix, he wants to do it and everything.” And obviously we’re very, very open with all that. I’m a fan of electronic music too, so well, why not? It was born through Pedrito Alegría, that’s where we met, the collaboration happened and when I heard the song it was like, wow, something else, another vibe.
How do I see “orióN” ten years from now? “orióN” is my baby with Elena [Rose], you know? And “orióN” is a song that talks about emotional responsibility. I think it’s a song that’s going, going to endure quite a bit, you know? Since it’s not an empty song, it’s a song that has a very positive message, a message which a man can identify with, a woman can identify with. So, I think it’s not going to be one of those songs that are trendy, I think it’s a song that came to stay.
I think that the idea, I mean, no, not the idea, the experience of “París”, everyone at some point has had, as they say, that experience, it could be in “París,” it could be in other places in the world, whatever. But that song was born, I remember, in Andrés’ studio. They sent us a reference, like an intro, a chorus, obviously we loved it, and from there I added, so to speak, my point of view, my experience in “París”, in theory.
We had wanted for a while to record a song with Sech. We had already recorded some, but it hadn’t materialized, so to speak, right? Until now, we took advantage that there were other awards in Panama, and we were, so to speak, the host and all that, so, the attention was full, full on Panama. And it was like the best moment to do it together, you know? I’ve always said that God’s timing is perfect. We sent that song to Sech and he loved it and, so to speak, added his, his vibe, his flow there, and well, from there on, you know? What has happened has been very telling itself. The public had been waiting for it for a while and loved the song.

WHAM!’s “Last Christmas,” Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” and more classic holiday hits re-enter the top 10 of the Hot 100. Billboard chart experts explain how they feel about the classics making a comeback and what that means for the top 10. They also dive into “The Fate of Ophelia” breaking Taylor Swift’s personal record, Olivia Dean’s phenomenon, and RIIZE stopping by the studio to share how they worked on their latest album, ‘FAME,’ their thoughts on ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ and more!
RIIZE: Hi, Billboard. We are RIIZE! And you’re watching the Hot 100 Show.
Tetris Kelly: Happy holidays and welcome back to the Hot 100 Show. Our boys, Rise, are in the building today. Can’t wait to have them on set to talk about the new music. But, hey, Christmas is back in a big way, so let’s jump into the top 10. This is the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 for the week dated December 6th. “Opalite” falls down to No. 10, as Leon slips to nine. “Jingle Bell Rock” appears at No. 8. All right, there we have numbers 10 through eight, with a little surprising drop from Taylor Swift and a new incoming Christmas classic. How are we feeling about the top 10 so far?
Delisa Shannon: I love that it’s shaken up, y’all. I love to see it, personally. I see “Opalite” holding on real strong, which we knew. The fans love it, so, like, I’m really not surprised to see that one holding on. I saw Leon Thomas at Brooklyn Paramount last week.
Trevor Anderson: Oh, you were at the folk show? Was it the-
Delisa Shannon: For the folks, yeah.
Tetris Kelly: Nice, how was that?
Delisa Shannon: It was incredible. And it was so loud when “Mutt” was playing, so that’s exactly why “Mutt” is still on the top 10. Exactly why, but also, everyone was screaming every other song of Leon Thomas. So that was really impressive to me. You know, typically when you go to a show, when a song like this is on the charts, you see everyone pull out their phones for the one big song that everybody knows. That was not the case. That show was rocking, standing room only, like, elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder. So as we have discussed time and time again about Leon Thomas and his importance with R&B, I think getting to see it live was so, so, so incredibly cool.

Viral beauty expert Aditya Madiraju gives a step-by-step tutorial to Billboard on how to recreate the iconic smokey eye and matte face of Bollywood actress Rekha. Keep watching to see how you can achieve the same look and what products Aditya used!
Do you love a smokey eye? Let us know in the comments!
Neha Joy: Hey, guys. Welcome to Billboard’s Rock the Look. I’m Neha Joy here with beauty expert Aditya Madiraju. OK, tell us, what iconic look are we recreating today?
Aditya Madiraju: When you say “iconic,” the only person that comes to my mind is Rekha.
Neha Joy: Yes.
Aditya Madiraju: Now, Rekha is a ’60s, ’70s, ’80s actress. She can act, she can sing, she can dance, she can emote. She’s a diva, she’s a princess, she’s a queen. But she had a very specific look like a matte face with a smokey eye, but with a white or a cream eyeliner. And I think back in the day, nobody did that, and that is so camp, and I think the world needs to know.
Neha Joy: So let’s talk about why you wanted to choose this look in particular.
Aditya Madiraju: I think this look in particular, it’s like a matte face with a smokey eye, but you see the white liner. And I think this is so relevant even today because you see this on TikTok all the time.
Neha Joy: I feel like she, like, started this iconic makeup trend.
Aditya Madiraju: Absolutely.
Neha Joy: How would you describe this?
Aditya Madiraju: I would say, like, blurred, porcelain skin with beautifully defined eyebrows, but not overdone. Very smokey eye, which is balanced out with a glossy lip. So glossy, matte, smokey, overall clear complexion. Like, I think Rekha is everyone’s dream girl. Even today. She’s 72, I think.
Neha Joy: Wow.
Aditya Madiraju: And she recently, like two years ago, did a shoot with Vogue Arabia.
Neha Joy: Yes.
Aditya Madiraju: If I didn’t know who she was, I would think she’s an empress of some era.
Neha Joy: Also, I didn’t realize how recent that-
Aditya Madiraju: How recent that is.
Neha Joy: That shoot was.
Aditya Madiraju: She looks exactly the same.
Neha Joy: Yeah.
Aditya Madiraju: Whatever skincare she has, that’s what we need.
Neha Joy: That’s what we want. We want Rekha’s skincare too.
Aditya Madiraju: I know. So the eyebrow for me is a very defining feature on your face. Depending on how dark you go, how much you fill in, how much you hold back, it’s going to define the rest of your makeup.
Neha Joy: OK, so what did we do on the brows here?
Aditya Madiraju: I’m using an Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen. I filled it in with two different colors. I’m combing and diffusing the harsh lines as I’m going, and I’m trying to create a gradient where it’s a little lighter and goes a bit darker as we hit the tail end.

Katie Bain:
Hi, I’m Katie Bain, Billboard’s senior music correspondent. I am here with the one and only Alison Wonderland. Thank you for joining us.
Alison Wonderland:
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, especially in this special state of being.
Yeah.
Yeah, you’re about to have a baby.
Literally about to have a baby.
Any minute now.
Any minute.
Could happen here today. We don’t, we don’t want that to happen, but…
But I said the middle name would be Billboard if the baby was born today.
Which would be a really nice shout-out. But, so we have a lot to talk about, because a lot of things are about to happen in your life.
A lot.
You’re about to release ‘Ghost World.’
Yes.
And it’s your first Alison Wonderland album since 2022.
Yes.
Since ‘Loner.’ Yeah, so you obviously did the Whyte Fang project in between those two projects, but why did you feel like it was time to bring Alison Wonderland back, and how did you kind of get into the mode where you’re back in the studio making that music?
I just really felt like it was time. I think for Alison, obviously it’s more about the songwriting, a lot more about the songwriting with Whyte Fang. Um, you know, I have a lot of featured vocalists on those records, and when I was making ‘Genesis,’ the Whyte Fang album, it just kind of felt like where I was at the time, which I’ll be bringing back again soon.
