For Me + You is the second mixtape by American singer Austin Mahone. It was released on December 30, 2016, by Mahone's own label A.M. Music through BMG Rights Management. The mixtape features three guest appearances from Juicy J, Pitbull and 2 Chainz.[1]

Background

[edit | edit source]

On December 13, 2016, Mahone announced his upcoming mixtape ForMe+You.[2] He debuted the lead single, "Lady" featuring Pitbull, at Pitbull's New Year's Revolution concert on December 30,[3][4] the same day the mixtape would drop.[5] This was their second collaboration, following 2014's "Mmm Yeah".[6]

Talking about the recording process with iHeart Radio, Mahone said "Putting ForMe+You together was amazing, because I spent six months in LA, and I recorded probably 90 songs. And, I just picked the best eight songs that I thought would do really well, and put them all together, and made a nice little EP type mixtape project, and put that out for everyone".[1] Of the sound, Mahone mentioned his intention with the mixtape was to move away from the bubblegum pop he was previously known for, and "incorporate some R&B flavor this time, because that's my personal taste in music".[7]

Mahone embarked on his headlining tour, A Tour For Me + You, starting on May 31, to June 30, in support of the release of the mixtape.[8]

Release

[edit | edit source]

"Lady" served as the mixtape's lead and only single, released on February 10, 2017.[9] It is a remix of the 2001 "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" by Modjo.[6] The song reached number one on Billboard's US Dance Club Songs chart.[10] On June 1, he released a music video for "Better with You".[11]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Girls' Life wrote that the mixtape's "sound reminds us a lot of Nick Jonas and Jason Derulo," as well as highlighting "Better with You" and "Wait Around" as standout tracks.[12]
