Loe Shimmy Heats Up the Cold Weather With “Where You Wanna Go” Video
Wielding his unique sense of melody and woozy vibes, Loe Shimmy looks to build on a breakout year in 2026. To start it off right, the Florida native heads north for the winter in “Where U Wanna Go,” his new music video. Produced by Zay Cartier, “Where U Wanna Go” is a laid-back late night anthem, populated by sumptuous keys and snaking guitar lines to undergird Shimmy’s seductive melodies: “I got a pilot, mami, tell me where you wanna go/I’m off these Roxies, baby, let me nail it to the floor,” he sings. In the video, Loe Shimmy takes his fleet of luxury SUVs to the snowy north, where he feels equally as home as his sunny home state.
“Where U Wanna Go” is a highlight from Rockstar Junkie: after the party, the expanded version of his acclaimed 2025 album, released over the holidays. The deluxe version adds 11 new songs, including recent singles “Jet 2 Holiday,” “Baby Z,” “Crank Up Da Jet,” and “Lost & Found.” The tape also brings new highlights, including “Hills Have Eyes,” a gorgeous trap ballad with a dynamic bassline, perfect for a winding drive through the Hollywood Hills, “Purple Magic,” a hazy anthem for romantic smoke sessions, private jet-set ballad “Floatin,” and the guitar-drenched seduction “Where U Wanna Go?” after the party keeps the vibe going from Rockstar Junkie, providing a smooth soundtrack to the debaucherous backstage moments that make the grind worth it. Rockstar Junkie: after the party is available on all platforms via Rebel/gamma.
Originally released in July 2025, Rockstar Junkie spans an epic 26 tracks without flagging in energy or quality. The album immerses listeners in Shimmy’s world, with see-sawing beats, from Florida sound architects like DxnteMadeIt and others, their instrumentals swirling around Shimmy’s croaking melodies in hypnotic fashion.
