The track was later named the second best song of the World Cup by Billboard Magazine and therefore cemented Karol&#8217;s position as one of Brazil&#8217;s most successful emerging artists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Lala&#8217;, from Karol Conka&#8217;s forthcoming album, &#8216;Farofei&#8217;, was produced by trap duo Tropkillaz, and co-written by Boss In Drama, who also co-produced it. The video was shot in Japan by renowned Brazillian producer, Kondzilla.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using sexual imagery, such as flowers and citrus fruit, and dealing with them in a suggestive manner, combined with eastern sounding instrumentation, Karol rhymes her way through the song, which encorporates catchy hooks and swirling rhythms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Lala&#8217; is now available to stream and download on all major media providers. Karol&#8217;s new album, &#8216;Farofei&#8217; will be available later this summer.
