When you hear the name Davina Bennett, you probably think of Miss Universe. The 24-year-old Miss Jamaica made history in 2017 as the first Black woman to be crowned one of the top three finalists as the second runner-up, but now she's making a splash as Maluma's leading lady. On Jan. 28, Maluma surprised fans by releasing a visual album titled 7 Días En Jamaica, which stars Bennett as Maluma's love interest. The project was inspired by the Colombian superstar's recent trip to the island and expertly fuses traditional reggae with Maluma's signature reggaeton-pop sound. It also features collaborations with Jamaican artists Ziggy Marley and Charly Black.
"Those seven days in Jamaica came at a time when I needed to escape and decompress as I had intensely worked non-stop on my career for seven years and I was questioning if I should even continue doing music," Maluma told People in a statement.
