Written by Maluma, Edgar Barrera, Keityn and Casta, “Cosas Pendientes” was released alongside a sultry and action-packed music video produced by Royalty Films.

In a press release, the single is described as Maluma’s first release showcasing his “+Pretty +Dirty era,” a nod to the luxurious visual world he launched in 2015.

On Thursday, Maluma celebrated the release of the new single by driving a double decker bus around his hometown of Medellín, Colombia. He played the new single on speakers until a crowd eventually formed to sing-along to the freshly-released song.

The single follows his part in Karol G’s “+57” single that also featured Colombian acts J Balvin, Blessd, Feid and Ryan Castro.

Outside of the studio, Maluma recently unveiled his new athletic-wear brand, Remanence, with a fashion show in Medellín. As the owner and creative director of the line, Maluma touted the importance of eco-friendly fashion responsible practices, with all of his clothing having been designed entirely in Colombia using renewable energy.

Wearing one of his signature outfits — a custom white Versace double-breasted jacket paired with black Bottega Veneta shoes — the wax figure coincides with Maluma’s homecoming concert, Medallo en el Mapa, set to take place on April 30 at the Atanasio Girardot stadium.

“The work that the entire team at Madame Tussauds created is unreal,” the chart-topping artist said in a statement. “The figure is a true replica of me and I am honored to have them bring a piece of me to my fans before my concert. Throughout my career, I have worked hard to share with the world that Medellin, Colombia, is art, culture, music and much more. I am excited to continue representing my roots globally. I am grateful to both museums for collaborating and making it a historic moment where a wax figure is featured in Colombia, and South America for the first time.”

According to the museum, it took a team of 20 studio artists nearly six months to create the figure.

The wax likeness will be on display at Maluma’s show on Saturday (April 30), and it will also spend a few days in Medellín’s Modern Art Museum from April 26-29.

After spending a few days in Colombia, fans will be able to see “Maluma 2.0” at its permanent home in Madame Tussauds Orlando beginning early May.

Most recently, the “Hawái” singer made his debut as a director, helming his first music video, “Mojando Asientos.”

The video also marked the first project released under Maluma’s new production company, Royalty Films, which was created to “support new Latin creatives within the music, film and television and commercial fields.”
