Length: 34:21
Synopsis: Cuban beats with a pop sensibility and phenomenal vocals
Recommendation rating: 5/5

What I like about it: variety and brilliance is always an impressive combo
What I don’t like about it: can’t find a thing

Review:
This album opens with a grandiose fanfare before taking us on a fast and all-too-short journey through Spanish raps, sexy bottom-heavy pop tracks, a vibrant Latin breakup song that not even a guest spot from Ed Sheeran can fully water down and so much more. A beautiful experience, a wonderful work of art and I’m sure very commercially successful; it’s lovely to find a pop record I wouldn’t be slightly ashamed to own.

Content notes (may contain spoilers): ableist slurs, sex

Length: 47:26
Synopsis: Soulful vocals over funky overdriven guitars
Recommendation rating: 3/5

What I like about it: easy to bop to, an interesting mix of influences
What I don’t like about it: sometimes too loud, resembles The White Stripes in its weaker moments

Review:
At its heart, it’s a rock & roll record but there are plenty of intriguing and pleasant sounds if that doesn’t turn you off.
