Un Verano Sin Ti

Released

The first cohort to embrace Autotune and start rubbing out the lines between rapping and singing and mumbling was the dancehall mini-massive, about fifteen years ago. Bad Bunny, floating above the larger reggaeton peninsula, has perfected an ability to be entirely casual in all settings, as if he just wandered into superstardom, no me importa. The sounds here are crisp and Day Glo nuts, while the flow from track to track is quite smooth. One of the most unassuming and confident zillion plays albums out there. He raps slowly and rolls his Rs real hard, so the Anglos can follow along.
