Like past projects, his latest album, Un Verano Sin Ti, is a sancocho of genres, drawing from a spectrum of Caribbean and African rhythms. What he calls a “summer playlist” is meant to be enjoyed beachside. His best illustration of this is perhaps on the second track, “Después De La Playa,” where Bad Bunny sings live over a merengue tipico by Dominican band Dahian el Apechao. The album, recorded in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, is riddled with references and colloquialism from the neighboring islands. Sonically, it invites the blending, or distortion, of bomba y plena sounds with EMD, like in “El Apagón,” a critique of U.S. colonialism in Puerto Rico, and the current Act 60 tax exemption-induced invasion of gringos on the archipelago, as well as a declaration that recalls reggaeton’s Puerto Rican roots. “Now everybody wants to be Latino,” he sings in Spanish. On “Me Porto Bonito,” Bad Bunny gives a nod to the early 2000s reggaeton boom and features Chencho Corleone of Plan B, while the following record, “Tití Me Preguntó,” incorporates a bounce typical to Bay Area hip-hop, or hyphy music.
