BAD BUNNY FUSES HOUSE MUSIC IN A STANDOUT ALBUM “EL APAGÓN”

Despite the fact that his fourth solo studio album was released on short notice, Bad Bunny has become Spotify’s most-streamed artist in a single day.

The world is buzzing about the Puerto Rican star’s new album, Un Verano Sin Ti, which was inspired by a wide range of Caribbean musical styles.

“Since forever I’ve made it clear to people that I’m never going to make a record that’s the same as another,” he told The New York Times.

Bunny appears to be serving that purpose by venturing into electronic terrain with “El Apagón,” an exhilarating blend of reggaeton and house music. With a buzzing bassline and rhythmically energetic Latin percussion, the tune develops an irresistible groove. The song concludes with an ethereal guest voice from the artist’s lover, Gabriela Berlingeri.

Bad Bunny’s experimental approach has rewarded him handsomely in the rollout of his latest album. He has topped Spotify’s single-day streaming record on the release day of his album, a record previously held by Drake. The singer’s opening day of Un Verano Sin Ti saw the artist racking up a meteoric 183 million streams in a single 24-hour span.
