When Bad Bunny casually dropped "Las Que No Iban A Salir" in 2020, it wasn't just an album; it was a surprise glimpse into the artist's creative process, a raw and unfiltered collection of tracks that didn't make the cut for previous projects. This compilation is a treasure trove for fans, featuring an array of collaborations with Latin music heavyweights like Zion & Lennox, Yandel, Don Omar, and Nicky Jam. Among these gems is the standout track "En Casita," a heartfelt duet with Gabriela Berlingeri, which adds a layer of personal intimacy to the album. The production's unmastered quality lends an authentic air that makes listeners feel like they're right there with Bad Bunny, witnessing the magic as it happens.
The album's journey began on Instagram Live, where Bad Bunny teased snippets of these unreleased tracks, stirring up a frenzy of anticipation. Songs like "Si Ella Sale" and "Bendiciones" quickly became fan favorites, showcasing Bad Bunny's ability to blend high energy with emotional depth. The reggaeton pulse of "Pa' Romperla" featuring Don Omar and the playful "Bad con Nicky" with Nicky Jam further underscore the artist's dynamic range. Far from being a mere afterthought, "Las Que No Iban A Salir" stands as a powerful testament to Bad Bunny's prolific talent and his unparalleled knack for engaging with his audience in the most genuine way. The album's warm reception is yet another marker of his indelible impact on the Latin music world, cementing his status as a trailblazer who continues to redefine the boundaries of the genre. - Noah
