Review

Rauw Alejandro's 2021 release "VICE VERSA" represents a substantial pivot from his well-known reggaeton and Latin R&B roots, showcasing his eagerness to venture into uncharted musical territories. The decision to significantly limit collaborations emphasizes his dedication to his own artistic vision, with Alejandro taking production credits on five of the tracks. The album opener, "Todo De Ti," serves as a compelling manifesto of his shift towards a sweeter, lifestyle-centric sound, redolent of a Dua Lipa influence.

Tracks like "Desenfocao'" draw from The Weeknd, merging soft rock with a polished pop vibe, while songs like "Cosa Guapa" and "¿Cuándo Fue?" delve into UK rave and drum'n'bass, infusing high energy into their tunes. Yet, not all experiments hit the mark; "Nubes," for instance, falls into the reggaeton genre's more formulaic territory, lacking the vibrancy that typifies the genre. The album's eclecticism is its double-edged sword, leading to a mixture of styles that sometimes lack cohesion. Nonetheless, "VICE VERSA" signals a notable evolution, revealing Alejandro's drive to push Latin pop's boundaries and explore new sonic dimensions. - Riven
