Bad Bunny - UN VERANO SIN TI ALBUM REVIEW
I mean, an album titled A SUMMER WITHOUT YOU should be a great, if somber, summer album.
It’s no secret that Bad Bunny is one of the biggest names not just in Latin music, but in music right now. Not to bring up the same comparison from my review of Jack Harlow’s recent album, he’s slowly becoming a Drake-esque figure, and that comes with everything. I actually do prefer Bad Bunny over Drake because I think he’s more creative with his music. I enjoyed his last project, EL ÚLTIMO TOUR DEL MUNDO, quite a bit and I still have it in rotation. We now have UN VERANO SIN TI (an already record-breaking album), which admittedly is very long. Bad Bunny has stated this about being a summer playlist of sorts, so framing it like a collection of songs, it’ll be interesting to see how this project shapes up. Let’s get into it.
I’ll say that this is Bad Bunny’s most risky project yet. There are a lot more genres at play here like trap, afrobeat, bossa nova, reggae, synthpop, and dancehall, among many *many* others. Miraculously, they’re all done relatively well and are pretty much catchy most of the time. There’s a genuine versatility shown on this album and I think it cements Bad Bunny as an artist at this point, even on the more straightforward reggaeton tracks. For the amount of material he’s been putting out within the past four years, it’s shocking that he’s still developing himself like this, especially with this kind of consistency. Granted, this album is just a tad bit long, but that’s honestly not the biggest issue. Overall, UN VERANO SIN TI is a fantastic set of tracks. Bad Bunny shows out for the summertime.
