    Aware that any language barrier can be overcome by a plethora of hooks and a prevailing atmosphere, Balvin adds a playful embellishment to each of the album’s 10 tracks, be it Amarillo’s kazoo-assisted beat, or the twinkling glacial percussion that tickles closer Blanco. A riot not just of colour, but of ideas too.

    An energetic and vibrant project, that is exactly what the music scene needed in such an uncertain time. One of J Balvin’s strongest projects to date.

    There are no filler colors like “macaroni and cheese”. The brushstrokes he paints as a purveyor of perreo pop might not be as broad, but they’re far-reaching in highlighting the evolution and future of reggaeton music. Balvin remains a power player in the globalization of the #LatinoGang, and Colores continues to showcase his colorful flow and spirit as a beacon in the movement.

    Colores’ concept is steeped in this earnest (if slightly indulgent) pursuit. Each of its 10 tracks corresponds to a different color, in a sort of sonic mood ring.

    There isn't much lyrical substance on Colores, and there doesn't need to be. It's a party record whose lyric flows are effortless and laid-back enough -- a Balvin trademark -- to attract listeners inside and outside musica urbano's big tent. The album's brevity adds depth and dimension to its direct, seductive, welcoming mix and garish presentation.

    Spanning 10 pigment-themed tracks, Colores is a sophisticated show of Balvin’s sonic palette.

    J Balvin vuelve trayendo un poco más de lo mismo, su trabajo incluye mucho relleno, llega a tornarse aburrido

De los concepts albums mas posers y triste que heMonótono, predecible, cliché, desesperado por atención, por creerse raro y conceptual! De los concepts albums mas posers y triste que he escuchado. Un colombiano mas tratando de encajar y pasar por inteligente pero no le da. Balvin deja de reirte TAAAAN falso en cada entrevista o promoción o momento incomodo, ya sabemos q es tu forma de evadir memes y chistes sobre ti, no muestres tanto la debilidad. PD: las animaciones de las cabezas grandes, son Un rotundo asco! Odié los fondos en degrade evocando el vomito Full Review »
