    Side B is the more adventurous half of the album, pushing Bad Bunny’s sound into new places with collaborations with alternative acts. ... With the sun-kissed Un Verano Sin Ti, Bad Bunny continues to proudly give pop music some much-needed flavor, swagger, and sounds by way of the Caribbean.

    Un Verano is not only a seasonal statement-piece but a testament to Benito's singular songwriting -- across genres, generations, and even languages, he works to produce enduring landmarks that trace universal joys, sorrows, and passions.

    Un Verano Sin Ti is a cohesively packaged voyage through the various sounds synonymous with the Caribbean region—reggaetón, reggae, bomba, Dominican dembow, Dominican mambo, and bachata, among others.

    Lke most 23-track albums, Un Verano Sin Ti could have used a nip and a tuck. But when it hits its heights, it leaves you puzzled at Britain’s lack of interest in Bad Bunny.

    There’s no sense of bet-hedging in its lengthy runtime and no real filler. It’s the sound of an artist in his imperial phase doing as he pleases without needing to try too hard: not just a low-key flex, but a richly entertaining listen.

    Rather than feeding into speculation about the ever-expanding scale of the genre and what peak he’s out to conquer next, he chooses to lean back and have fun with a loose, leisurely set of 23 songs, his longest tracklist ever.

    Un Verano Sin Ti is more often than not fueled by the artist’s silky, pleading singing than his kinetic rapping. And rather than play culture vulture and disingenuously embody an ascendant style, Bunny doubles down on his heritage and cultural identity.

    It's been way too long since he's sounded this exciting! My first listens felt decoud of excitement or versatility but on my now multiple listens It's clicked as perhaps one if his top 3 albums. Finally returning to the dynamic impulses that had strengthened his best efforts such as on the second track that blew my mind away! Or the "girl from impenanata" sample for "yo no soy celso " bossanova ease. It's definitely worth your time as you relax by the pool beneath a summer sun    … Expand

    Este nuevo álbum con 23 canciones sólo destacan unas cuantas composiciones. En verdad estoy cansado de escuchar la misma letra que vieneEste nuevo álbum con 23 canciones sólo destacan unas cuantas composiciones. En verdad estoy cansado de escuchar la misma letra que viene escribiendo en sus últimos álbumes, también es demasiado abrumante tener que pasar por 11 canciones para llegar al lado B y al fin poder escuchar algo diferente y decente. Por lo que el proyecto es sólo un álbum de hits para el verano, y no un proyecto fresco y ambicioso como nos tenía acostumbrado. Un álbum latino más del montón pero con un nombre reconocido.… Expand
