Balvin released his video for Azul, the second title you will find on “Colores.” According to Suzy Exposito from Rolling Stone,
“The Colombian hitmaker’s latest sophisticated survey of his sonic palette.”
While some articles talk about the sweet and playful video J Balvin and the director Colin Tilley made for Azul, we will get our hands and minds into the music side of the interesting story created by José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, Bull Nene, Justin Quiles, Michael Brun, and Sky Rompiendo.
However, here is the video if you want to check it out and dive into Caribbean-Groove mixed with Colombian flavors!
Azul is the perfect tune to listen after a heartbreak, or when you are in your car driving to the beach. The lyrics of the song talk about a sexy, crazy, and coquette woman whose life is all about sex, alcohol, and parties, and a guy who is somewhat in love with this girl and realizes that he feels something about her. However, she is taken.
With a mix of dancehall music and reggaeton beats, J Balvin paints a sensual and deep atmosphere combined with the classic Dembow found on Tego Calderon and Daddy Yankee’s releases in the early 2000s. Also, there’s Michael Brun’s guitar performance and upbeat strumming, which give a reggae vibe to the song, and his light-tone guitar’s sound, that mixed with a reverb creates a nice contrast from the darker ambiance produced by the pads in the back of the mix.
If you are a traditional reggaeton lover or interested in music production, you are not going to be disappointed.
In conclusion, J Balvin’s album “Colores” is a brilliant concept that creates a palette full of sounds, melodies, and textures that showcase Balvin’s colorful and captivating flow, spirit, and artistic identity.
