It has a little bit of flex, but that’s not what I normally do. And it’s the first time that I’m talking a little bit of ego, because it’s like the music that I like to listen to. I’m letting Arcángel say what is a legend. You open the album with “F40” saying that you’re a legend… With that said, what are some of the songs on the album that you can’t wait to perform? It’s like an album that I did, of course for my people and for the world, but it is going to be the first album that I can listen to as Jose being a fan of J Balvin. It’s what I like to hear, what Jose likes to hear. Now, the concept in this album is me, Jose. And it’s my personal, it’s the sound that I always wanted to do. What makes it so personal to you?īecause this is like my own playlist of the types of songs I like to hear from me. JOSE is described as your most personal album yet. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Remezcla caught up with J Balvin last week ahead of the release of the album and its latest music videos “Perra” and “Si Te Atreves” to talk about how he’s prioritizing Jose, the person behind the artist, his newest string of collaborations, and how next year’s tour will be his biggest yet. And we won’t miss with this one ,” he declares. His latest music video dropped today, “ Si Te Atreves” with Zion and Lennox, and Balvin says it will also be a smash. “Un Día (One Day)” with Bad Bunny, Tainy, and Dua Lipa was even nominated for a Grammy this year. 1 single on Billboard’s Latin Airplay charts - his 31st to date, for those who are counting. The collaboration with Skrillex, “In Da Getto,” became J Balvin’s latest No.
On day one of its release, JOSE already comes with a resume. JOSE is a carefully curated collection of tracks that vacillates between nostalgic early J Balvin vibes the EDM meets trap streaming-friendly behemoths that translate well for his newfound global audience and his signature more melodic “sexy,” as he calls them, moments. “ be like, ‘J Balvin, what are you listening to?’ I’m listening to JOSE, my G,” he says. His latest album, JOSE, which bears his first name and is marketed as his most personal album yet, changed his no-listening rule. “I listen to my music before it’s out to check if the songs are good, if I vibe with it or not. “I never listen to my music,” he tells Remezcla over a Zoom call. From early bangers like “6 AM” and “Safari,” to the so-called crossover moments with “Mi Gente” and “I Like It,” to his recent work as a global superstar on “RITMO” and “In Da Ghetto,” it seems like everyone in the world listens to J Balvin now… Since breaking into the mainstream throughout Latin America with his hits from La Familia almost a decade ago, J Balvin has been the soundtrack of many of our club nights.
