What we noticed

The album opens with a title track that sets a rhythmic tone, followed by a series of tracks that maintain a consistent mid-tempo pace.
Several songs feature layered vocal harmonies and call-and-response structures, typical of reggaeton, enhancing the danceable quality.
The last three tracks slow down the tempo significantly, creating a contrast with the earlier upbeat songs and providing a reflective close to the album.
