Foothills

Higher than 23% of albums we've rated

The album showcases varied tempos and vocal styles but lacks a strong cohesive arc throughout.

What we noticed

• — The album opens with a strong title track that features a prominent vocal melody, followed by a shift to reggae rhythms in the second track.
• — Several tracks incorporate layered harmonies and call-and-response vocals, particularly in 'Baila el reggae' and 'Adiós tristeza'.
• — The tempo varies significantly across the album, with tracks like 'En la oscuridad' slowing down the pace before returning to upbeat songs.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
