Despacito

📖 About this album

Luis Fonsi's eighth album, released in 2017 following the global phenomenon of "Despacito". Tropical pop and romantic ballads seeking to capitalise on the momentum of one of the most-streamed singles in history.

📝 Our review

The album bears the name of the megahit that dominated summer 2017, but it is not a singles record. Luis Fonsi attempts something more coherent with tropical pop and well-made romantic ballads. The problem is nothing here has the energy of that inevitable hit. It is a competent Latin pop record existing in the enormous shadow of one song.
