Album Review

On their third effort, Jowell & Randy remain the fun, slick, and hip reggaeton duo fans expect but their move to Wisin & Yandel’s WY label means bigger productions, bigger guest stars, and in this case, a killer album. It also means plenty of Auto-Tune, which might irritate some of their following, but the vocal device fits right in with the whirlwind of slick that propels the album, providing an exciting ride from the hook-filled and clever “Goodbye” to the drama-filled “We from the Bled,” which comes with gunshot sound effects. Along the way there’s the slow-grinding, pole dancer’s anthem “Un Booty Nuevo,” the international hit single “Loco,” plus the great reggae chillout “Solo por Ti” featuring Cultura Profetica. Franco "El Gorila", Tico el Inmigrante, and BlackFather Javiah are some of the other names that help the duo deliver this thrill ride along with label bosses Wisin & Yandel, who both make solo guest shots on separate tracks.
