Latin pop has reclaimed its throne on the US charts as ‘X’ by Nicky Jam and J Balvin does not disappoint. The obvious influence of “reggaeton”–smooth reggae beats mixed with dance–will get anyone to sway their hips.
The song begins with the elements of a typical romance song: soft vocals and a steady beat. But as soon as J Balvin joins, a groovier swing is introduced. The lyrics themselves speak of a carefree relationship where the partner wants to live life in the moment, disregarding others’ opinions.
Nicky Jam and J Balvin, although different in their styles, have always been killing the game. ‘X’ is another exceptionally chill song to swing your head to.
