The visualizers on YouTube detailed the historical past of Puerto Rico. A small (however vital!) inclusion for Debí Tirar Más Fotos was an lovable animated frog or, extra particularly, a coquí — the unofficial image of Puerto Rico.
“That is an album of Puerto Rican music, and a very completely different vibe from what another artist has performed,” Unhealthy Bunny affirms by way of an interview with Time. “I discovered what my roots are: the sound that represents me.”

The album’s opening music, “NUEVAYoL,” included a pattern of “Un Verano en Nueva York” (or “A Summer season in New York”) by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. It begins off closely in salsa earlier than integrating parts of dembow and modern reggaeton, providing a glimpse into the brand new tracks’ genre-bending sound.
A private favourite, “LA MuDANZA” begins with a narration from Unhealthy Bunny about his dad and mom. The lyrics element Unhealthy Bunny’s triumphs as a musician, however finally, the power that he finds in his roots in “P f—ing R.” It feels like one large occasion and it seems like Unhealthy Bunny is at his greatest.
