From his early SoundCloud days in the 2010s to becoming a global icon, he's been at the forefront of Latin music's expanding influence worldwide. His 2020 albumYHLQMDLGdelivered a lineup of undeniable club bangers.Un Verano Sin Ti, released in 2022, cemented his legacy, becoming the most-streamed album on Spotify and solidifying him as a global force.On January 5, Benito released his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. It is a triumphant return to his roots, celebrating Puerto Rican culture to the fullest.
Here at the New Times, we've given the album a thorough listen and ranked the album's tracks from worst to best — a hard feat because there are a lot of good songs. Let's dive in.
It's the second single to drop for the album, which should've honestly been its own release, but it still works in the context of the project.It's definitely the least impactful of the reggaeton tracks on the album, but it still has a good vibe.The closing track begins with Benito spitting bars about his father and how his parents created a beast. Ending the album on a salsa track is fun, and it definitely wraps the album and its themes together.A fun track that helps build on the tropical sound played throughout the project while sprinkling some house influence with deep, groovy bass. Chuwi comes in halfway and delivers one of the best vocal performances on the album.Inspired by the house music sounds that have been bumping in the clubs recently, Bunny takes a happy beat and contrasts it with lyrics about heartbreak.A banger that will be played at future family gatherings, Bunny teams up with Los Pleneros de la Cresta to create a classic Caribbean vibe.Against the backdrop of some heavy, electronic synths, this reggaeton track is taken over by Puerto Rican standout RaiNao, who trades lyrics with Bunny.When Bad Bunny isn't busy being the king of modern-era perreo, he's being a sad bunny, the more emotional side of Benito, one who isn't afraid to speak about past lovers. Throughout the album, Bunny sings about old flings and girls he misses, but "Bokete" is probably the most emotional against the sound of a guitar with a growing bachata rhythm. This is definitely going to become a fan favorite, with lyrics singing about an ex-lover whom Bunny misses but is willing to try to work out a relationship again.This song is definitely about Benito's ex-girlfriend, Kendall Jenner. The slow, melancholic strumming of the acoustic guitar paired with Bunny's aching vocals makes it the perfect track for a late-night drive. According to Benito, the inspiration came from a moment of vulnerability when he found himself crying while watching U.S. tourists on the beach. The song's layers run deep, with Benito personifying Puerto Rico while his ex-lover symbolizes the tourists who come to enjoy the beaches and clubs but remain indifferent to the island's struggles. It's a moment on the album that showcases some of the best songwriting from Bunny."Kloufrens," a Spanish bastardization of the phrase "close friends," is a tale about the awkward moment when that one romantic partner has decided to end things romantically but has included you in their "Close Friends" story on Instagram. It's a pretty honest interpretation of a situation that is all too familiar here in the 305, with Bunny asking how the hell he's supposed to move on if you keep inviting him into the intimacies of your personal life.Opening the album immediately with a tribute to the Carribean culture in the Big Apple isn't where most of us thought this album would start, but it makes for a great intro. The transition from the salsa drums and trumpets into the bouncing, flowing dembow beat is done perfectly, transporting straight to Washington Heights.When a reggaetonero namedrops Brickell, it always brings a smile. On this track, Bunny courses over another classic-era reggaeton beat with some of the spaciest synths you'll hear on this project. What makes this song so special is that it's just so fun to dance and move along to. Perreo is once again at the forefront of Bunny's sound for the album, and he never fails to deliver tracks that make you grind and get wild on the dance floor. It's also a track that adds to the central theme of his love and adoration for the island.When Rauw Alejandro dropped his salsa-inspiredCosa Nuestraalbum last year, everyone should have expected the ripple effects of reggaetoneros doing salsa to become a trend. The song starts with a groovy synth, but as the trumpets bring you in, you go full Marc Anthony and start dancing in the living room as the piano, drums, and maracas all come together with Bunny's voice to craft a tale about unforgettable women and the night they shared dancing. It's a classic salsa vibe that is brought together by this tale of a girl who slipped away from the heart of our protagonist.On his last project, Benito invited up-and-comers like Young Miko, Luar La L, and Mora to showcase their talents, and it seems that for this one, he continued that trend, inviting two of the hottest urbano artists in the game,Dei Vand Omar Courtz. The second the beat drops, you are quickly reminded ofLos Cangris-era reggaeton as Dei V starts off the track before harmonizing with Omar a minute in. It's another club banger that will keep the dance floor moving but also a great spotlight on the newest urbano hitmakers.It's easily the most bumping song on the album with its easy-to-dance reggaeton beat that channels the essence of early 2000s club bangers. Lyrically, it's not a complex track, as it's mostly Bunny singing to a girl about getting jiggy with her and promising to spoil her with lavish gifts. Still, one of the most important things about a reggaeton-focused project is having a club banger, and Bunny definitely delivered with this one.One of the reasons Bad Bunny has become such a beloved figure in Latin culture is his unwavering dedication to representing Puerto Rico and addressing the political and social issues affecting the island. In "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," Benito draws a parallel between the exploitation of Hawaii and Puerto Rico by the United States. The song highlights the growing trend of wealthy Americans and celebrities moving to Puerto Rico to exploit its tax incentives, leading to gentrification and cultural erosion. While other Latin territories face similar challenges, Puerto Rico, as a U.S. territory, is among the most heavily impacted. Through the track, Benito speaks out against the continued exploitation of the island, lamenting how "they" seek to take its beaches, rivers, and identity while displacing locals. He passionately calls for Puerto Ricans to remember their flag and resist losing the island he so deeply cherishes.The album's title track feels like Benito pouring his heart out. It offers a poignant reflection on how quickly life passes and the importance of cherishing moments with loved ones. The heartfelt chorus — "Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve/ Debí darte más beso' y abrazo' las vece' que pude" — hits hard, urging listeners to reflect on their own lives and relationships. The track carries the nostalgic essence ofUn Verano Sin Tibut with a deeper perspective, shaped by Benito's journey as a global superstar who longs for the simplicity of home. Unsurprisingly, the song has already gained traction on social media, with many sharing tributes to late loved ones set to its beautiful chorus.
