clear/blue vinyl version - In April, Colombian pop star Karol G teased the arrival of her fourth studio album with the delicately layered “Provenza,” one of the most gorgeous and evocative Latin songs in recent years. In the visual, shot on the rugged Spanish island of Lanzarote, a group of women has fun by the ocean, their worries washed away by a sudden summer rainstorm.
This message of bucolic self-acceptance comes with the same kind of relaxed, magnetic panache that Karol G has specialized in since she emerged as a leader of the booming urbano music scene in 2017. The same lush feeling informed her 2019 megahit “Tusa,” a collaboration with Nicki Minaj that furthered Latin pop’s mainstream appeal, and it’s at the emotional center of the sprawling Mañana Será Bonito, her strongest effort to date.
Auto-Tuned or not, Karol’s voice is open and warm, blessed with a laid-back purity that is rare in the raucous urbano field. But it’s not only the voice that’s beautiful, it’s also the wistful energy behind it. Like any global diva worth her salt, Karol engineers the fickle illusion that she’s addressing you, the listener, directly — whether evoking unfulfilled desire for a past lover or compiling a list of future erotic delights.
