Ozuna - Escape

Ozuna sophomore album is bold from the get-go, leading not with reggaetón but with guitar and piano chords (courtesy of pianist Arthur Hanlon) and words of personal introspection.

The danceable reggaetón jams, the pretty love songs set to a dembow beat, the fusion with bachata (on the Romeo Santos-featuring "El Farsante"), the collabs with American stars Akon and Cardi B are all to come -- and all are hits, of course, the trademark for this 26-year-old with a syrupy voice and a golden pen.

No wonder this follow-up to to Odisea, the best selling Latin album of 2017, matched its predecessor as the best-selling Latin release of 2018.
