Bad Bunny‘s sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”), arrived on Sunday morning. The 17-song record is composed of música jíbaraor Puerto Rican folk, a staple of the island’s musical and cultural traditions.
In a statement shared with VarietyBad Bunny referred to the record as a “dream” album, a project he’s been conceptualizing for many years.
“At the peak of my career and popularity, I want to show the world who I am, who Benito Antonio is, and who Puerto Rico is,” said Bad Bunny. “Seeing it come to life has brought me immense happiness. I’ve always been honest with my followers, and through this new production, they’ll continue to learn more about me as I, too, discover more about myself.”
The record is produced by Bad Bunny’s frequent collaborators, La Paciencia, MAG and Tainy, along with Big Jay and Saox. All of the featured artists — Chuwi, Dei V, Omar Courtz, Pleneros de la Cresta, and RaiNao — are also Puerto Rican, including young musicians from the Escuela Libre de Música.
“This album is the result of the experiences that have led me to get to know myself better, even getting to know the rhythms I enjoy most—the ones I truly enjoy singing and creating,” Bad Bunny continued. “I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaeton… The best is yet to come.”
The album was rolled out in collaboration with Google Maps and Spotify who worked together to release coordinates across Puerto Rico for each song on the album’s tracklist to reveal their titles. The set includes the already released songs, “El Clúb,” and “Pitorro de Coco,” alongside new titles like “Turista” (“Tourist”) and “La Mudanza” (“The Move”).
