Rauw Alejandro - Vice Versa (5 Year Anniversary Edition)

If reggaeton spent the 2010s conquering the world, Vice Versa is Rauw Alejandro pushing to see how far the genre could bend. Released in 2021, his second studio album cemented his place at the front of a new, sonically adventurous generation of música urbana, artists unwilling to stay inside the perreo lane. Anchored by the global smash "Todo De Ti," it remains one of the most restless and forward-looking Latin pop records of its moment.

The reach is the whole point. Across fourteen tracks, Rauw threads reggaeton and Latin trap through disco, synth-pop, house, and Brazilian funk, often within the same song. "Todo De Ti" runs on neon-lit, retro-pop nostalgia that became inescapable, "Sexo Virtual" turns sultry and electronic, and the guest spots widen the palette further, with Chencho Corleone bringing classic reggaeton muscle to "Desesperados" and Anitta pulling the record toward Brazil on "Brazilera." Few of his peers were mixing this many sounds this confidently.

The album helped define Rauw's reputation as one of the genre's true experimentalists, an artist as comfortable channeling Michael Jackson and Daft Punk as he is trading in classic Puerto Rican reggaeton. It set the template for the boundary-blurring records that followed and confirmed him as one of the most exciting voices of his generation.

This 5 Year Anniversary edition is a double-LP pressing on 140-gram vinyl via Sony Music Latin. A fitting vinyl celebration of a modern urbano landmark, and an easy pickup for anyone tracking reggaeton's most adventurous side.
