The magazine says the same. rolling stone. “The Last World Tour It is in no way a repudiation of the genres that have made Bad Bunny a star.; if anything, it’s a test of how far they can stretch. It’s likely that he will never let go of the Puerto Rican sounds that have shaped him; actually the final song on the album, Christmas songs, is a traditional Christmas song by the Trio Vegabajeño, a band from their hometown. The song perfectly ties the bow on an album that reminds us that he is a traditionalist, a troublemaker and an eccentric all at once”.

If you thought that Bad Bunny was not capable of making a good brit-pop and dream-pop song, here it is.
