Then earlier this month, following an look on the Barbie soundtrack, she made historical past once more as the primary Latina to headline the enduring Lollapalooza music competition. So, who can blame the Colombian singer-songwriter for dropping album quantity 5 proper as she begins a triumphant US stadium tour?
As its title suggests, ‘Mañana Será Bonito’ (Bichota Season) is actually a companion piece to G’s March album. The opposite, parenthetical a part of its title signposts her infectious pure swagger.

G’s present hit single ‘S91’, which options lyrics impressed by a Bible verse the singer realized from her mom, is an emotive Latin lure banger pushed by G’s beautiful supple vocals.
In truth, the one second that offers a touch of feasting on scraps is remaining monitor ‘Provenza (Remix)’. Right here, Dutch DJ-producer Tiësto reimagines the breezy Afrobeats of G’s 2022 hit ‘Provenza’ as a thumping EDM anthem. It doesn’t actually match with all the things else on the album, however it’s nonetheless a number of enjoyable and additional underlines the singer’s formidable vary. On this proof, the solar gained’t be setting on Karol G’s “bichota season” any time quickly.
