2026 Grammy's Album Review: "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" - Bad Bunny

 

Its that time of year for my annual series reviewing all of the album of the year nominees. This year I graded each track out of 100, and then of course averaged it out. On albums that feature interludes, or on certain tracks that are around a minute or shorter, those won't be judged toward the album.

"Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" - Bad Bunny

(Rimas Records)

1) Nuevayol:

I'll note that I listened on Apple Music, which provided translation. However I'm not going to have a heavy emphasis on lyrics overall in this review. Starting off with a horn opening, this track has a fusion sound to it; "When I was born, so was the flow". There's a nice breakdown and switch-up.

2) Voy a Llevate Pa PR:

This track is a bit one-note sound wise.

3) Baile Inolvidable:

Combined with a switch-up, the backing vocals and percussion, everything just meshes well; "You were my unforgettable dance". 

4) Perfumito Nuevo (w/ RaiNao):

The opening is very delicate.

5) Weltita (w/ Chuwi):

There's a different vibe to this; "How can a goddess be so simple". This is a strong feature. 

6) Velda (w/ Omar Courtz and Dei V)

Sonically this is one-note, as the vocals stay at the same place.

7) El Club:

There's a nice flow.

8) Ketu Tecre:

He's very emotive on this track.

9) Bokete:

The intro is nice and mellow, but the track doesn't really go anywhere.

10) Kloufrens:

There's an EDM like beat.

11) Turista:

With a pleasant and tranquil intro, the guitar acts like its own feature. This track revolves around someone in his life who was akin to a tourist, not seeing his true pain (but noting that it wasn't;t necessarily their responsibility).

12) Cafe con Ron (w/ Los Pleneros de la Cresta):

Going back up tempo, there's a nice call & response section.

13) Pitorro de Coco:

The intro is unique.

14) Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii:

Very smooth.

15) Eoo:

There's a funk vibe that really grooves.

16) DTMF:

This track stalls a bit.

17) La Mudanza:

With a spoken word intro, this is a very strong closing track. The drum feature is insane. 

I honestly wasn't sure of what to expect with this, but I found this album to be well paced. At a little over an hour, it didn't really feel like that. You had some of the slower paced tracks as a buffer bringing a change of pace. I fully get and appreciate how Bad Bunny is one of the most successful global artists right now. (84.5)
