Bad Bunny performs during the 65th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 05, 2023.
Suzy Exposito on Bad Bunny's surprise album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, as a surprise to fans over the weekend. Now, it's already setting records.
tells guest host Amil Niazi about why this is perhaps Bad Bunny's most personal record yet, and what his global popularity and massive success means for Latin music and culture today.listen and follow the Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud podcast, on your favourite podcast player.: Suzy, you reviewed the album for The L.A. Times. What is the vibe? Are you going to spend a lot of time with this record? Because it's pretty different from what we're used to from Bad Bunny.: Oh, yeah.
I think it's interesting because the Bad Bunny we've known in the past is someone who is always down for a good party. He also has been a super huge advocate of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican cause…. We do get a little bit of party on this record, but we also get a lot of reflection. I guess like any artist of his caliber, he's struggled with the criticisms. He's struggled with having to counter narratives in the media or on social media.
I think a lot of it, too, is just the talent, you know? Commercially, Latin music has been doing so well because it's something new. I think people are ready to hear something different. It's not like it was 20 years ago when to make it in the US, Shakira had to learn English just for anyone to listen to her, period. That's not really the case anymore. So I think that's a huge part of what has propelled Bad Bunny, but also he's got style.
