REVIEW: karolg's lush, sprawling new album ‘‘Mañana Será Bonito’ is her best music yet.
teased the arrival of her fourth studio album with the delicately layered “Provenza,” one of the most gorgeous and evocative Latin songs in recent years. In the visual, shot on the rugged Spanish island of Lanzarote, a group of women has fun by the ocean, their worries washed away by a sudden summer rainstorm.
This message of bucolic self-acceptance comes with the same kind of relaxed, magnetic panache that Karol G has specialized in since she emerged as a leader of the booming urbano music scene in 2017.
The album begins in epic, post-breakup mode. On opening track “Mientras Me Curo Del Cora,” Karol counts her blessings and reassures our wounded hearts that it’s OK to feel sad at times. She finds a supportive sonic partner in producer and compatriot Ovy on the Drums, a digital architect able to inject a sense of purpose into the most tired reggaeton back beat. Ovy’s aural world-building is nimble and cool, kinetic and futuristic.
Not everything works here. A duet with Quevedo, “Pero Tú,” sounds strangely disjointed. Karol’s incursion into música Mexicana is a distracting detour, and her much-anticipated track with Colombian icon Shakira, “TQG,” feels underwhelming, especially since it arrives only weeks after the media circus that surrounded Shakira’s massive new track with Bizarrap.
