MARINA CARÓ - Vamo' a Hacerlo Mal

This year has been a landmark one for Spanish-language pop, at least here in the United States. The gradual transition away from the reggaeton styles that dominated a lot of the scene in the 2010s has led to a wealth of new developments in the scene, and with it, a pretty large amount of new, exciting music. However, this review concerns a more interesting question in transnational artistry: what happens when you take a Moscow singer and transfer her to Barcelona to sing urban Spanish music? Magic. The newest single from Marina Caró, “Vamo' a Hacerlo Mal”, is an uptempo dance banger that also has a strong EDM and house element to it with its multiple strong drops. It feels like an astonishingly produced song, one that seems handmade for the charts and the masses, with its impassioned vocal from the artist conveying both love and adventure in a single tone, each drop into the hook like a wave of energy that commands dancefloors and festivals. A new pop sensation with over a decade in the music industry, Caró takes charge and holds control in this club-ready track about new directions and taking risks for the sake of love. If you’re looking for the next big sound in Spanish pop, “Vamo' a Hacerlo Mal” is truly where it’s at.
