Vice Versa (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. It was released on June 25, 2021, by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment. Two weeks after finalizing his debut studio album, Afrodisíaco (2020), Alejandro started recording his sophomore album, going experimental on it and having a departure from his signature music styles. He worked with several producers, including Tainy, Caleb Calloway, and Mr. Naisgai to create the album. Musically, Vice Versa consists of electropop and house tracks, reggaeton songs, Latin pop numbers, bolero lines, and Brazilian funk rhythms. After the album's release, Alejandro embarked on the Rauw Alejandro World Tour and the Vice Versa Tour in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The album was supported by five singles: "2/Catorce", "Todo de Ti", "Sexo Virtual", "Cúrame", and "Desesperados". The global hit "Todo de Ti" topped the charts in 18 countries and reached the top three on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs and Billboard Global 200 charts, becoming the third all-Spanish song in history to reach the top three on the latter. The song was nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 22nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards. "Desesperados" peaked at number one in nine countries, as well as the top five on Hot Latin Songs. "Todo de Ti", "Cúrame", and "Desesperados" all reached the summit of the Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts in the United States.

Vice Versa received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its various genres and the singer's versatility. Rolling Stone ranked the album as the best Spanish-language or bilingual album of 2021 and the third-best album of the year. It was nominated for Favorite Latin Album at the American Music Awards and Top Latin Album at the Billboard Music Awards, both in 2022. The album was a commercial success. It debuted atop the US Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums with first-week sales of 21,000 units. It has also spent 54 weeks on Billboard 200, making it the sixth Spanish album in history to spend more weeks on the chart. Additionally, Vice Versa spent nine weeks at number one in Spain. The album has received several certifications, including octuple platinum (Latin) in the United States.

Background and recording

Rauw Alejandro released his debut studio album, Afrodisíaco on November 13, 2020.[1] The album experienced both critical and commercial success, being nominated for Best Música Urbana Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.[2][3] Two weeks after finishing the work on Afrodisíaco, he started working on his sophomore studio album, Vice Versa. On the latter, he got a departure from his "signature reggaeton and Latin R&B", going "experimental". During an interview with Billboard, he explained:

I like to get out of my comfort zone. That's what makes me happy, to be able to explore, expand and grow. I don’t judge any artist that wants to follow their line but in my case, I don’t like getting boxed in a certain type of genre. I want to experiment with the most that I can in my career and aim to become that complete artist.[4]

Alejandro added that he tries to connect with his fans in every project that he does, by putting his "heart and soul on the table" and expressing his "art to the maximum".[4] In an interview with Vice, he told the magazine that he does not like to repeat projects and the things he does: "If we play a lot of music of that genre, people get saturated, we always have to give them a break so that when they come back again, they'll come back strong." He also wanted the album to be "more personal" than Afrodisíaco and reduced the number of collaborations on it.[2] He worked on Vice Versa with the assistance of several producers, including Tainy, Caleb Calloway, Álvaro Díaz, and Mr. Naisgai. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Calloway stated that Alejandro was "planning to make something like Vice Versa for years", and since Afrodisíaco "was his first big project", the team "wanted to make sure [they] had a more commercial approach". He added: "The next album, we wanted it to be more experimental."[5]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Vice Versa is a Spanish language album composed of 14 songs, consisting electropop and house tracks, reggaeton songs, Latin pop numbers, bolero lines, and Brazilian funk rhythms.[4][7] Lyrically, the album is divided into three facets; it begins with love songs, then there are breakup and heartbreak lyrics, and eventually a recovery and healing.[2] "Todo de Ti" (transl. "Everything About You") is a dance-pop and electropop song,[9][10][11] with elements of disco,[12] pop,[13] Latin pop,[14] dance,[15] electro,[13] and nu-new-wave.[16] The track was inspired by funk from the music of singers James Brown and Bruno Mars, as well as "the nostalgia of the 1980s".[17] is a romantic song about a girl who drives Alejandro crazy and makes his heart race, while the hopeless singer confesses he likes everything about her.[18][19] A reggaeton and electronic perreo,[8][20] "Sexo Virtual" (transl. "Virtual Sex") is an erotic song about "overcoming distance, bringing the bodies together", with Alejandro exposing "some of his deepest fantasies".[21][22][23]

In "Nubes" (transl. "Clouds"), which is a reggaeton and pop song with elements of electronic music,[7][8] Alejandro declares his eternal love to the girl who has won his heart.[24] A collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Chencho Corleone, "Desesperados" (transl. "Desperate") is an upbeat reggaeton song,[25][26] with elements of cumbia and dembow,[27][28] about two people who are apart, but still have love for each other, so they somehow try to get back together.[29] An Urbano Latin R&B song, "2/Catorce" (transl. "2/Fourteen") is about passionate and sexual moments as a couple, and situations where the temperature rises.[30][31] The trap-bolero ballad "Aquel Nap ZzZz" (transl. "That Nap ZzZz"),[12][32] features elements of R&B and reggaeton,[7] and is a romantic love song dedicated to Alejandro's girlfriend Rosalía.[33][34][35] The song includes Rosalía's vocals and was inspired by their relationship.[36]

"Cúrame" (transl. "Heal Me") is a lofi hip hop reggaeton ballad,[37] with urban and tropical rhythms,[38][39] that narrates a love story referring to two relationships; the current one and the one from the past, which continues to leave its mark today.[40] "Cosa Guapa" (transl. "Beautiful Thing") transforms from dancehall into deep house, and includes verses in English.[7] "Desenfocao'" (transl. "Unfocused") is a new wave, synth-pop, and funk song,[8][38] with elements of disco, pop, EDM, and deep house,[12][31][38] and finds the singer very confused after a relationship breakup, so that he barely even knows where he is.[41] "¿Cuándo Fue?" is a downbeat heartbreak ballad,[42] while both "La Old Skul" and "¿Y Eso?" nod to the old-school reggaeton, with the former sampling "En la Cama" by Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee.[7][8][31] On the trap-pop song "Tengo un Pal", Alejandro collaborated with Puerto Rican singer Lyanno, while he featured Brazilian singer Anitta on the baile funk track "Brazilera".[7]

Vice Versa received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Rolling Stone's Lucas Villa described the album as "great" and noted Alejandro's "versatility", starting that there is "no limits" to his "malleable flow" and that he "takes reggaeton into the future" with Vice Versa.[8] Also in his review for The Fader, Villa praised Alejandro for taking his signature "genres to new worlds altogether", proving "his ability to write captivating songs regardless of the style he chooses". He continued: "He's taking Latin pop into the future on Vice Versa; at the very least, he's set himself up as one of its biggest stars."[6] An author of Genius admired the singer for "fearlessly" displaying his "adaptability", "craftwork", and "versatility" on the album, describing it as "a memorable rollercoaster ride": "VICE VERSA is a look into how the future of Latin music should be like; filled with hard-hitting pop beats, undeniable confidence, and addicting well-produced tracks that will undoubtedly leave their thread woven in history."[137] Jon Caramanica from The New York Times, named Alejandro "the most imaginative meta-reggaeton Latin pop star" and adored his "synthetically sweet and appealingly lush" vocals.[138] Also from The New York Times, Isabelia Herrera celebrated the album for "embracing melody and an unflinching (but calculated) desire to implode the traditional structures of pop and reggaeton".[7] NPR critic Stefanie Fernández labeled it "a record that sets the standard for what a massively successful Latin pop album can, and should, accomplish".[139]

Writing for Mondo Sonoro, Luis M. Maínez named Vice Versa "the best reggaeton album in recent years" and praised Alejandro's "particular and unmistakable style that until now no one has been able to copy". He compared the album to "the most revolutionary styles in history", saying "all tracks flow into each other with precision and organicity, with Rauw's vocals making the electric shock that unites everything". The critic highlighted "Sexo Virtual", "Cosa Guapa", "Desenfocao'", "La Old Skul", and "Aquel Nap ZzZz".[135] Rolling Stone's Julyssa Lopez noted the singer's "thrillingly unpredictable breakthrough" and the album's "unexpected beat switches and sudden flashes of house, bolero, and Brazilian funk, morphs constantly", highlighting "Todo de Ti" as its "crowning jewel".[42] Jason Lipshutz from Billboard stated that Vice Versa "serves as the progressive vision for Latin urban music that Alejandro wants to set forth from the A-list" and compared Alejandro with the American rapper and singer Doja Cat as he "comfortably sings and raps in equal measures, grabbing whatever instrumental arrangement is thrown his direction".[140]

[edit]

Rolling Stone hailed Vice Versa as the best Spanish-language or bilingual album of 2021 and the third-best album of the year.[42][141] The Fader and The New York Times ranked it at numbers 5 and 11 on their overall albums year-end lists.[6][138] Billboard placed it on an unranked list of the 20 Best Latin Albums of 2021, while naming it as the 37th-best album of the year overall.[142][143] Teen Vogue and NPR listed Vice Versa among the best albums of 2021 and best Latin albums of the year, respectively, and Genius ranked it as the 23rd best album of 2021.[137][139][144] The album has received a number of awards and nominations.
