Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞

For all the deserved buzz around this being the Colombian American talent’s first Spanish-language full-length, the frequently bilingual *Sin Miedo* builds on that by being eclectic and cohesive at the same time. Through songs like “telepatía” and the Bond-worthy groover “vaya con dios,” the record exists as more than just the successor to Kali Uchis’ robust and exploratory *Isolation*, building on and one-upping that formidable 2018 effort left and right. She reveals her strengths in more than one language on “fue mejor” with R&B misfit PARTYNEXTDOOR, and executes boss moves alongside Rico Nasty on “¡aquí yo mando!” Throughout the album, but particularly on its back half, super-producer Tainy helps to further bring out the singer’s undeniable greatness, sometimes with the added support of other Latin music notables. The irresistible perreo cut “te pongo mal (préndelo)” links her with reggaetón vets Jowell & Randy, while “la luz (Fin)” introduces hitmaker Jhay Cortez into the already potent mix.

On her first Spanish-language LP, the Colombian American singer eclipses crossover appeal with a moody, hopscotch pop take on the boleros, reggaetón, and Latin soul of her youth.

Colombian pop sensation Kali Uchis is on strikingly bold form on her first full-length project that's entirely in her native Spanish

When it was announced that Kali Uchis’ new album would be almost entirely in Spanish, it’s likely that a large number of her fans felt disappointed. Kali’s sparkling hooks and clever lyrics were ever-present on her critically acclaimed 2018 full length album Isolation, and it was perhaps reasonable to expect that those non-Hispanophones out there
