Bad Bunny, WHERE SHE GOES | Track Review

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny continues his hot streak with the utterly thrilling single, “WHERE SHE GOES.”

Two words: Bad Bunny ! The Grammy-winning, Puerto Rican superstar can’t miss, even in a year (2023) where he stated he was taking a break. He is on fire, once more with “WHERE SHE GOES”, a single that finds him expanding his palette artistically. Mag, who handles the production duties, does an epic job – he kicks ass and takes names!  This intense joint commences with moody synths.  Early on, a dark, minor key is established. Once Bad Bunny begins singing, he brings additional assertiveness – he is even more aggressive than the moody synths.  Soon enough, the production grows more dynamic, with a beat entering and anchoring things down. 

Once the rhythmic identity is established on  “WHERE SHE GOES,” it seems as if there will be a degree of predictability. WRONG! Even with the drums solidifying the direction of the song, there are surprises.  During part of the second verse, the drums drop out, and things become more legato (long) delivering welcome contrast.  Generally, Bad Bunny serves up rhythmic rhymes during the verse, embracing a more melodic identity during the chorus.  Even though “WHERE SHE GOES” is exclusively in Spanish, like most Bad Bunny songs, it is a surefire vibe. Check out the English translation and there is plenty of reference to S-E-X . Also, the accompanying music video is totally rad.
