Fun Friday features songs that are energetic and exciting; supercharged for the weekend.  There will be no BALLADS whatsoever on Fun Fridays!  So, with that considered, for Fun Friday, May 8, 2020, we enlist J Balvin who gives us the fiery, swagger-laden banger “Blanco” from his colorful 2020 album, Colores.

“To any net I score (goal) / Like Cristiano Ronaldo / Throw me the beat that I deliver (pew, pew) / Hands up, this is an assault / This is not mass, but I came in white…” Electrifying to say the least! Balvin concludes Colores with “Blanco” or “White” in English. “Blanco” shines thanks to its hip-hop sensibilities, which fits within the Urbano Latino umbrella.  The production by Sky Rompiendo and Dee Mad is minimalist yet potent. Balvin never has any shortage of swagger, let alone sex appeal. Exhibit A: “For real, made in Medellín, eh / I give it to you without you having to ask for it.” What more could you ask for on Fun Friday, or should I say, Fun Fri-Yay!
