“La Reina” commences with smooth guitar. From the jump, it is clear this record is all about those chill, laid back, yet royal vibes – she’s a queen, after all! As always, Maluma delivers radiant vocals, wowing with his smooth, impeccable tone and marvelous nuance. Woo! Beyond his superb performance, he also serves up plenty of personality, including concluding the single with his signature phrase, “Maluma, baby!” As far as the verse, Maluma continues to praise her, characterizing her as la octava maravilla – the eighth world wonder.  Additional things to admire regarding “La Reina” is the production (🎛 Edge, Casta, and L.E.X.U.Z), including the aforementioned guitar and the epic beat.  Also, shout out the tuneful, rhythmic melody which contributes to the surefire vibe.  #BIG MOOD!


Final Thoughts 💭

big moodSo, does Maluma baby come through again or nah? Of course, that handsome, talented, hunk of a man shines 😍!  Sure, he only gives us about 2:20 of song but that is sufficient. 🎵 “La Reina” is another fine addition to his catalog which honestly, deserves far more attention.  Yes, he’s easy on the eyes, but he’s also incredibly easy on the ears – quite a talent.
