Selena Gomez & Rauw Alejandro, Baila Conmigo | Track Review 🎵

Selena Gomez successfully continues embracing her heritage on “Baila Conmigo,” alongside rising Puerto Rican artist, Rauw Alejandro.

Sometimes, a ‘reset’ can do wonders.  🎙 Selena Gomez is embracing an artistic reset, recording songs that celebrate her heritage. 🎵 “De Una Vez” was the first indication that Gomez was going to do something different.  She did so successfully. Again, she opts for a Spanish exclusive single with 🎵 “Baila Conmigo”. This time, she collaborates with rising Puerto Rican artist, 🎙 Rauw Alejandro.  Once again, the results are quite positive. Oh, and by the way, both songs are set to appear on her even-track album, 💿 Revelación, arriving March 12. Pretty sweet, right? 

“Baila Conmigo” is produced by 🎛 Tainy, 🎛 Albert Hype, 🎛 Jota Rosa, and 🎛 NEON16.  The backdrop is pretty sweet; I love the cleanness of the production.  Even with the addition of a pronounced groove, things never sound crowded.  What’s the theme of this ‘dance’-driven Latin pop record? Good ole matters of the heart, of course! Rauw Alejandro takes first blood (intro and first verse), before Gomez joins him on the second half of the intro and the second half of the first verse. On the second verse, Alejandro goes solo. Selena sings the chorus, with Rauw singing select lines while joining her on others.  This collaborative piece between the two is a #win.  Of course, the biggest triumph of the record is the catchy chorus, which translates as “Dance, dance, dance with me…”

Final Thoughts 💭 

So, does this Selena Gomez reset continue to be a good thing? Yes, by all means.  “Baila Conmigo” won’t change lives, but her and Rauw Alejandro deliver a well-rounded, enjoyable Latin pop cut.  It’s quite pleasant by all means.  Are there any glaring cons to be found? Absolutely not. You won’t regret adding “Baila Conmigo” to your playlist/listening rotation.
