International singer-songwriter Bad Gyal taps directly into reggaeton’s golden-era DNA with the release of “Choque,” a new single from her upcoming sophomore album Más Cara. The track features reggaeton pioneer Chencho Corleone, formerly of the iconic duo Plan B, marking a generational bridge between early-2000s perreo and modern global urbano.
Now available on all digital platforms, “Choque” delivers punchy rap verses that evolve into a full-scale club-ready perreo anthem driven by the nostalgic bounce that defined reggaeton’s formative club era.
A Dream Collaboration Rooted in Reggaeton History
For Bad Gyal, the collaboration is personal. Chencho Corleone’s work with Plan B helped shape the global reggaeton movement that influenced her upbringing and artistic direction.
Produced by elite hitmakers including Luny Tunes, architects behind genre-defining records like Gasolina by Daddy Yankee, “Choque” blends the gritty percussion and melodic hooks of classic reggaeton with Bad Gyal’s sleek, boundary-pushing vocal delivery.
The result is not retro cosplay. It’s a structural homage honoring the genre’s foundation while updating its cadence for a new global audience.
Inside Más Cara: A Caribbean-Fueled Statement
Alongside the single, Bad Gyal revealed the full 19-track lineup for Más Cara, set for release on March 6. The album draws from the Caribbean rhythms that have consistently defined her sonic identity: reggaeton, R&B, dancehall, merengue house, guaracha, Jamaican shatta, and Haitian kompa.
Rather than staying confined to one subgenre, Más Cara presents itself as a curated spectrum of diasporic sound, bold vocal experimentation layered over club-driven rhythms. It positions Bad Gyal not only as a reggaeton artist, but as a global Caribbean pop architect.
“Choque” stands as a key preview of that vision, showcasing how she honors reggaeton’s roots while reshaping its future-facing possibilities.
The Live Era Begins
The release arrives as Bad Gyal prepares for a 2026 tour across Spain, including sold-out dates in major cities and an upcoming appearance at Primavera Sound Barcelona, a festival that continues to spotlight artists redefining global pop.
Her trajectory reflects a broader shift in Latin and Spanish-language music: nostalgia is no longer static. It’s collaborative. By partnering with Chencho Corleone, Bad Gyal demonstrates how early reggaeton’s architects remain culturally relevant when aligned with new-generation innovators.
Más Cara drops March 6 on all streaming platforms, signaling what could be one of the year’s most sonically expansive urbano releases.
