Album by Kali Uchis

This album pulls you into its atmosphere and really can get in your head.

The sound moves between Latin pop, R&B, disco, soul, and electronic dance music, but everything flows together so smoothly that the whole record feels less like a collection of songs and more like one long immersive mood. The percussion is hypnotic, the production feels warm and layered, and Kali Uchis’ vocals glide effortlessly over all of it.

Even when the album shifts styles, it never really loses that sensual, nocturnal feeling.

“¿Cómo Así?” immediately sets the tone with weightless vocals floating above ambient pop textures and dance rhythms. The whole thing feels hazy and hypnotic in the best way.

“Me Pongo Loco” leans further into R&B while still carrying those shimmering electronic textures underneath it. There’s even a little jazz influence floating through parts of the arrangement, giving the song a smooth, seductive energy.

“Igual Que un Ángel” was one of the most immediately infectious tracks for me. The bass line and drums give it a slight 80s pop feel, while the chemistry between Uchis and Peso Pluma makes the song feel huge without losing the album’s intimacy.

“Pensamientos Intrusivos” moves between English and Spanish while blending lush R&B melodies with more dance-oriented rhythms, and “Diosa” folds reggae influences into the album’s dreamy Latin-pop atmosphere without feeling forced.

“Te Mata” ended up being my favorite song on the album. It strips away some of the heavier club production and leans into a more classic bolero-inspired sound that occasionally reminded me of the retro style Amy Winehouse was known for.

It’s one of the album’s strongest storytelling moments and gives the record a really compelling emotional shift.

“Perdiste” brings things back into softer R&B territory before “Young Rich & in Love” introduces one of the album’s coolest grooves — the kind of song that immediately makes you picture neon lights and driving through a city late at night.

“Tu Corazón Es Mío…” might be the smoothest track here, while “Heladito” pushes further into retro soul and psychedelic pop influences that feel pulled from the late 60s and early 70s.

The album closes with “Dame Beso // Muévete,” a vibrant salsa-inspired track full of horns and infectious rhythm that shows just how many different styles the album comfortably moves through.

This really isn’t my usual musical lane, and some of the more club-focused stretches later in the album didn’t connect with me quite as strongly. But when the album settles into those smoother blends of soul, R&B, disco, and Latin pop, it becomes completely intoxicating.

Verdict: Good
