Zion tries just about everything—from Latin pop and old-school R&B to hip-hop and straight-up reggaeton—on his solo debut, and all of it works. Akon lends his magic touch to "The Way She Moves," bolstered by a killer chorus hook and the obvious camaraderie in their trade-off vocals. On the reggaeton track "Zun Da Da," there's an infectious tune to go with the sampled strings and pulsing rhythms. He even makes accordions get funky on "La Neta," featuring the cumbia group Los Super Reyes.
