Early on Bohemio, Nicky Jam lays out his definition of the titular lifestyle ethos behind the album. Given the career he’s had, from his pivotal role as a reggaetón godfather to his improbable ascent to modern-day Latin hitmaker, one might expect this inclination towards the nomadic and unconventional. Indeed, the vibe throughout his third full-length of the 2020s bears some distinctly laidback characteristics. Via the preparatory thump of “Ta’ Bien” with Beéle, the breezy balladry of “Olvídala,” and the salsa sensibilities of “Comenzar De Nuevo,” the album cruises along with a knowing maturity of sound and theme alike. Even the clubbier moments like “Baddie” with Dei V or “Verme” with fellow vet Baby Ranks exude a certain sun-soaked ease, something reinforced by the interstitial bits of dialogue peppered throughout. Taken as an uncannily cool whole, Bohemio feels like one of Jam’s most ambitious outings, his risk-taking paying off for longtime listeners as well as new ones.
