From her 2010s reality-TV competitor beginnings to her 2020s rise as a Latin artist of note, Dominican Italian singer YEИDRY has possessed a unique global pop outlook. Breakout solo singles like “Barrio” and “Nena,” as well as collaborations with the likes of J Balvin and Damian Marley, set in motion the journey toward this, her debut album under the all-caps mononym. Naturally, Como agua reflects the depth and songcraft that continue to draw fans to her music. On tracks like “La bendición” and the pulsating perreo “Seria rica,” her talents are well-utilized and altogether engaging. Mirroring the migration motif that serves as one of the album’s central themes, her sense of place reflects a state of transitional flux and even a romantic homesickness by way of “Amapolas” and the tropical standout “No me vuelvo a enamorar.” Not surprisingly, matters of the heart embed themselves into her lyrics, the sincerity of her words resonating in moving vocal performances of the balladic “Mala mia” and the hip-hop-informed “Mentira.”
