LOS PLAYERS

LOS PLAYERS

After first catching listeners’ attention in 2024 with the viral Yan Block team-up “Yo sé,” Puerto Rican artist TORRRES kept it moving with a steady stream of singles and collaborations. For LOS PLAYERS, his most substantial offering to date, he showcases a more holistic expression of his style than any one track could. Reggaetón remains a vital part of his musical DNA, yet as songs like “LOVVA” and the smoother “TOUR” demonstrate, his approach relies in no small part on an inherent R&B sensibility. Judging by “PIN” and the slinky trap of “SOS,” his taste in hip-hop is deeply rooted in melody as well, bringing some diversity to the project without losing cohesion. When he diverges from obvious genre expressions, as on the abstract, almost ambient “ZELDA” and the pleading electronic pop of “BBY NO PARE,” he shows there’s even greater potential lurking not far below the surface.
