Since signing with Farruko’s Carbon Fiber Music in 2019, Akim has moved considerably towards rising star status. The Panamanian singer’s noteworthy “Otra Baby” partnered him with the likes of Beéle, Boza and Dalex, while the “Amor Duele” remix united him in a terrific showing with his CFM labelmates. His first project for the label showcases his skills across a number of different genres that reflect Latin music’s broad contemporary scope, from the hip-hop throwback nods of “Fettuccine” to the reggae vibes emanating from “Insisto”. He teams up with Farru himself for the “Pepas”-esque dance floor cut “Luz” and lingers with R&B reggaetonero Lyanno for “Facetime”. Akim’s most frequent collaborator here, rapper Ankhal gets multiple opportunities to complement the singer’s oft romantic style with his own gruffer street vision.
