Alejo was just 18 years old when he became a hitmaker two times over, with “Pantysito” opposite Feid and “Un Viaje” with KAROL G, respectively. That same energy seemed to reemerge with his 2024 singles “NOCHES DE MÁS” and “STORIES VERDES”, all leading up to the release of EN ESTA NOS FUIMOS LEJOS. These 14 tracks largely eschew flashy features, instead centring him over a series of thumping yet atmospheric beats. Working with producers like Botlok and Okelo, he manages to rekindle the heat that drew so many listeners to him in the first place. From big reggaetón moments like “CASA DE CAMPO” and “ROTONDA” to the future-facing R&B of “JACU’” and “COMO NICKY "NIKKI 2”, he sets a mood for late nights and alluring destinations. When he does allow other vocalists into his world, they blend in rather well. Jowell nimbly navigates the synthesiser squirm of tempo-shifting perreo cut “WIKIWIKI”, while Kris Floyd flows with the ambient trap aesthetic of “LOS LOBOS”.
