From her “Perreito” breakout beginnings through her repeat collaborations with KAROL G, Mariah Angeliq has seen her star rise considerably over the past five years. Now one of Latin music’s most recognizable female stars, the Miami native showcases her after-dark side on the EP-length princesa de la noche. Collecting a trio of nocturnally oriented summertime singles with additional new material, the project reflects the sort of versatility that has made her such a reliable go-to for artists in the know. Each track touches on a different genre expression, from the bilingual Jersey club opener “lonely” to the Bassyy duet “mi bebé,” all the while staying impressively consistent. Drill/trap beats and baddie attitudes characterize “flashback” and her Midnvght team-up “BELLAKEO SUCIO,” though she slips into something more audaciously sultry and R&B-adjacent for “APÁGAME LA LUZ.” Naturally, she steps up her reggaetón game with “QUE PERRA ME VEO,” a sleek perreo with a fearlessly femme-forward message.
