SATURNO
Rauw Alejandro (2023)
“Saturno is the album that made Rauw Alejandro click for me. What could’ve been another sleek reggaeton project turns into a full-on world—cold, futuristic, and emotionally distant in a way that feels intentional. From the jump, the synths are icy, the beats feel weightless, and Rauw sounds locked into a vision that’s way more ambitious than I expected. Tracks like “Lejos del Cielo” and “DILUVIO” pull you in with atmosphere first, emotion second, and by the time the album settles into its groove, it’s hard not to be impressed by how cohesive everything feels. There are moments where the pacing drags and a few ideas blur together, but the commitment to the aesthetic keeps it engaging. Saturno isn’t just a playlist of songs but it’s an experience. It showed me Rauw as an artist who thinks in eras, not singles, and that’s what sold me.”

With an eclectic mosaic of sounds across 1980s and ’90s freestyle, Miami bass, house, and old-school reggaeton, the Puerto Rican star’s new album delivers floor-fillers that actually try something different.

The Puerto Rican superstar's third album is euphoric post-pandemic dancefloor fun.
