Canarian singer Quevedo is back with his third album, titled El Baifo. The album includes tracks like Ni borracho and La Graciosa, the latter featuring a special collaboration with Elvis Crespo. The artist continues to consolidate his sound between urban music and the rhythms of his homeland, already amassing millions of streams in the first hours after release.
The production behind Quevedo's new sound 🎧
The album was worked on between studios in Madrid and the Canary Islands, with sound engineers who have opted for clean vocal processing and punchy bass. The mix on La Graciosa includes layers of tropical percussion and synthesizers reminiscent of modern merengue. The final mastering has been optimized for streaming platforms, prioritizing a flat response in mid frequencies. A technical exercise to ensure it sounds good both on headphones and car speakers.
Elvis Crespo, the true baifo of the collaboration 🎤
The best part is that Quevedo has achieved something that seemed impossible: getting Elvis Crespo to play in a club again without anyone asking to change the song. La Graciosa is a crossover as improbable as it is functional, and it's only a matter of time before the Canarian releases a version with a timple so even German tourists dance to it at Playa del Inglés. Of course, no one knows if the baifo in the title refers to the singer or the rhythm Crespo has brought to it.
