We’re ringing in 2025 with some stunning news from the reggaetón king himself, Bad Bunny! Can you believe it? Just as we finish our holiday leftovers, he’s serving us a fresh album, titled DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS—or for us non-Spanish speakers, “I Should’ve Taken More Pictures.” Dropping on Three Kings Day, January 5, at 7PM EST, this much-anticipated record promises to keep our playlists hot while we reminisce about the past year. But wait, it gets better! Not only do we get solo tracks like “EL CLúB,” but he’s also teaming up with a mix of rising stars and beloved local talents—from the vibrant Dei V and Omar Courtz to indie darlings Chuwi and cultural icons Los Pleneros De La Cresta. So, how do you condense all the excitement of Bad Bunny’s latest musical endeavor into mere words? Spoiler alert: it’s tough, especially since this album seems to dive deeper into Puerto Rican culture than ever before. So grab your earbuds and a sense of adventure—let’s break down what makes this upcoming album a potential masterpiece and a heartfelt tribute to his roots. Did someone say cultural renaissance? Oh, I’m here for it!
Bad Bunny is kicking off 2025 with some very exciting news for his fans, especially his die-hards in his native archipelago of Puerto Rico. His next album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (“I Should’ve Taken More Pictures”) comes out on Three Kings Day Eve (Sunday, January 5) at 7PM EST, and he’s shared the tracklist for it. Beyond solo singles like “EL CLúB,” Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio will also collaborate with rising reggaetón superstars Dei V, Omar Courtz, and RaiNao. In addition, he will also include tracks with the indie band Chuwi (the best boricua artists right now, in this writer’s humble opinion) and with the excellent local plena outfit Los Pleneros De La Cresta.
With all this in mind – plus the, cultural, folkloric, and traditional music references on “PIToRRO DE COCO” – it seems like this will be Bad Bunny’s most Puerto Rico-centric album to date, which is saying a lot but is nonetheless incredibly exciting. He also released a short film starring legendary boricua multi-hyphenate Jacobo Morales that speaks to themes of rampant gentrification, cultural roots, and the importance of defending heritage.
Of course, for those of you in tune with Bad Bunny’s artistic presence beyond his commercial dominance in the Hispanic and global music sphere, this is nothing new. He’s always been a strong advocate for addressing Puerto Rico’s political, economic, and sociocultural challenges. The 30-year-old may have endorsed Kamala Harris for U.S. President last year, but he’s more concerned with addressing the colonial struggles that said regime continues to bombard the archipelago with, no matter who’s in the White House. In addition, he caused controversy by speaking out against the incumbent government of Puerto Rico, which perpetuates that invasive exploitation while benefitting from a slew of humanitarian and social injustices.
If that was a mouthful for you, then you understand why Bad Bunny fans can’t wait to unpack all this on DeBÍ TiRAR Más FOToS, which we’re sure will include some amazing music that will resonate across cultural boundaries. It will be very special for Puerto Rican fans who are as hurt as he is for the archipelago. Despite these broad issues, Benito will use his art as his primary tool to help others in their fight, and we’ll see what sonic direction he uses to do so.
