Tengo Fuerza, Fuego, y Dinamita

Are these the EP names?

It was mentioned, yes. The thing is the old name was "Mis Raices" for what I knew (and @Postertina too). Anyway, I'm not sure about the fuerza, fuego y dinamita thing since it's Becky who sings that, not Xtina

This track is doing its thing by reintroducing her to the market and everyone is loving it. So why worrying about it not hitting crazy numbers? She's has given so much this era already, ENJOY that. She's still the big artist we all adore.

Because it's not mainstream. "I Like It" used an old sample and it happened to become a hit. It's hardly something you hear on the radio all the time and you know this. Respectfully if you're not digging the song/video that's fine, but please don't be a debbie downer and turn this thread negative. Moving along...

It is absolutely mainstream and to say that it isn't is delusion. I never said I don't like the song. I said i'm not crazy about it as the lead single. I've streamed it all day long and I purchased the song. I've watched the video at least 10 times today and changed my avi just like everyone else here.

So "Respectfully", I can say whatever the fuck I want to say. I've been a stan and have been giving this woman my coins since I was 9 years old. You can keep it moving and continue to scroll if you don't like it. Some of you want to sit here and try and police how everyone should feel about this new song. I am my own person capable of independent thought. This is not a Hive. I can express my opinion in the same way that you can express YOURS. If my words are strong enough to ruin your perception of the new music or tarnish your experience as a fan, then perhaps you subconsciously agree with me. So yes, move along...

Seeing a bunch of purple mess. Unfortunate.

Moving along to more important things...

And you will continue to see more and stay mad about it. Go head and hit that ignore button if you’re that bothered by the color. You quoted me not the other way around.

Bye gurl!

I LOVE that she decided to go with this song as the first single, she’s paying homage to other sounds in the Latin culture besides reggaeton. I love that about her, and the song is catchy as well I love it.

A friend who is not a fan told me she really likes the song. And don’t let me start with people complaining about her “screaming”, she’s Xtina Aguilera, the runs are her signature, were you expecting her to be whispering instead?

What about this song isn’t a “trend” tho? The beat sounds almost exactly like “I Like It” by Cardi B. It’s a “Cha Cha” beat with an urban twist. Why are y’all acting like this is not mainstream? Lol

Same here. I still think Santo would have been a better choice. I honestly don’t think PMM is single material at all . I imagine myself listening to this song while being in a cafe and enjoying a cappuccino, that’s the vibe it’s giving me… a chilled vibe, except for that last part EeeeeeeEEEeeee (i still don’t like that part )… and I AM A HUGE Xtina fan! Not a troll.

Interesting… to me I get a vibe of wandering down a street in the evening then kind of stumbling into a high energy bar . To me the song builds appropriately though I could do without the nathy verse or whoever comes after the second girl (Becky?)

I only heard the demo of Santo a couple times so don’t really remember what it sounded like.

The question is does Xtina stick to this album version for live performances or does she dodge the ending/ tone it down?

I was really thinking of this. Will she sing the song as it is? Haha.

I really imagined the video differently too - four totally normal women/ 4 mothers who can do anything, manage work, kids, and so on. A really simple, colorful, video, with Christina dressed normally, in jeans. I would’ve made the video more relatable to all the women out there.

This does not sound like “I Like It” Lolita though.
This is clearly not a trend-chasing track. Even if the sounds lend themselves to commercial formats. If doing something en vogue was the intent there were enough people working on this project who are in the Latin music community who could make it happen.

Umm you can play “I Like It” over this beat and it would sound almost the same. It’s a standard Latin beat. Nothing wrong with that, I’m sure they were trying to aim for a radio friendly single. But let’s not act like this is Flamenco Pop or something

Trying too hard again

what are your other thoughts, sis?

I’ve already shared my other thoughts. I’m not crazy about this song as the first single. But it’s growing on me the more I listen to it and I’m streaming the Hell out of it.
