It's not nearly as catchy as Despechá and even the video looks similar with the more carefree footage of people at the beach. Tho wish her the best, her career is a mess it's like it never manages to stick for one reason or another.

It’s the music. Her singles are weak most of the times

Excited for this :jonny5: Omega is so iconic in the Dominican community, hopefully this song does decent. 

yeah they're clearly trying to secure a fulanito 2.0 with this and i ain't mad at it

I have never understood what the hell is going with her career.

 

She was one of the very first female Latinas to get a big a hit and then she had a 1-2-3 punch of back to back hits and then everything went downhill and fast.

 

Her debut was actually strong but nothing really sticked (other than the already released singles). Then she just went to collaborate with D-list artists, and her album last year flopped, sadly. I guess El Alfa and Karol saved it from being a total embarrassment. She has no direction, and looks like the GP is not invested in her as an artist, they just want the eventual casual bop (usually thanks to somebody else). My poor girl deserves better.

 

Justice for Baile Con Mi Ex!! :fish2:

before her career was in limbo because she was signed to dr luke when she finally found success it wasn't instant. she had to start over from scratch and make music in spanish with a new label. she was putting out latin pop hits and had a latin pop album that was scrapped because the singles that she released weren't performing to the label's standards. her debut album had multiple hits. thought it was super weird for them to not include la respuesta featuring maluma and how they randomly scrapped romance with annuel aa which sparked the karol g feud rumors and then when mala santa finally took off and could've secured her a solo hit single they once again did nothing. no drama and rotate deserved a place on her sophmore album and no mientan needed either another verse or a remix with an artist because it was one of the more interesting tracks that was hindered due to it's runtime. fulanito and especially mami were huge hits. i was livid when the original music video was scrapped but homegirl was collecting streams and awards. she's not a lost cause because thankfully she has fans and hits but her career status is annoying. clearly the gp likes her. she just needs to be consistent with her releases and the quality of them. promote! your wrong when you say that she lacks direction when she actually is one of the more commercially interesting of the latin girls. taijin, dolores, guapa and kill bill are all great songs that show versatility and creativity. baile con mi ex deserved to be her tacones rojo! again her issue is promotion and quality inconsistency. for every bop she puts out she puts out a dud and it's annoying. the irony about her hit songs being collaborations is that when SHE is featured on someone else's song she's ALWAYS the best part and eats the lead artist up ALWAYS.

The fact that she went from being the MLG just to be overshadowed by the most of the girlies :redface:

She had one of the biggest hits last year let's not do all that

The Mala Santa tour was canceled due to the pandemic.

This is cute but doesn’t seem like a smash. I hope it is for her sake but I wonder why she or her team can’t make HITS. I still laugh at whoever chose baile con mi ex after mami …lmao what a tragic decision. 

this is literally a fulanito 2.0 i think it'll do ok

becky spent years in the US being held by dr Luke. she only started latin music because it wasn't blocked by her contract. when she started there was NO infrastructure at all to support her- management, label, radio etc for the latin markets. Mayores was her first song with Sony Latin and when it took off they were scrambling to line everything up and put an album out. she still doesn't have any key people in her team to push her creatively. that's why things seem cheap and rushed.

nothing about her is cheap or rushed. they also didn't scramble to put an album out in a rush considering it took 2 years after mayores to even get one out. she actually is creative. check out her albums or features on other people's songs girl has IT. her only flaw has been not being able to come up with solid english music over the past several years

i like this so much more than 80% of her last album

not you saying this when 80 percent of her last album is good :ace:

This song is great. :WAP:  Ms G's career is messy af but at least she can still serve bops.

She deserves the be where Karol G is at career wise. Becky's team is the worst she needs a new label but thanks to Dr Luke I don't see that happening anytime soon..who knows what kind of album contract with Kemosabe she's stuck with. Her drive will keep her in the industry for a long time though so I'm still rooting for my girl

 

 

I agree with all this. I hope she gets her s*it together asap

honestly though. karol is where she's at because she's everywhere and is never not working or putting out music. becky stays clinging to her hot ass man and then promoting her chola make up when it's like sis book a stage! promote. how she hasn't been on tour is beyond me? she could've easily opened up for karol in my opinion

On 3/11/2023 at 12:50 AM, CathyBees said:

It's frustrating because Becky has so much potential but I feel like she dropped her album then stopped promoting. Are there any tour plans for this album?

literally this it's so annoying then every few months or so homegirl brings up her anxiety like sis...

I'm not a fan of her as a whole artist, but sometimes she releases bops and I love that.

she and doja would EAT if they made a song together

On 3/11/2023 at 10:25 PM, Jay L said:

no sign of a tour yet.. :noparty:which is insane because I've seen her live before and she a great performer. Tour would make a huge impact on building her fanbase but for some reason she refuses to. Hopefully she does one this year but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

OT this song is such a fun bop :katie2:been on repeat

yeah it's very weird. i saw her for governor's ball last year and she was fantastic! why she doesn't or refuses to is very strange and someone needs to clock her on that asap

her singles are the only thing that stick what are you talking about lol

 

she needs more high profile collaborations though. like if she wanted to she could secure a collaboration with shakira, jlo, kali uchis, danna paola, rosalia or camila cabello. if she's gonna go for the more lesser known girls paloma mami, mariah angeliq and emilia would be good options. also not for nothing but she needs to start hopping on some english songs with a verse for some exposure the way she would slide on a song with selena gomez would be such a serve.

 

and while a song with an icon like omega is cute feat linking up with the likes of tainy, sebastian yatra, manuel turizo, rauw alejandro, and bizarrap

How is it doing on Spotify?

The real problem with her career is that she's still under contract with Kemosabe aka Dr.Luke even if they had a fight for a contract years ago. 

 

I think she is, (just like Kesha) stuck into a machine way bigger than her ... Fortunately she seems to be in peace and she is still allowed to make some music ... "Arranca" is good but she will never be a A-list like Rosalìa or Karol G :'(

She already has 3 classics 

 

she doesn’t need to be getting smash after smash at this point

 

all she needs is to be active and up her celebrity status

 

be this generation’s Jlo

 

she already has some movies under belt

go make a Netflix movie or a Netflix show 

go become the brand of shampoo/perfumes/yogurt whatever 

Then she can keep releasing the one off songs like amantes/arranca

then if she keeps her celebrity high there’s more chance for her songs to smash

her contract with luke only affects her when it comes to releasing music in english which is why she had to resort to rebooting her career in latin markets. at one point one could argue that she was A list just wasn't able to sustain her place there due to lack of promo and inconsistency in the quality of her outputs. also rosalia isn't necessarily a traditional latin popstar. alot of her material is avant garde but she's a critical darling and always never not working and putting out music consistently unlike becky.

3 classics? she has more than that

 

shower

mayores

sin pijima

fulanito

mami

 

and these are just the songs that have her as a lead

 

she hasn't done enough acting to give her any credibility. power rangers should've been IT. her playing the first live action gay latina superstar was such a big deal. 

i agree about booking somekind of show or movie role in the meantime in between eras. she's also done and is still doing a bunch of brand deals and sponsorships actually so that area is covered as well. she has a pretty public and popular relationship with her soccer fiance going. because she hasn't been able to sustain her rightful place we can all argue that she still very much needs to be putting in the work or she can be left behind. the same thing unfortunately is already happening to natti who at one point was above karol and becky. the market is very saturated and competitive. becky needs to put in the work. i'm a little confused because apparently during the pandemic she was talking about putting out a full english album but then nada. let's see what happens and hopefully we get BG3 next year. more female collabs and high profile ones in general. at this point with her having a friendship with jlo they should collab. we would've been a solid feature on no mienten

There’s a difference between a classic and a hit. I know she has more hits but she only has 3 classics meaning she will always be known because of the classic songs

Who in Latin America knows Shower? And how is Fulanito a classic? It has like 1/3 of the streams of the other songs and let’s not even talk about YouTube where Mayores and SP have like 2 billion each

Because it was a new sound for her and it was all over different environments here in NY and in DR. Alot of people know Becky from SHOWER because to many it is her debut single and was her first and only big hit in English

i mean i get it but she better at least be working behind the scenes because if she's still showing up for events and just released a new song then it makes it seem otherwise

I love this song since day one, and I was just thinking about the fact the weather in France was matching the vibe of Arranca.

 

Great to see it charting on Spotify France !
