After delivering her high-charting debut album Unstoppable in 2017 and her smash "Ahora Me Llama" breakout single with Bad Bunny, Colombia's Karol G gave both fans and industry bosses expectations for her to deliver on. Rather than follow a formula, however, she changes the game profoundly on her follow-up, Ocean. Certainly, there are smoking urbano jams here, as evidenced by the singles "Punto G," the smash "Mi Cama" (as well as its included remix with Nicky Jam and J Balvin), and the trap power ballad "La Ocasión Perfecta." Other highlights include a duet with boyfriend Anuel AA on the steamy "Culpables," the throwback hip-hop of "Aprendí," the slippery, folkish trap of "La Vida Continuó," featuring Simon Simaria, and the midtempo groove of "Crème" with Maluma. But there's more, too, adding to the wealth of diversity to this attempt at Latin pop domination. The title track is a sumptuous, intimately wrought piano ballad, "Love with a Quality" is a reggae-cum-trap finger-popper with Damian Marley, and the tender, acoustic guitar-based love song "Dices Que Te Vas" features Anuel (who knew he could sing?). There is something for almost any Latin pop fan on Ocean -- all of it is crafted beautifully and honestly delivered. Given its number two chart entry at Top Latin Albums, it appears that Karol G has given the slip to the sophomore slump. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
