“Desenfocao’” is a shimmering, stadium-ready track that shows off Alejandro’s sonic and aesthetic range, combining 80’s new wave with disco-flecked pop sounds. “Cúrame” is more sparse in comparison, drawing from classical guitar, lo-fi hip hop, and traditional reggaeton beats to create something almost tropically gothic.
