The summer of 2024 heats up with the release of “De Vuelta” (Back Again), a fiery reggaeton collaboration between Argentinian rising star Tiago PZK and established Colombian singer Manuel Turizo. This highly anticipated track ignites a familiar flame of reggaeton passion, while also incorporating elements of modern trap and boasting a lyrical duel that redefines heartbreak narratives. “De Vuelta” is more than just a catchy song; it’s a statement about ownership, desire, and the complexities of navigating past relationships.
A Fusion of Styles:
“De Vuelta” seamlessly blends the raw energy of trap with the infectious rhythm of reggaeton. The prominent dembow beat lays the foundation, punctuated by pulsating bass drops and shimmering synth flourishes. This fusion of styles caters to a broad audience, appealing to both fans of traditional reggaeton and those who enjoy the edgier sounds of modern trap.
A Tale of Two Voices:
The song’s strength lies in the interplay between Tiago PZK and Manuel Turizo’s distinct vocals. PZK delivers his verses with a characteristic youthful swagger, lamenting a lost love while boasting about his current success. Turizo, on the other hand, injects a touch of soulful maturity, portraying a deeper understanding of the emotional complexities of the situation. The contrast between their styles creates a captivating narrative, offering a multi-faceted perspective on the aftermath of a breakup.
Beyond the Surface: Ownership and Desire
While “De Vuelta” thrives on its catchy melody and danceable rhythm, the lyrics delve deeper than a typical heartbreak anthem. PZK asserts his ownership over his past relationship, claiming “Tengo tu nota de voz diciéndome: ‘Papi, te amo'” (I have your voice note saying: ‘Baby, I love you’) and emphasizing that he has moved on. Lines like “Encima mío en faldi, yo encima tuyo en Calvin / En tus curva’ ‘toy drifting, yo soy tu fiel romantic” (On top of me in a skirt, me on top of you in Calvin / Drifting on your curves, I’m your loyal romantic) showcase his confidence and his desire to rewrite the narrative of the relationship.
Turizo’s Counterpoint: The Haunting Past
Turizo’s verses offer a counterpoint to PZK’s bravado. He portrays a more conflicted stance, acknowledging the lingering effects of the past love. Lines like “Mi amor, no le mientas / En las rede’ te ves contenta, pero él no se da cuenta / Que me quiere’ de vuelta” (My love, don’t lie to him / You look happy on social media, but he doesn’t realize / That she wants me back) hint at a deeper emotional connection and a desire for reconciliation. This lyrical tug-of-war creates a compelling tension within the song, reflecting the messy and often contradictory emotions that accompany heartbreak.
A Visually Striking Music Video:
The music video for “De Vuelta” perfectly complements the song’s themes. Shot in a vibrant Miami setting, the video showcases both artists surrounded by luxury cars, beautiful women, and an air of carefree hedonism. However, interspersed throughout these scenes are shots of PZK looking contemplative and Turizo gazing longingly at his phone, hinting at the emotional turmoil simmering beneath the surface. The video’s visual narrative reinforces the song’s lyrical complexity, leaving viewers to contemplate the characters’ true feelings.
A New Era of Reggaeton?
“De Vuelta” marks a potential turning point for reggaeton. By incorporating elements of trap and exploring themes of male vulnerability and emotional complexity, the song pushes the boundaries of the genre. This evolution could attract a wider audience and pave the way for a new era of reggaeton that is both catchy and emotionally resonant.
A Testament to Collaboration:
The success of “De Vuelta” lies not only in the individual talents of PZK and Turizo, but also in the synergy created by their collaboration. Their contrasting styles and approaches to the lyrical themes create a captivating back-and-forth that keeps the listener engaged.
A Song with Staying Power:
“De Vuelta” is a summer anthem with staying power. Its infectious melody, compelling narrative, and visually striking music video combine to create a package that will resonate with fans of both artists and reggaeton enthusiasts alike. Whether it sparks nostalgic memories of classic reggaeton or ushers in a new era for the genre, “De Vuelta” is a song that demands attention.
~ *De Vuelta Feat Manuel Turizo (Letra/Lyrics)*
Tengo tu nota de voz
diciéndome “Papi te amo”
hace tiempo que ya no hablamos
pero sigo pensando en vos
Y en cómo se termino
Y aunque tenes otro a tu lado
seguis recordando el pasado
lo rico que lo hacíamos
Mi amor no le mientas
En las redes te ves contenta
pero el no se da cuenta
que me quieres de vuelta
que te lo hace bien aparenta
pero ni te calienta
Mi amor no le mientas
En las redes te ves contenta
pero el no se da cuenta
que me quieres de vuelta
que te lo hace bien aparenta
pero ni te calienta
Tiene en la cuenta más USD
que no te lleva a las nubes se ve
todavía tengo tus nudes bebé
En un USB
Tu encima mío en faldy
yo encima tuyo en Calvin
en tus curvas estoy drifting
yo soy tu fiel romantic
subite al automatic
conmigo es automática
es que desde que tú estás con el bebé
tu amor no lo pones en práctica
enamorado (de mi cintura)
Envenenado (no tengo cura)
Hipnotizado (ay que locura)
Mi amor no le mientas
En las redes te ves contenta
pero el no se da cuenta
que me quieres de vuelta
que te lo hace bien aparenta
pero ni te calienta
Soy el fantasma de tu cabeza
me imaginas cuando lo besas
como la noche tu te vas
pero conmigo siempre regresas
El fantasma de tu cabeza
me imaginas cuando lo besas
sé que te vas
pero siempre regresas
Quiero ser Da Vinci
tu mi Mona Lisa
te toco y siento que el mundo se friza
tus piernas temblando y no era por la brisa
Las manos contra la repisa
esto es una requisa
Te beso y tus labios se mojan
Si te ven cualquiera se antoja
escribí lo que siento y no alcanza la hoja
tu eres mi reina, pongan la alfombra roja
El secreto de tu mirada y la mía
y no somos Chencho y Maldy
Loquita pero dulce como candy
Tu encima mío en fal…
Mi amor no le mientas
En las redes te ves contenta
pero el no se da cuenta
que me quieres de vuelta
que te lo hace bien aparenta
pero ni te calienta
Mi amor no le mientas
En las redes te ves contenta
pero el no se da cuenta
que me quieres de vuelta
que te lo hace bien aparenta
pero ni te calienta
