With ‘MIXTEIP’, J Balvin surprises again—blending classic reggaeton and global features into one dynamic project.
J Balvin opens a new chapter in his career with MIXTEIP, an unexpected 10-track album filled with cultural references, sonic innovation, and sharp collaborations. Known for redefining Latin music on a global stage, Balvin uses this surprise drop to revisit reggaeton while expanding his creative scope.
From the energetic lead track “Zun Zun” with longtime collaborators Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavarez, to the salsa-infused “Misterio” featuring Gilberto Santa Rosa, Balvin invites listeners into a world where boundaries between genres disappear. The visual aesthetic of “Zun Zun” enhances this nostalgia, giving fans a vibrant snapshot of reggaeton’s golden era.
Balvin’s artistry shines in genre-bending moments like “Uuu” with Stormzy, where the reggaeton titan embraces drill, or on “Bruz Wein,” where R&B and trap elements merge into a brooding sonic landscape. 
Romantic themes surface in “PQBL” and “No Te Olvido,” both showcasing Balvin’s ability to craft emotionally resonant pop-reggaeton hybrids. Each track maintains a clear artistic vision, culminating in “¿Dónde Está Jose?”—a closer that signals reflection, transformation, and intent.
With additional tracks like “KLK” featuring Omega and “Rio,” Balvin builds a project that feels rooted yet progressive. MIXTEIP marks more than a release; it’s an artistic pivot, executed on his own terms.
