"Well, I want to start right at the beginning of 2025 because nobody in pop right now has more swag than Bad Bunny. And he released an album called "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" in January that ruled the zeitgeist all year. And from that album, the biggest hit was a song called "Baile Inolvidable" that absolutely set people dancing all year long."
"This song is one of my favorite kinds of songs. It is a dance song about dancing. It's just such a fun song. Hey, it's also about heartbreak, though - I have to say - and that message comes through. But the ultimate quiet agenda of this song is to, you know, promote the beauty of Latin music and Latin culture, which is totally Benito's thing."
"We're going to shift gears here. And the name of this next song is kind of funny in itself - all caps and exclamation point at the end - "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!" RAYE: (Singing) Baby - woo-hoo - where the hell is my husband? Woo-hoo. What is takin' him so long to find me? Woo-hoo. Raye is a British singer, and to me, she's in the line of the great theatrical pop singers like Barbra Streisand, Cyndi Lauper, Amy Winehouse. She has so much wit and intelligence."
Bad Bunny released the album "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" in January 2025, with the biggest hit being "Baile Inolvidable," a dance song that also addresses heartbreak and kept people dancing throughout the year. The song emphasizes the beauty of Latin music and Latin culture as part of its core message. Raye performs the all-caps single "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!" with playful, theatrical lyrics. Raye is a British singer compared to Barbra Streisand, Cyndi Lauper, and Amy Winehouse, and the performance foregrounds wit, intelligence, and showy pop vocalism.
