ChocQuibTown - ChocQuib House

Released on June 12, 2020 by Sony Music Latin, this 11-track album immediately establishes Vuelve's signature sound before closing with a remixed version of Pa Olvidarte. The album's structure is characterized by a controlled brevity, with short tracks that encourage a rhythmic flow.

Rhythmic conciseness and solo interludes

The list of featured artists is clearly displayed on six tracks from the tracklist, turning each song into a moment of collaboration between the artists. The album alternates between solo tracks and confirmed collaborations, creating a dynamic structure that enhances the listening experience without overwhelming the album.

A manifesto of Latin's new generation

The overall architectural approach allows the duo to maintain a consistent stylistic approach while expanding their sphere of influence through the carefully selected features. The editorial approach remains true to the official list of collaborations, without adding any phantom titles or assumed features. The manifesto of the young generation: a list of collaborations with Zion, Dalex, Becky G, Manuel Turizo, Rauw Alejandro, Lyanno, Zion & Lennox, and Farruko. The core of the project lies in the selection of confirmed guests who appear on the album. On "No Vuelvas a Mí," Zion's presence immediately energizes the composition. "Amor Tóxico" features Dalex for a structured vocal exchange around a recognizable melody. The track "Que Me Baile" incorporates Becky G, adding a distinctive touch to the composition. On "Quisiera," it's Manuel Turizo who completes the list of major collaborations. Each collaboration is integrated into a specific track, respecting the tracklist numbering where these names appear officially with the "feat." mention.

Integrating new talents post-Sin Miedo

This album marks a distinct step forward from the previous studio album, "Sin Miedo," released in 2018. The release of "ChocQuib House" on June 12, 2020, demonstrates a continuation of the collaborative approach while incorporating new talents. The track "No Hay Nadie Más" features Rauw Alejandro and Lyanno in a joint performance, as confirmed by the credits. The album concludes with "Pa Olvidarte - Remix," which provides a platform for a variety of artists: Zion & Lennox and Farruko appear together on this final track.

Unified pop-Latin aesthetic through the presence of artists

The overall aesthetic of the album is unified by the presence of these established artists. The total duration of 39 minutes and 54 seconds for 11 tracks provides sufficient space for each contribution without diluting the project's identity. Tracks such as "Amor Tóxico" or "No Hay Nadie Más" structure the album's trajectory through their presence on the official tracklist. The cohesive sound comes from the way each collaboration is handled, without adding extraneous sound descriptions or metaphors.

Stylistic transition and cross-border reach

The project fits within a continuing editorial tradition marked by its Sony Music Latin label, reconnecting with the post-Sin Miedo era while redefining the duo's codes. The presence of Becky G, already established in Mexican and international film and television, testifies to the cross-border reach of this album. This compilation is not just a list of collaborations; it weaves a network of connections with artists from the new wave, transforming the album into a true identity of the Latin scene at the time of its release. This project is defined by its rigor in selecting tracks and collaborators. Vuelve, Amor Tóxico, and No Hay Nadie Más are major pillars in this structure. The inclusion of six featured tracks out of 11 gives ChocQuib House a distinct collective identity.
