Marshmello Lights Up the Musical Scene with “Sugar Papi”
World-famous producer and artist Marshmello unleashes a musical whirlwind with the release of his first album, “Sugar Papi.” This emotional tribute to Latin culture and its rhythms is a heady journey through a sonic tapestry that fuses Marshmello’s musical signature with Latin vibes, from Argentina to Puerto Rico.
The album is the result of a deep connection that Marshmello has maintained with Latin culture since his childhood, after touring several countries that have greatly influenced him. “Sugar Papi” is available today on all digital platforms, offering an exquisite sample of eleven carefully curated songs packed with stellar collaborations.
Marshmello’s power to transcend Latin subgenres is evident in every bar of “Sugar Papi,” with collaborations that include notable figures such as Young Miko, Nicky Jam, Farruko, Anuel AA, Manuel Turizo, Fuerza Regida, Polimá WestCoast, Tiago PZK, ChocQuibTown, Luisa Sonza, Lil Cake and Brray.
The album’s focus, “Alcohol,” featuring Anuel AA, mixes sinister synths with the melancholic rhythm of reggaetón, highlighting Marshmello’s innate ability to reinvent genres. From the reggaeton of “Tusi” with Lil Cake and Brray to the trance fusion of “Super High” with Chilean rapper Polimá WestCoast, each track is a unique sound universe.
The party continues with Colombian supertrio ChocQuibTown in “Donde Esta Que No Los Veo”, a bachata-tinged ode. The album closer, “Sou Musa Do Verão”, performed by Luisa Sonza in Portuguese, fuses elements of Brazilian funk with electronic synthesizers, masterfully closing this musical journey.
Marshmello, grateful for the embrace of the Latin community, shared: “Nothing compares to the love and energy I have felt from the Latin community. It was vital for me to immerse my audience in this world that I admire so much. Thank you all for allowing me to be part of this incredible culture.”
The album also features previously released singles, including “Tempo,” “El Merengue,” “Como Yo :(“, and “Esta Vida.” These hits have racked up millions of streams worldwide, cementing Marshmello as a benchmark. in the Latin music scene, with award nominations and notable recognitions to his credit.
