In our Latin Remix of the Week series, we spotlight remixes that the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors deem to be exceptional and distinct from the rest. We might not publish a review every week. This is our selection today.
Shakira and Bizarrap‘s groundbreaking diss track “Vol. 53” shattered conventions, giving the legendary singer an opportunity to share her raw feelings through a stunning song. Its explicit finger-pointing and unapologetic storytelling marked a departure from the veiled references of the singer’s past breakup songs, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Now, with its remix, this icy electro-pop anthem receives the house treatment in the capable hands of superproducer Tiësto. Often referred to by his peers as the “Godfather of EDM,” Tiësto brings his unmistakable style to the turntables, transforming the already electrifying track into a pulsating dance floor banger.
