On the release day of her third studio album KG0516 , Karol G dropped the focus track "El Makinon" alongside Mariah Angeliq .
The infectious head-bopping, hip-swaying reggaetón song, produced by Neo, is about breaking all the rules with the girls. "Makinon," slang for a big machine, tells the story of a girl who's been independent since she was 16 years old -- and now that she's older, she can still depend on herself.
"El Makinon" debuted at No. 9 on Hot Latin Songs. Check out the full lyrics translated to English below.
I'm chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
And since I went out
They all want to repeat
But I'm doing something else, baby, I already left
Now I'm chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
Now I'm chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
And the bus is G5, baby, you can't see inside
We can get it on, we can also get high
I want to handcuff you as if it were barracks
An Airbnb or we'll go to a hotel
I'll eat you wherever
Tell me how to escape
Tell me if we are or we aren't, I forgive no one
This booty will go viral and without any promo
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM's exploding but there's no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM's exploding but there's no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
The real bichota, papi
Haha, and the toxic one
You already know, mmm
Karol G with Mariah
Ey (now there's no break, papi)
Careful that we're coming (Mmm; ja)
With a badass flow
(It's Mariah, babe
Mariah Angeliq
No)
Karol G 'KG0516' Album Review: A New Beginning
'KG0516' is Karol G's reclamation of reggaeton - The Tufts Daily
Intense reggaeton rhythms synthesize with calm pop vocals in the newest album by reggaeton's current queen Karol G. On March 25, the Colombian singer released " KG0516 ,” a title that commemorates the day her parents first signed her stage name into existence : the genesis of Karol G.
Born Carolina Giraldo Navarro in Medellín, Colombia in 1991 , she has since risen meteorically to fame as Karol G. As one of the most successful female musicians ever in the reggaeton genre , her newest album embraces this status and dispels some of the stereotypes that often surround women in the music industry and a genre as male-dominated as reggaeton.
"KG0516" begins with a pop-reggaeton fusion in " Déjalos Que Miren, " a love ballad presumably directed at her ex-fiancée Anuel AA, a nother famous Reggaeton musician. From there, the album quickly evolves into one characterized by female empowerment , which seemingly reflects Karol G's own journey to the top of the music world.
Throughout the album, Karol G uplifts female voices and artists. In " El Makinon, " she collaborates with Mariah Angeliq , a rising star, in a song that refutes many of the stereotypes for women within the reggaeton genre . Instead of singing about the men they love, Mariah Angeliq and Karol G sing about hanging out with their crew, driving around in Lamborghinis and breaking the law since they were 16 years old. I t is clear from the song's lyrics and music video that Karol G and Mariah Angeliq have thrown convention out the window (presumably, of their Lamborghinis).
Similarly, the song " 200 Copas " seems to be a different type of love ballad: a “corrido,” a song for one of Karol G' s friends who she feels is being mistreated by her boyfriend . This song is unique not only because of its subject matter, but also because it is the first corrido track by Karol G and solidifies that this album will be a mix of different musical styles.
The popular " Bichota" is confident, sex-empowering and a declaration of Karol G's independence , strength and femininity in a male-dominated genre. Notably, the album also includes the monumental "Tusa" with Nicki Mina j, which was a pre-release and has already reached over one billion streams on Spotify. Sampling the song " Beautiful Girls" (2007) by Sean Kingston, "Beautiful Boy" with Ludacris and Emilee is a tender love song with an intimate, soothing melody set under heavy bass and strong rap verses .
The real powerhouses on the album are the songs " Arranca Pal Carajo " with reggaeton stars Juanka and Brray , " Sola Es Mejor " by up-and-coming musical group Yandar & Yostin and " Leyendas" with a whole list of collaborators: Wisin & Yandel , Nicky Jam, Ivy Queen, Zion and Alberto Stylee . " Arranca Pal Carajo " is a reggaeton track simply waiting for clubs and parties to resume so it can become a staple of the late-night scene. "Sola Es Mejor " delivers flowing techno voiceovers that flash through the underlying reggaeton beats.
Even given the brilliance of the rest of the album, " Leyendas" is masterful. A track that honors and samples the iconic song " Quiero Bailar" (2003) by the "Queen of Reggaeton," Ivy Queen , the song is both a reaffirmation of women's influence in the genre and also a sort of passing of the mic from one monarch to their successor. The track swells with 2000s reggaeton rhythms and fuses them flawlessly with a more modern sound. Each collaborating artist contributes a bombshell verse, one after the other, as the rhythm breaks down into different styles and substances. And, as usual, the contrasting beats and artists are held together by Karol G herself.
"KG0516" is a reclamation of reggaeton, one which proves that there is power in women's hands within the genre, and celebrates the artists and sounds of the past with twists of Karol G's unique style. Each song is special and remarkable in its own way. Overall, the album is a testament to Karol G's talent and power as a singer.

What to Expect at the 2021 Latin American Music Awards | Miami New Times
Get the most out of your experience with a personalized all-access pass to everything local on events, music, restaurants, news and more.
So what can you expect if you tune in? Artists including Maluma, Carlos Vives, Nicky Jam, and even Carrie Underwood have already been announced as performers, as has Karol G, who ties J Balvin as the most nominated artist of the night with nine nominations. Bad Bunny and Ozuna aren't far behind with eight and seven nominations, respectively. There may be more fans than ever supporting their favorites in the largely fan-voted award show as Latin music continues to expand its reach within the United States, but South Florida knows these artists better than most. Have your say by voting on Twitter or the Latin AMAs website .
Four of the night's most-nominated artists — Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Maluma, and Ozuna — are represented in the Favorite Male Artist category as well as the evening's top award, Artist of the Year. So it stands to reason that the Favorite Male Artist award may serve as a consolation prize of sorts for the Artist of Year runners-up.
Excluding the artist who rightfully deserves the top prize of the night (more on that below), this category should be a prizefight between Maluma and Ozuna. The former's hit "Hawái" single soundtracked a summer spent in quarantine. Still, Ozuna outdid himself this year with two album releases in less than five months: He released ENOC last September, spawning the hit single "Caramelo," before teaming up with fellow nominee Anuel AA on the collaborative album Los Dioses in January 2021.
In the end, Ozuna may inadvertently have given his collaborator an edge towards a repeat win: Anuel AA took home the Favorite Male Artist award in 2019.
While this category contains some longtime favorites (Shakira) and artists who have yet to get their proper due (Anitta), and two whole G's, it is indisputable that Karol G topped her fellow nominees this year. That was largely due to "Tusa," her collaborative single with Nicki Minaj, which became the Colombian singer's biggest hit to date and introduced her to English-speaking audiences. The song is also nominated for Song of the Year, contributing to her impressive nine nominations.
Still, there's a chance that Becky G's fans might band together to pull off an upset — the singer won the award for Favorite Female Artist at the 2019 ceremony.
Nominees: Anuel AA, Emmanuel ; Bad Bunny, YHLQMDLG ; J Balvin, Colores ; Natanael Cano, Corridos Tumbados
If recent history is any indication, Anuel AA might be a shoo-in for this category. The Puerto Rican rapper and singer swept at the 2019 Latin AMAs, with his debut album Real Hasta La Muerte being awarded the Album of the Year Award. Among the albums it beat out were the wildly popular Aura by Ozuna and Luis Fonsi's Vida , which included the little-known single "Despacito."

He looks for Shakira and rejects her, Karol G says he wanted collaboration – Explica .co
The famous and talented colombian Karol G, who will perform on the Latin stage American Music Awards 2021 , continues sweeping with his new album “KG0516”, even, the premiere was so triumphant that the same Spotify named it as the most successful production by a Spanish-speaking artist on the streaming platform worldwide.
And it is that, we cannot deny that it is a record production Sublime, because as we know, KG0516 has collaborations with the biggest stars in music, such as Ivy Queen, Camilo and Nicky Jam.
It is worth mentioning that this record material marks a before and after in the Colombian’s career, since it includes her first single in English entitled “Beautiful Boy” in conjunction with rapper Ludacris and a young tiktoker.
As if that were not enough, I interpreted it, I had very good plans for this specific album, however, or everything went as expected, because recently in an interview he stated that he had thought about inviting Shakira to be part of this production, but the Barranquilla did not accept the invitation.
That’s right, as incredible as it may seem, it was Karol G herself who revealed that she contacted her compatriot to participate in one of the songs of her new record production, unfortunately the answer was negative , but this did not stop the reggaeton, as she continued with her creation of musical entertainment for her fans.
In this way it was that the interpreter of the urban genre commented: “At some point I knocked on the door, let’s say that a year ago I looked for the opportunity to record with Shakira, it did not happen at that time,” he confessed during a press conference.
However, the interpreter of “Bichota” does not rule out the possibility of going back to look for the famous and talented Shakira to consider merging their voices into a song, which we know would be a complete worldwide success.
“Let’s see what happens, I’m not saying no, I’m not saying yes, it’s going to be part of what the future holds. If a song comes along that in my opinion is for Shakira, I’ll knock on the door again, if it doesn’t happen. However, my respect and admiration are infinite, because in addition to being a great woman in the world, she is from my country, she represents my home, she taught us that everything was possible, “he continued.
Very emotional, telling the audience all that she felt for both world stars, she said it this way: “We are talking about Shakira and J. Lo! I think that to talk about being at their level I have a long way, but a lot I mean, they are artists who have marked thousands of people, who have done global things, who have songs for movies and thousands of other things. I’m on the way, but to reach such legends I lack a lot “.

She also affirmed that it is no secret to anyone that she was born out of wedlock, but that she always had a father present, loving and taking care of her. She stated that from a very young age she had contact with ‘Papa G’ , the reggaeton and his other two sisters.
Katherine He says he wants to try to reestablish his relationship with his family because his mother’s family nucleus is very small.
