I bet you all thought my first Daddy Yankee post would be "Despacito", didn't you?
No.
This re-imagination of Snow's "Informer" is somewhat spectacular, and Daddy Yankee had the presence of mind, as well as the respect for those who came before him in reggaeton to INCLUDE Snow in this. It would become a minor hit in its own right.... and the biggest selling Spanish-language single for the first half of 2019.
....but a Katy Perry remix shot this into the top 40, making Snow a THREE hit wonder..... and this a Hall of Fame post. See if you can catch all the callbacks to Teenage Dream.
The Katy Perry version received some bad reviews - one writer implied that the person who suggested it might be trying to sabotage her career (Pitbull, for the record, and he isn't) , but a largely Spanish-language song reached the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 - so I think there's some credibility to the collaboration.
I mean, it can't be worse for her career than her decision to a an American Idol judge....
