Last Friday saw J Balvin release his new single and video “Morado” (“Purple”), a second chapter in his new series of releases presenting new music as distinctive colorscapes. Once again working with favorite and frequent creative collaborators such as SKY (song producer and co-writer), video director Collin Tilley, and Takashi Murakami (artwork), J Balvin continues to develop his globally embraced distinctive style of Reggaeton – this time with an upbeat intimate party invitation in color appropriate regal surroundings. The strong reaction to “Morado” has been immediate, with wide critical praise, and fans quickly generating over 15 Million YouTube views in its first four days of release. Simultaneously, last fall’s ‘head-spinning and hypnotic’ “Blanco” video has just surpassed 100 million YouTube views.
