Sofia Reyes Talks 'Louder!' Album, Bilingual Lyrics & Supporting Women in Latin Music

FUSE TV - Sofia Reyes Talks 'Louder!' Album, Bilingual Lyrics & Supporting Women in Latin Music

It was a process three years in the making, but Sofia Reyes' debut album Louder! finally dropped last month, marking a major moment in the Mexican pop star's career. While the LP tackles an impressive amount of genres—from the summery, gypsy-music stylings of "Conmigo (Rest of Your Life)" to the acoustic-leaning "Puedes Ver Pero No Tocar" and the euphoric banda sound of single "Llegaste Tú"—the record also stands out for seamlessly blending English and Spanish to feel accessible to any listener regardless of their native tongue. 

The best example of Reyes' brilliant bilingual style was seen in her single "Solo Yo," which features her mentor/fellow Latin superstar Prince Royce and was released in both in Spanish and English, and shot to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. The accomplishment made the 21-year-old the first lead female singer to top the chart in five years and felt like a taste of how far the singer could take her brand of bilingual pop.

Fuse spoke to Reyes about her unique musical viewpoint, female representation in Latin music, when we're going to hear new songs (soon!) and more.
