In this post I am going to give my opinion about "DATA" the new album by the Puerto Rican producer Tainy. To get more into context, Tainy was one of the pioneers of Puerto Rican reggaeton collaborating with Luny Tunes, highlighting well-known songs such as: Alocate, by Zion Burial Night, by Daddy Yankee and others, and many others. In this album Tainy experiments with new sounds and also returns to the usual reggaeton rhythm although in his own style, with many artists participating in this album, such as Bad Bunny, Jhayco, Mora, Zion, Arcangel, Myke Towers, among others.
1st song: Obstaculo, by Myke Towers. 7/10
In this song, Tainy and Myke towers make a great duo to introduce Data, with a calm song with calm lyrics and an overcoming style, with some exotic sounds and very comfortable to listen to, although this song is not my style, I like it and that's why I give it a 7 out of 10.

2nd song: PA SIEMPRE by Tainy, Arcangel, Jhayco, Myke Towers, Omar Courtz, Arca. 7.5/10
Beginning to introduce more moving and strong rhythms, Tainy composes a great trap instrumental on which several artists rap. This song is fast, with a strong rhythm and with a surprise artist, Bad Bunny. I like this song but some of the artists I feel don't fit well with the type of rhythm, besides, the song is very long to listen to. That's why I give it a 7.5/10.

3rd song: Todavía by Tainy, Wisin & Yandel. 8.5/10
The first reggaeton song in the album, and Wisin & Yandel make an excellent duo to introduce this rhythm. A fast-paced reggaeton and with the style that the two of them always handled, rapping a lot and with melodic parts and experimental sounds in the chorus and around the entire song. I love this song.

4th song: FANTASMA AVC by Tainy, Jhayco. 10/10
Very experimental song, very comfortable to listen to and with a change of instrumental after the middle of the song. Jhayco does an excellent performance on top of these slow reggaeton instrumentals that Tainy presents to us. Just an amazing song.
5th song: MOJABI GHOST by Tainy, Bad Bunny 9/10 As Bad Bunny has accustomed us, a great song. And with Tainy in the production it was impossible for it to fail, a somewhat slow song rhythmically, but with a lot of melody and a great Bad Bunny voice over the instrumental. Very good song.
6th song: 11 Y ONCE by Tainy, Sech, E.VAX 7.5/10
A very new rhythm for me, so I don't feel very comfortable listening to it, although Sech does a great performance on the production made by Tainy and E.VAX, great lyrics and good rhythm, although it's not for me.
7th song: desde las 10 (KANY'S INTERLUDE) by, Tainy, Kany Garcia 6/10
As its name implies, it is an interlude. With the voice of Kany Garcia and the relaxed instrumental that Tainy provides, she gives a very very relaxed song with nostalgic or even sad touches. Nice writing.
8th song: Mañana by Tainy, Young Miko, The Marías 6.5/10 A song with 2 parts like FANTASMA AVC, but this time the first part is very calm and with songs by The Marías with resemblance to songs of angels even. Young Miko as always performing a very good performance based on reggaeton that is presented in the 2nd part of the song.
9th song: BUENOS AIRES by Tainy, Mora, Zion 9.5/10
A short accelerated reggaeton song, with incredible performances by Mora and Zion, very good lyrics that refer to the capital city of my country. The only bad thing is that it ends very quickly. Awesome song.
10th song: LA BABY by Tainy, Daddy Yankee, Feid, Sech 9/10 A song that repeats the chorus a lot and with a short performance by each of its artists, it could be said that it is divided into 3 blocks and each one belongs to an artist. In my opinion, Feid's part is the best and the catchiest. I feel that Daddy Yankee, although he did a good performance, is superfluous in this song. Sech does very well.
11th song: me jodi... by Tainy, Arcangel 6.5/10
A slightly hectic song with a good performance by Arcangel, although I think the song is good on the part of both of them, Arcangel's voice doesn't seem comfortable to my ear and I can't get me to like it, even so, good song.
12th song: VOLVER by Tainy, Skrillex, Four tet, Rauw Alejandro 9/10
A great song with several experimental and accelerated sounds, like the reggaeton that predominates in the song or the typical sounds that Skrillex has us used to, which in this case is presented at the end of the song. A very catchy chorus.
13th song: EN VISTO by Tainy, Ozuna 8/10
A nostalgic reggaeton song, with lyrics that talk a lot about missing and overcoming referring to a woman, great chorus and performance by Ozuna, I like this song.
14th song: Lo Siento BB:/ by Tainy, Bad Bunny, Julieta Venegas 10/10
Another song divided into 2 blocks, in this case the first one is by Julieta Venegas that begins with almost acapella songs, and very catchy. Then with a reggaeton rhythm Bad Bunny returns to perform an incredible song. This song came out 2 years before the album and was released as a hint of what was to come.
15th song: si preguntas por mi by Tainy, Kris Floyd, Judeline 8.5/10
Although it sounds ironic, another song divided into 2 blocks. Very well executed everything, Kris Floyd breaks a reggaeton rhythm in the first part of the song where you can tell that he feels very comfortable. Then, in a more relaxed instrumental and with more personal lyrics, it unfolds very well too, with a great closing from Judeline and her beautiful voice.
16th song: Sci-Fi by Tainy, Rauw Alejandro 9.1/10 With a very comfortable sound and effects that Tainy got us used to on this album, Rauw breaks with this rhythm that is very disco and with excellent lyrics. Very good song.
17th song:CORLEONE INTERLUDE by Tainy, Chencho Corleone 6/10
The 2nd and last interlude, a very slow reggaeton where Chencho Corleone with his particular voice breaks the rhythm and demonstrates how to make a great interlude.
18th song:PARANORMAL by Tainy, Alvaro Diaz 10/10
Another song divided into 2 blocks and that I consider perfect. Great lyrics by Alvaro Díaz and some very experimental sounds, a very very catchy chorus and a voice that sounds very comfortable on the 2 instrumentals presented by the great Tainy.
19th song: SACRIFICIO by Tainy, Xantos 7/10
A song to close the album, with a slow instrumental and improvement or progress, Xantos's voice stands out a lot and with great lyrics that can be felt when listening to it. Great closing to a great album.
I give this album a grade of 9/10. An album with very experimental sounds and excellent productions, apart from some incredible artists standing out in incredible songs. Perfect job by Tainy.
