Bad Bunny‘s new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos is dedicated to “all the Puerto Ricans in the entire world.” On Friday, the reggaetón star unveiled the track list for his upcoming LP and an accompanying short film, highlighting the changing makeup of his native Puerto Rico.
The album artwork shows two empty plastic chairs in a muddy grass field in front of tropical trees and green bananas. And the track list, which features Rainao, Dei V, and Chuwi, was revealed on a second Instagram slide with the album’s dedication.
Several of the song titles seem to feature the phonetic Puerto Rican pronunciation of words in both English and Spanish: “Nuevayol,” which means New York, “KlouFrens,” which means “Close Friends,” and “Ketu TeCré,” which should be “Qué Tú Te Crees,” or “Who Do You Think You Are.” (See the full track list below.)
Earlier in the morning, Bad Bunny also debuted a special short film, which serves as a precursor to the album. The video showcases beloved filmmaker Jacobo Morales in a changed, gentrified Puerto Rico.
“There was something special here. I don’t know what it was, but it was an incredible magic. And there still is. I wish I had taken more photos to show you,” says Morales, sneaking in the album’s name in Spanish. “Photos are moments lived, memories of things that happened… I wanted to live in the moment, but remembering isn’t as easy when you reach this age.”
The short film hears Morales talking to his miniature frog friend, Concho, as he shows off one of his favorite photos. Morales then heads into town to the panadería, as he passes by families speaking in English and listening to music in English, before reaching the panadería, which has now been gentrified and has an English-speaking cashier and a cashless system.
“Can I pay you later?” asks Morales.
“I can’t prepare your order until I pay in full,” responds the worker before another patron pays for his order.
Morales returns to his home to share the meal with Concho before an old car passes by playing Bad Bunny’s music. “There hasn’t been a car passing by here playing music in so long,” Morales said.
The short film ends by zooming out of Morales’ home before a clip of another Bad Bunny track plays. The video highlights Morales’ disillusion and unlost hope about the island he loves.
