Album Review: JOSE by J Balvin

With the release of Balvin's fifth solo album, JOSE, he is on a mission to humbly recapture his seat on the throne -- and undeniably succeeds. Over the years, Balvin had developed a successful formula of blending international trends with his trademark reggaetón sound and encapsulating club hits and ballads into a neat conceptual package.
