It’s a lesson Bad Bunny has taken to heart, or more likely, come to on his own, on “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” the solo album the singer-rapper released Sunday with little of the protracted fanfare that accompanies most major albums.

Bad Bunny has released his sixth album, an opus on his beloved Puerto Rico. On “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which translates to “I should have taken more photos,” Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio pulls from the island’s rich musical history and hybridizes it.

Bad Bunny released his sixth studio album "Debí Tirar Màs Fotos," which celebrates Puerto Rico and its history.

The rapper and singer celebrates his homeland on a new album, offering an adventurous survey of the island’s musical styles.

Bad Bunny will kickoff the new year with a new album, the Grammy-winning singer confirmed Thursday with a video trailer. Dubbed “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should’ve Taken More Photos”) the 17-song set will be out on Jan. 5, 2025.

We last heard from Bad Bunny on his 2023 album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Well, here’s some good, unexpected news: Benito has a new album coming out very soon, as today (December 26), he announced Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which is set for release on January 5. He also shared a new song, “Pitorro De Coco,” as well.

Released Jan. 5, the record pays homage to the island’s rich rhythms like plena and salsa, and delves into it’s seldom taught history.
