Myke Towers explores his flow on ‘La Vida Es Una’

• Myke Towers explores his flow on ‘La Vida Es Una’.
• He can’t wait for his fans to hear it.
• He displays his melodic variety on the new album.

“La Vida Es Una,” or “Life Is One,” is Myke Towers’ third studio album, and he can’t wait for his fans to hear it. Although a large portion of the 23-song collection had already been finished not long after his previous studio album.

Towers purposely delayed the release of his major-label debut in 2021, “Lyke Mike,” in order to create a feeling of postponed gratification that, in his words, has been excruciatingly hard to sustain.

“I know my fans are ready for original solo music but I wanted this to be a record that people could take their time with, really listen to and appreciate,” Towers tells Variety. “I think people had gotten used to my way of rapid releases. … It was like every week, there would be a new song or collaboration – and I wanted there to be a palpable difference between this record and ‘Lyke Mike.’”

Towers deliberately chose rap and trap flavors for “Lyke Mike” in order to distance himself from the commercial success of his Latin pop collaborations, such as the Cardi B and Anitta-assisted “Me Gusta” and Selena Gomez’s “Dámelo To,” a track from her Spanish-language EP “Revelación.” Towers stepped away from the reggaeton and urban styles that helped launch a successful career in the U.S.

He displays his melodic variety on the new album, a succession of upbeat songs with guest appearances from Daddy Yankee, Ozuna, J Balvin, Arcángel, and Argentinian singer Chita. He pays respect to his Caribbean heritage while also experimenting with new flavors. He also radiates a desire to rekindle his relationship with his audience, both on and off stage.

“I made [‘La Vida Es Una’] with the idea that I could play the songs live and people could really enjoy them. There are songs that pay homage to my Puerto Rican roots and others that are new territories for me,” he says. “But really, truly, my hope is that after releasing this record I can go on tour.”
