Enrique Iglesias & Yotuel, “Fría” (Sony Music Latin)

After delving into bachata with the sweet, soulful “Así es la vida” featuring María Becerra, Iglesias returns to the party with “Fría,” the second single from his upcoming Final, Vol. 2. Here, he pairs up with Yotuel for the first time on a catchy, mid-tempo calypso that celebrates carnival in its colorful video. “Fría” taps into the lighter side of both Yotuel and Iglesias. It's light and airy and unpretentious, built on the play of words around “fría” (used here as “cold one” as in cold brew) and “confía” (trust), in three-repeat intervals for maximum catchiness. This charm is sure to inspire signature dance moves and more than a few sing-alongs. — LEILA COBO
