In our Latin Remix of the Week series, we spotlight remixes that the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors deem to be exceptional and distinct from the rest. We might not publish a review every week. This is our selection today.
Maintaining its sultry nylon guitar-laden groove and hip-hop beat with a hint of reggaetón, the remix of “Rewind” by Blxst featuring Feid now welcomes Becky G. Her sultry and occasionally hushed, hazy tones blend seamlessly with Feid’s dynamic flow and Blxst’s R&B-infused style.
“I was totally obsessed with this song when it first came out,” Becky G tells Billboard Español. “So being part of the remix is super exciting! Working with Blxst in the studio was such a great experience, and shout out to Feid.”
Blxst first teased the collaboration last week on TikTok and Instagram, captivating fans with a preview video featuring both Becky G and the L.A. rapper, captioning the post, “Black & Brown make the world go round @iambeckyg 🤎🖤.”
This remix is a standout track from Blxst’s debut album, I’ll Always Come Find You, out on Red Bull Records. Spanning four discs and 20 tracks, the album explores a mix of trap, R&B and Afrobeats-tinged rhythms, featuring collaborations with notable artists such as Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson .Paak, Offset, 2 Chainz, Amanda Reifer and more.
Becky G is no stranger to crossing musical boundaries. From her early days as a rapper in Inglewood, Calif., she has seamlessly transitioned into música urbana and embraced música mexicana, as highlighted by her collaborations with Banda MS and Snoop Dogg, for example, and her latest 2023 album, Esquinas.
The original version of “Rewind” released in March spotlighted Colombian star Feid and marked Blxst’s inaugural bilingual collaboration, as well as the rapper’s entry into the Latin music scene. The track is a perfect fusion of his smooth Cali vibes and Feid’s distinctive paisa delivery.
