One thing that stands out is the transitioning through bilingual verses and songs such as “Hasta Cuando” and “Como Te Quiery Yo”.
This album is exquisite because of the theme. The album is different from others because Kali finds different ways to adventures through love through her music. She ventures through the attachment and the loss people experience with love through mesmerizing melodies and beautiful lyrics.
The album’s first half progresses like the early stages of a relationship: endless, saccharine, all-consuming. Kali never seems to lose sight of reality throughout the endless dream.
