Tainy and Feid are back with an on-theme spooky collaboration. On Oct. 23, the Puerto Rican hit producer teamed up with the Colombian star on his new song “MONSTRUO,” an experimental reggaeton song that takes Feid’s music and overall brand in a new direction. This also seemingly marks Tainy’s first new single from his upcoming sophomore album.
“MONSTRUO @feid DIRECTED BY @stillz STYLING @chloeandchenelle,” Tainy announced online to his followers.
Tainy is known for pushing his electronic and reggaeton music to new heights. In his new collaboration with Feid, he uses violin and piano chords to add a sentimental and eerie element to his reggaeton soundscape. “MONSTRUO” samples the French track “La Chanson D’Hélène” by Philippe Sarde, giving the song an extra creative and emotional flair. With this collaboration, the Colombian artist also pushes his music and creative direction towards experimental realms, which we are excited to see more of. The cherry on top? The vocalizing outro that sounds like Latin Mafia, who showed support and reposted the song on their social media. Fans are theorizing that Latin Mafia will be part of the following track after “MONSTRUO” on Tainy’s album.
The music video, directed by Stillz, is a black and white cinematic film featuring a 1920s orchestra and a Frankenstein-inspired narrative. It echoes the gothic and cryptic aesthetics of Bad Bunny’s “BATICANO” thanks to the same director’s creative mind. Eagle-eyed social media users are wondering if “BATICANO” will be part of Tainy’s new album, which isn’t too far-fetched since he produced the 2023 song along with MAG and La Paciencia. Can we expect a horror and gothic-themed album by Tainy?
Social media users are praising the new track. An X user wrote, “Yall this Feid and Tainy is PEAK.” Other social media users are into Feid’s evolving sound: “Thanks, Tainy, you made Feid’s songs finally stop sounding the same.”
