bold and free of inhibition, This new anthem is for all women who do not say sorry for their actions.
"Me Gusta" featuring the inimitable Afro B has managed to be infectiously catchy without falling into pop mediocrity. The mixture of reggaeton, afrobeats, and some dancehall elements nods to singer Lao Ra's Latin roots whilst demonstrating her penchant for world fusion. Unapologetic and attitude riddled, "Me Gusta" sets a precedent but, can Lao Ra deliver again?
