Bad Gyal frames her journey as a celebration of Caribbean roots, calling merengue, compas from Haiti, and zouk from Martinique her core influences. She's positioning 'Más Cara' as an album deeply connected to her heritage while highlighting her rise from underground artist to global star.
The fangirl moment with Rihanna was VERY real — Bad Gyal admitted she didn't even talk to her, just watched from the next table and felt 'so fulfilled.' The emotional Jadiel remix story suggests there's personal depth to this album beyond the bops. Her 'sisterhood' with Tokischa also signals she's building power in thereggaeton feminine wave.
Bad Gyal recorded 'Más Cara' at Luny Tunes' studio in Puerto Rico with Chencho. She created almost all the album in Miami, frequently visiting Cote restaurant post-studio sessions. She met Bad Bunny at his 'La Casita' event — an experience she called unforgettable.
Bad Gyal's 'Más Cara' is shaping up to be her most personal project yet — rooted in Caribbean culture, powered by real connections, and yes, she's still that girl who knees and bows down to Rihanna.
Bad Gyal just gave us the full tour of her creative world, and honestly? It's giving everything. The Spanish singer sat down at Cote Miami — one of her favorite spots that she basically lived at while making her new album 'Más Cara' — and opened up about what might be her most personal project yet.
But the real tea? Her fangirl moment with Rihanna. Bad Gyal admitted she recently saw the queen in person for the first time and was absolutely spiraling. "I didn't talk to her or anything, I had her at the table next to me and I was the whole time like… Looking at her, just watching her. I felt so fulfilled," she shared. That's the kind of authentic celebrity worship we love to see. She also shouted out her Caribbean influences, saying "I kneel and bow down to you" to the broader Caribbean music world — merengue, compas from Haiti, zouk from Martinique. This woman UNDERSTANDS her roots.
The album itself was crafted across Puerto Rico and Miami. She recorded with Chencho at the legendary Luny Tunes' studio in Puerto Rico, and she's got an emotional Jadiel remix story that'll probably make us cry when the full context drops. Plus, she reflected on meeting Bad Bunny at his 'La Casita' event — calling it an unforgettable experience. That's the kind of co-sign that shifts careers.
Beyond the music, her sisterhood with Tokischa signals something bigger happening in reggaeton — women lifting women in a genre that's finally paying attention. From underground to global star, Bad Gyal is keeping it real while leveling up.
