From IslandBoyz ‘s Myke Towers comes an album that aims to build a world rather than fit into an existing box. Fusing reggaeton, dancehall, dembow, Latin R&B and African beats, the 23-track project reaffirms a global urban sound and offers a deep insight into an artist in the midst of a radical reinvention.
Island Boyz is characterised by a broad perspective and a risk-taking approach, centered on Myke Towers’ Puerto Rican roots and his roots as a creative from the Caribbean. The project remains consistent while fusing great influences, fromthe introspective world of ” Expectativas ” to the powerful radio-centric figure that launched ” Soleao ” with Quevedo , to the current number one Latin music on Spanish radio stations,such as Omah Lay or ” No Hay Break ” with Gabito Ballesteros on ” NoQuiere Flores “.
” Tengo Celos ” from Island Boyz is expected to be one of the biggest radio hits in the coming months as the album’s single.
Speaking about the behind-the-scenes production of the album, Myke Towers said , ” I wanted to represent not only the sounds of home, but also who I am today. Island Boyz is the most real record I’ve ever made .”
Collaborators include Quevedo , De La Ghetto , Gabito Ballesteros , ManuelTurizo , OmahLay , Ludmilla , DFZM , and iZaak , and the result is an artistic chemistry that amplifies the album’s vision rather than being confined to a method or formula.
With IslandBoyz , Myke isn’t chasing quick hits, but instead pursuing persistence, authenticity and sonic depth. The production, storytelling and intent of each track make this a powerful album that represents a turning point in his artistic career.
