Éxodo

About

It certainly makes biblical sense that Peso Pluma’s <i>ÉXODO</i> would follow <i>GÉNESIS</i>. That 2023 album capped off a stunning run of singles and features from the música mexicana superstar. Arriving roughly one year after its best-selling predecessor, the two-part full-length maintains its overwhelming collaborative ethos with a dizzying array of features from Gabito Ballestero, Natanael Cano, and Óscar Maydon, to name but a few. After taking in these 24 songs spread over nearly 80 minute, fans should be forgiven for virtually rewinding back to choice cuts with such luminaries as Ivan Cornejo (“RELOJ”) and Luis R Conriquez (“SR. SMITH”). Even in this veritable sea of like-minded artists bobbing their way through contemporary corridos wave, some of <i>ÉXODO</i>’s finest moments come when Peso Pluma is essentially solo. The drifting quietude that completes the otherwise boisterous and aggressive “ICE” is something rarely found even among the sad sierreño set, while the plaintive piano sections that bookend “BRUCE WAYNE” lend a certain emotional magnitude to the song’s vampiric isolation metaphor. .
