Wikipedia article




"'Brillo'" is a song by Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin in collaboration with Spanish new flamenco singer Rosala. Released on May 25, 2018 through Sony Music Latin, It is the seventh track on Balvin's fifth studio album 'Vibras' (2018). It is written by Alejandro Ramrez, Jess Mara Nieves, Marco Masis and both performers.

Critical reception



'Rolling Stone' named "Brillo" an "abstract flamenco duet" while 'The Guardian' had to say that "it is an undeniably sensual track where the delicate and versatile vocals of Spanish flamenco singer Rosala shine over a minimal background". 'Remezcla''s Sara Skolnick stated "Brillo is a hypnotizing track anchored by Barcelona-based vocalist Rosala, whose mission torevolutionize flamenco is articulated once again through intuitive hand claps and vocal takes that lend an airy precision in conversation with Balvin's". It was called a "potential summer hit" by 'Vogue Magazine'.

Commercial performance



After being posted on YouTube for 72 hours, the song was streamed over 170,000 times, becoming a moderate hit for Balvin. However, the track gained special recognition in Spain after Rosala became massively successful in the country following the release of her track "Malamente" in May 2018, the lead single of her Latin Grammy Award-winning album 'El Mal Querer'. It is one of the Barcelonian's most demanded songs while performing and on streaming platforms. The track, as of June 2020, has over 80 million streams on Spotify. "Brillo" became a top-20 hit in Spain and was certified platinum there for selling over 40,000 copies.

Live performances



Balvin has sung the track live on his 2018 Vibras Tour and Rosala on her El Mal Querer Tour in 2019. They have sung the track together at The Forum in Inglewood in September 2018 as well as during the Primavera Sound music festival in Barcelona in June 2019, which they both headlined.
