Déjà Vu (CNCO album)

Cristina Jaleru of Associated Press stated that the work "weaves a love story in catchy modern rhythms more suitable for the dance floor".[5]

Mitchell Peters of Billboard indicated that "The quintet takes on tracks like Enrique Iglesias’ “Hero” and Sin Bandera’s “Entra En Mi Vida” with a mix of reverence and invention, honoring the originals while utilizing different harmonies to amplify their power".[6] Cristina Jaleru also states “Déjà Vu,” the third album from Latin American sensation CNCO, takes on the challenge of reimagining some of the greatest Spanish hits from the ’80s up to the early 2000s with aplomb and a little aid from that contemporary reggaeton bassline.[7]

Sara London of RIFF Magazine said that "The record is a contemplative, yet convivial call to the past; an extended shoutout to the members’ personal histories and cultures".[8]

Independent magazine stated “25 Horas” by Proyecto Uno goes from folky to contemporary while keeping its tribal instrumental edge. Chayanne’s “Dejaría Todo” turns from a typical ’90s guitar ballad to a livelier sound. Big Boy’s “Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti” goes from a simple keyboard with creole rap in the mix to a smoother, more romantic affair. And Ricardo Montaner’s absolute pop ballad “Tan Enamorados” finds its sensual side.[9]

According to American Songwriter magazine, prior to the unveiling of Déjà Vu’s track reimagining Enrique Iglesias’s 2001 hit, “Hero,” and its accompanying music video that channels the visual direction of the Backstreet Boys’ 1999 brooding hit, “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,” CNCO spoke with American Songwriter about what Latin artists of the past mean to them, how the mashup for “Hero” came about, where they hope Latin music goes in the year to come, and more.[10] Track listings adapted from Spotify.[11][12]
