His Return "With _Sunshine_, I want to connect with my audience in a different way, showcasing an evolution not only in my music but also in my story," the reggaeton singer said
Nicky Jam has released his first project since facing stark backlash for his (withdrawn) endorsement of Donald Trump. On Friday, the reggaeton artist dropped the eight-track EP, _Sunshine_,
including collaborations with Geo and 4Rain. “This album is incredibly special to me because it represents a new stage in my artistic and personal life,” Jam said in a press release. “With
_Sunshine_, I want to connect with my audience in a different way, showcasing an evolution not only in my music but also in my story.” Jam worked on the EP with Jorge “Milliano” Erazo and
Alejandro Patiño. The singer opts for strict perreo on “Dile a Él,” dabbles with funk on “Mine,” and sings over corrido-ish strums before a reggaeton beat on “Moncler.” _Sunshine_ marks his
first release under Virgin Music Group, which Jam lauded for giving him “the creative freedom I needed to take my vision to the next level.” TRENDING STORIES The new EP comes days after he
spoke to _Billboard_ about Trump misgendering him and saying “she’s hot” during a campaign in Las Vegas. In the interview, the musician said the incident happened after Nicky and his wife
met Trump backstage. “It’s flattering to have the president tell my wife that she’s hot,” he told the outlet. “But when I met him, in his mind _she_ was Nicky Jam… What does he know about
Nicky Jam? He doesn’t listen to reggaetón.” (Jam later walked back his endorsement after a Trump comedian called Puerto Rico a “pile of garbage.”) _Sunshine _follows 2024’s _Insomnio_, which
featured “Cansándote” with Sean Paul, “Chicokis” Ryan Castro, and “69” with Feid.
