It was a more collaborative effort, because, at the end of the day, that\u2019s what music is all about: teamwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn the seven-track EP, the Colombian artist teamed up with his longtime producers Jowan, Rolo, Wain and Sky Rompiendo; the creative approach, however, was different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThis was the first time I actually sat down, took a deep breath, and focused on working on something,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe last time I found myself sitting still\u2014albeit under duress\u2014was after my accident [in 2021], and I was in recovery working on \u2018Feliz Cumplea\u00f1os Ferxxo.\u2019 But this time, I wanted the year to be one of deep reflection: to understand the pulse of the market, to see what is needed from me, to figure out what I wanted to do with the future of my career, and to determine the direction in which I wanted to head.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThat reflection and observation is what he precisely delivers on <em>FEID VS.

Or is it a Ferxxo track?\u2019 I realized how much I enjoy reading and understanding exactly what my audience wants whenever I\u2019m about to release new music,\u201d he notes. \u201cThis time around, I sensed that they were longing for something that, perhaps, they no longer felt was present in my newer songs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn the EP, Feid is represented through chill reggae tunes (\u201cQue Vuelta Vos\u201d) and romantic boleros (\u201cBoleritox\u201d), whereas Ferxxo sounds on progressive Afrohouse beats (\u201cLa Mejor M\u00fasica\u201d) and hard-hitting perreos (\u201cTrancaito\u201d). The previously-released \u201cSe Lo Juro Mor,\u201d which became the artist\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/feid-latin-airplay-chart-12th-number-1-se-lo-juro-mor-1236140867\/\">12th No. 1 <\/a>on the <em>Billboard<\/em> Latin Airplay chart last December, perfectly combines both worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI feel that writing is always about offering an opinion on a situation\u2014how I would react in the face of heartbreak, or when missing someone, or when saying, \u2018I killed it; things are going really well for me,\u2019\u201d he elaborates. \u201cI feel that the two personas have very different personalities. It\u2019s through the songwriting process that I\u2019m able to determine whether a track leans more toward Feid or Ferxxo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>FEID VS.
