Flex

The title track became a bona fide hit, surging up Rhythm and Latin pop charts and prompting the label to hastily release this 2008 debut album. And while we have to applaud anybody who cribs the reggaeton beat but discards the genre's sexual voraciousness in favor of (gasp) romance, it's unfortunate that this young gentlemen struggles so valiantly to stay in tune...and loses the battle so often. Still, it's hard not to admire Flex's sheer pluck and his whole-hearted embrace of romance and reggae simultaneously.
