Becky G breaks molds and embraces her maturity with the album Baraja Bendita
Renowned artist Becky G has begun a phase of greater creative and personal freedom following the release of her fifth studio album, titled Baraja Bendita. In a recent conversation, the singer reflected on the evolution of her career and the importance of reclaiming her autonomy in the face of the stigmas that still persist regarding female sexuality in Latin culture.
The performer openly questioned the labels that have historically been imposed on women, pointing out the double standard that exists when there is an attempt to censor the way a woman chooses to express herself, dress, or speak about her desires. For the artist, it is essential to break with those social expectations to allow her music to be an authentic reflection of her own identity.
Why is she a lady in the street and a freak in the bed; but oh, God forbid she talks about it? It’s like: I love Latina women, but we don’t want them to express themselves this way. We don’t want them to dress this way and they can’t talk this way.

A return to their roots with a renewed vision
Baraja Bendita marks a notable difference from their previous productions, such as Esquinas and Encuentros, albums that functioned as processes of healing and reflection. This new release integrates a fresh sound proposal that combines Latin rhythms, electronic elements, and house music. Furthermore, it highlights the return of an essential facet from their beginnings: rap.
- Sonic fusion: A mix of house, Latin rhythms, and rap.
- Creative control: The artist takes full command of her artistic decisions.
- Personal metaphor: The album title symbolizes the opportunities and decisions that have marked her career.
The singer confessed that, for years, she stepped away from rap due to the pressures of the music industry, which often prioritizes the commercial over authenticity. However, today she prioritizes her happiness and her vision as the true “boss” of her professional project.
The union between Becky G and Rebbeca
Beyond the music, the artist delved into the relationship between her public persona and her birth name, Rebbeca. After a two-decade career, having started working at the age of 9, Becky G asserts that both identities are inseparable and have complemented each other throughout her growth.
Rebbeca really needed Becky G when she was a little girl. I became the person I needed most and, in a sense, Becky G saved Rebbeca.
