BOJANGLES - PITBULL
Pitbull’s latest Lil Jon-generated club effort, “Bojangles” (the first from his upcoming sophomore album “El Mariel”), doesn’t stray much from previous singles “Toma” and “Shake.” But no matter, because buoyant basslines and heavy synths are in vogue (check DJ Khaled’s “Holla at Me” or Lil Jon’s “Snap Yo Fingers”). Like the latter cut, “Bojangles” relies more on call-outs and dance commands than lyrical finesse. But this type of song, with its energetic beat and reggaeton zest, is tailor-made for hip-hop and Latin formats. The cut is already gaining airplay on urban radio and steadily rising on Billboard’s Latin Rhythmic chart. Billboard
