Xavi releases his newest single “El Malo,” his first solo release of the year following a streak of successful collaborations. The song is a powerful reflection on the emotional fallout of a failed relationship and being cast as the villain.
Built on acoustic guitars, “El Malo” brings the lyrics forward, capturing the emotional tension of heartbreak and the double standard of being seen as “the bad guy.”
The track follows the viral success of “Mírame Feliz,” his collaboration with Belinda, which recently hit #1 on both the General and Pop radio charts in Mexico, and “En Privado” with Manuel Turizo, which has surpassed 191 million global streams, spent seven consecutive weeks on the Spotify Mexico chart, and peaked at #94 on Spotify’s Global chart.
