Colores (English: Colors) is the fifth solo studio album by Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin, released on 19 March 2020 through Universal Latin.[6] The album was produced by Sky Rompiendo.[7] It was preceded by the singles "Blanco", "Morado" and "Rojo", with the latter being released the same day as the album pre-order. Each song on the album will receive a music video directed by Colin Tilley.[8] "Amarillo" was released as the fourth single off Colores the same day as the album's release.[9][10]

Background

The album's central concept is colors, with each track named after a color (except "Arcoiris", the Spanish term for rainbow).[8] Balvin collaborated with the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami for the music videos and album and single artworks, which notably feature Murakami's flowers, as well as American clothing brand Guess on a capsule collection inspired by the album.[11]

The album was announced at the end of January 2020.[12]
