Earlier this year, we explored the lush, international success of Orquídeas, Kali Uchis’s first foray into a fully Spanish-language album. The record, a beautiful fusion of dreamy atmospheres and Latin influences, quickly became a landmark in her discography. Now, Uchis returns to this fertile ground with a second installment, offering three new tracks and a remaster that extend the delicate, intoxicating allure of the original release.

The new tracks continue to weave the same tapestry of sound that made Orquídeas such a captivating listen. Kali’s voice, as sweet as ever, floats above the mix, entwining itself with layers of pop sensibility and rich Latin influences. Yet, this time, the nods to Latin America grow even more pronounced, with a particular focus on Mexico—a region whose musical heritage Uchis explores with both reverence and innovation.

“Como Debe Ser” stands out as the most striking of the new offerings. It’s a song that feels like a love letter to Mexico, blending rock, bolero, and mariachi into a seamless, genre-defying experience. The track is both nostalgic and fresh, echoing traditional sounds while pushing the boundaries of what Latin music can be in a modern pop context. The Mexican flavor is undeniable, yet it’s delivered with a unique twist that only Uchis can provide—her signature dreamy atmospheres making the familiar feel new.

In addition to these new tracks, Uchis continues the Orquídeas tradition of high-profile collaborations. This time, she teams up with Kaytranada, a partnership that once again underscores her ability to bring together diverse talents and sounds in a way that feels both organic and exhilarating.

The remastered track from the first installment of Orquídeas also deserves mention. It’s not just a simple tweak but a reimagining that breathes new life into the song, showing Uchis’s commitment to evolving her art even when revisiting past material.

With this second installment of Orquídeas, Kali Uchis reaffirms her position as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary music. She continues to bridge cultures and genres, creating a sound that is as much about her Latin roots as it is about her forward-looking artistry. For fans of Orquídeas, this new release is a welcome continuation; for newcomers, it’s a perfect entry point into the lush, evocative world of Kali Uchis.
