Background

edit

Oasis was first teased during a J Balvin interview with Beats 1 radio host Ebro Darden and was first announced during an interview with Complex in September 2018. The album is meant to be deemed as a new and "refreshing" sound. In a press release, Bad Bunny called it "a transcendental and refreshing album; it is a rescue, a relief", while J Balvin said they both "always seem to be on the same wavelength, as he likes what I like."[8][9]
