J Balvin GUESS

J Balvin is Back at GUESS

The Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin joins Jennifer Lopez as the face of Guess‘ Spring 2020 campaign. Having previously starred in a campaign for the American brand, this time Balvin takes Guess to visit his home — Medellín, Colombia. The vibrant collection, dubbed “Colores” allowed for the artist to explore designing himself. Inspired by his upcoming album, bearing the same name, the featured pieces reflect the colorful streets and the energy of the city. For the campaign, Balvin took a two-day journey through his city, allowing fans to join him on the shoot with photographer Tatiana Gerusova.

 

The artist has always been outspoken about his pride in his home country. “It is another opportunity to show the world how beautiful and amazing Colombia is, and the surging artistic vibes throughout the city and country,” Balvin said in a release. Collaborating with Guess once again allows him to further extend his reach as both as an artist and designer on a global scale.

Madonna & Maluma Get Rowdy in New Video

It’s been a week since noted Queen of Pop Madonna released her newest single “Medellín,” the leading number ahead of her 14th studio album Madame X (out 6/14). The steamy Latin pop tune features Colombian artist Maluma and finds the pair singing about a romantic getaway to the South American city in what’s already a contender for song of the summer.

 

The accompanying video was released today exclusively on MTV — a real throwback to the days before the internet when people would post up in front of the TV to get the latest in pop culture. The video features several Madonna-isms, including Catholic imagery, vague monologues, and general debauchery — she even licks Maluma’s foot. All in all, it’s a fun and welcome return to form for the songstress and a promising indication of what’s to come — see for yourself below.
