"Mamacita" (stylized in all caps) is a song recorded by American group Black Eyed Peas and Puerto Rican singer Ozuna from the group's eighth studio album Translation. Filipina-American singer J. Rey Soul, who joined the group in 2018, is also credited as a lead artist. It was released as a single on April 10, 2020.[1]

Background and composition

[edit]

"Mamacita" marks the second release from the Black Eyed Peas since signing to their new label Epic Records, after "Ritmo (Bad Boys For Life)" with J Balvin.[3]

The song sampled Madonna's Latin pop song "La Isla Bonita" and was produced by group's member will.i.am and Johnny Goldstein.[4] Goldstein in an interview with Variety explained the decision of the song sounds and the use of Madonna's sample:[5]

In Reggaeton and in Arabic music, there are a few patterns that are the same: the tones and frequencies may be different, but the actual notes, on some of them, are the in the same spots on the scale. [...] We started that one because Will had this idea to use Madonna’s "La Isla Bonita" in a song. So, I started a beat with this progression, then he wrote the hook and his parts, and then we did some back and forth with the beat like we always do, which means just hours of Facetime in order to make the production minimal, but super unique. In fact, for the whole album, we tried to keep everything super minimalistic and unique, but this song in particular is a good example of that.

— Johnny Goldstein on "Mamacita"

Critics reception

[edit]

Billboard's writer Jason Lipshutz defined that the song "refuses to let you listen while sitting down" thaks to "an amalgamation of sounds and influences", associating it with "Taki Taki". Lipshutz also pointed out that Latin rhythms prove to be a "concrete formola" for the group's "revival".[6] A.D. Amorosi of Variety wrote that the semple of "La Isla Bonita" figured as "a master stroke of pop mimicry" with the featured artist "help turn the torrid track into something graceful and gritty".[7] Gary Suarez, reviewing the album for Rolling Stone, focused on the featured artist, writing that "ostensibly Fergie’s replacement, J. Rey Soul brings a higher caliber of vocal talent" and that she works as a "complementary presence alongside Ozuna on “Mamacita” in particular doing much needed damage control on behalf of a group so clearly out of its element".[8]
