Background and release

[edit]

After the music of both artists was the topic of conversation in several of the morning conferences of the President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador who recommended and broadcast live songs like "No Se Va", "Frágil" and "Un x100to" by Grupo Frontera,[5] and that on the other hand he was against the music of Peso Pluma and the corridos tumbados since this "encourages the consumption of drugs and violence",[6] and that the subject was not discussed in the media, the song was launched in a surprise way, which, contrary to the president's opinion, does not speak of violence and excesses as a form of protest.[7][8][9][10]

The release occurred after announcing on social networks on June 29, 2023,[11] at the same time of the release of the deluxe version of the Génesis.[12][13]

Reception

Comments from critics and media

[edit]

The release generated generally positive reviews from digital and print media, highlighting the singer's new sound, leaving aside the war themes and the sound from Sierra.[14] The site Cultura Colectiva he named it "the song of the summer" since "it spreads the romance of the lyrics and even makes you want to dance, on the beach and the waves of the sea."[9] Rolling Stone magazine wrote that the song was: "a perfect summer anthem that combines the iconic sounds of each of the acts with upbeat melodies that serenade a love interest...".[15] The Mexican newspaper La Razón assured that the song would be the new world hit for both artists.[16] The portal 24 Horas Chiapas mentioned "("Tulum") has summer overtones, which makes it very ad hoc for the season.[17] The site Sopitas published: "this song comes more with a romantic northern cumbia vibe for those who find themselves in love dilemmas".[18] The newspaper El Heraldo de Chihuahua through El Sol de Parral said: "(«Tulum») addresses a theme of love, which together with the characteristic rhythm of the group, added to the peculiar voice of Peso Pluma, make it a real gem".[19] The portal MSN published: "this song breaks a bit with the themes that «Double P» (Nickname of Peso Pluma) uses in its lyrics, since it leaves aside drug culture, to talk about love".[20] The radio group Los 40 expressed: "(in the song) you can hear that the styles of both artists are respected, thus leaving a romantic essence and a very catchy rhythm to listen to".[21]
