reggaeton, and a Jonas Brothers collab. The Colombian singer’s third studio
album, Dharma, is a versatile record that’s sure to bring fans to their
feet.” – ROLLING STONE

“…Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastian Yatra positions third studio
album Dharma as a satisfying deep dive into his artistry and point of
view…. Across 17 tracks, Yatra takes chances with his brand of Latin pop,
from the emotional balladry of “Tarde” to the sun-kissed dance of “Tacones
Rojos” to the riotous pop-punk of “Las Dudas,” and comes across as a
natural star within all of them.” – BILLBOARD
