When Ozuna and Beéle team up, sparks aren’t enough — they build a fire.
Their new single, “Enemigos,” featuring the ever-visionary Ovy on the Drums, lands like the first heartbeat of their joint project STENDHAL, out December 5. It’s more than a song; it’s a cinematic pulse — sensual, rhythmic, and unapologetically emotional.
“Enemigos” opens with the slow burn of temptation. Two lovers, trapped in commitments that no longer fit, orbit each other in secret, their voices tracing the fault line between duty and desire. It’s not about betrayal; it’s about gravity — that pull toward someone you shouldn’t want but can’t forget. The track unfolds like confession and rhythm at once, oscillating between restraint and abandon.
Musically, it’s a lush hybrid: urban beats meet afrobeats under Ovy’s signature precision. The percussion ripples with warmth, the synths shimmer with nostalgia, and both singers navigate the groove like two halves of the same tension. Ozuna’s polished intensity collides with Beéle’s smooth, soulful tone — a contrast that feels chemical, magnetic, necessary. Together, they construct an atmosphere both intimate and global.
At the heart of “Enemigos” lies a brilliant twist — an interpolation of “Los Infieles,” the 2006 bachata classic by Aventura and Romeo Santos. It’s not a sample for nostalgia’s sake; it’s a reimagining. By weaving that melody into an afrobeats structure, the trio resurrects one of Latin music’s defining heartbreak anthems and dresses it in the rhythm of the future. It’s the perfect balance between homage and innovation.
The track’s emotional gravity is matched by its sonic polish. Ovy on the Drums’ production stretches like silk — tight, fluid, full of small percussive details that reveal themselves on repeat listens. It’s the sound of three artists who understand that global music in 2025 isn’t about genre — it’s about fusion, energy, and emotional truth.
Ozuna calls the song “a story that comes straight from the heart.” You can hear it — that balance of melancholy and heat that has always defined his best work. Beéle describes it as “a track that the soul can feel,” and that’s precisely its gift: emotion delivered through rhythm. Ovy summarizes it best: “We wanted to create something fresh — rooted, but universal.” Mission accomplished.
But “Enemigos” is also a statement of intent for what’s to come. Their collaborative album STENDHAL promises to expand on this sound — a dialogue between afrobeats sensuality, Caribbean cadence and urban romanticism. It’s the evolution of Latin pop: less predictable, more atmospheric, more alive.
What makes “Enemigos” powerful isn’t just its production or its hooks — it’s its humanity. Behind every beat, there’s longing. Behind every harmony, tension. It captures the modern paradox: global rhythms for personal heartbreak. The result is music that feels both intimate and borderless — a confession made for the dance floor.
With STENDHAL on the horizon, “Enemigos” plants the flag: love and rhythm still rule, but the rules have changed.
