Data Insight

Balvin and Bad Bunny write on all eight tracks, credited in the publishing catalog as José Álvaro Osorio Balvín and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. Past that pair the writing follows whoever is at the board. Sky Rompiendo writes on six of the eight and produces three of them; Tainy writes on five and produces three. "Odio" carries the longest credit on the record because it brings in the whole Hear This Music room, DJ Luian and the Semper brothers who work as Mambo Kingz, alongside Jhay Cortez. The shortest is "Mojaíta" at four names, and the fourth of those, Eladio Carrión, never sings on it. Guests write their own parts: Marciano Cantero takes a credit on "Un Peso", where the lyric answers a line from his own band's "Lamento Boliviano", and Mr Eazi, MUT4Y and El Guincho all write on "Como un Bebé".

Oasis is the eight-track album J Balvin and Bad Bunny made together, put out with no advance notice on 28 June 2019 after sessions that ran from 2017. Sky Rompiendo and Tainy handle most of the production, and the guest list stays short: Marciano Cantero of Enanitos Verdes sings on "Un Peso" and Nigerian singer Mr Eazi closes the record on "Como un Bebé". It entered the Billboard 200 at number nine and went to number one on both Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums on a first week of 36,000 units.

Who wrote the songs on Oasis?
Balvin and Bad Bunny are credited on all eight tracks, listed in the publishing catalog under their legal names, José Álvaro Osorio Balvín and Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. The producers write too: Sky Rompiendo (Alejandro Ramírez Suárez) has a credit on six songs and Tainy (Marco Efraín Masís Fernández) on five. Outside writers show up in ones and twos, among them Eladio Carrión on "Mojaíta", Jhay Cortez on "Cuidao por Ahí" and "Odio", and El Guincho on "Como un Bebé".
Who produced Oasis?
Sky Rompiendo produced "Mojaíta", "Qué Pretendes" and "Odio", the last of those with DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz. Tainy produced "Yo Le Llego" with Albert Hype, then "Cuidao por Ahí" and "Un Peso" on his own. Nicael Arroyo produced "La Canción" and the Nigerian duo Legendury Beatz produced "Como un Bebé".
Was Oasis a surprise release?
Yes. Balvin announced it on Twitter on 27 June 2019 for midnight that night, though the pair had been talking about the project publicly since a Complex interview in September 2018 and an earlier Beats 1 conversation with Ebro Darden.
How did Oasis do on the charts?
It came in at number nine on the Billboard 200 and number one on both Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums, with a first week of 36,000 units. It also reached number 17 in the Netherlands, 22 in Switzerland and 25 in Sweden.
Which songs from Oasis were singles?
"Qué Pretendes" came out with the album on 28 June 2019, followed by "La Canción" on 2 August, "Yo Le Llego" on 9 August and "Cuidao por Ahí" on 23 August. "La Canción" went to number one on Hot Latin Songs and "Qué Pretendes" to number two.
Who are the guests on Oasis?
Two. Marciano Cantero, the singer and bassist of Argentine band Enanitos Verdes, features on "Un Peso", and the liner notes credit him as "Marciano Cantero de Enanitos Verdes". Mr Eazi features on the closer, "Como un Bebé". Two more singers take additional vocal credits without a feature billing: Nesi on "Mojaíta" and "Cuidao por Ahí", Feid on "Qué Pretendes".
What is the connection between "Un Peso" and "Lamento Boliviano"?
The Balvin and Bad Bunny lyric "y tu corazón idiota siempre me extrañará" answers "y mi corazón idiota siempre brillará" from "Lamento Boliviano", the Enanitos Verdes song Marciano Cantero sang. Cantero also has a writing credit on "Un Peso" under his birth name, Horacio Eduardo Cantero Hernández.
Who engineered Oasis?
La Paciencia recorded all eight tracks, with Richi López joining him on "La Canción" and "Un Peso" and Sky Rompiendo on "La Canción". Elijah Merritt-Hitch worked as assistant mixing engineer across the record. López also plays the guitar on "Un Peso".
Is Oasis counted as a J Balvin album or a Bad Bunny album?
Both. It sits between Vibras and Colores in Balvin's run and between X 100pre and YHLQMDLG in Bad Bunny's, and neither is billed as the guest. Billboard placed it tenth on its 50 best albums of 2019 and Rolling Stone made it the second best Latin album of the year.
