Vice Versa (Rauw Alejandro album)
Vice Versa is the second studio album by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. It was released on June 25, 2021, by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment. Two weeks after finalizing his debut studio album, Afrodisíaco (2020), Alejandro started recording his sophomore album, going experimental on it and having a departure from his signature music styles. He worked with several producers, including Tainy, Caleb Calloway, and Mr. Naisgai to create the album. Musically, Vice Versa consists of electropop and house tracks, reggaeton songs, Latin pop numbers, bolero lines, and Brazilian funk rhythms. After the album's release, Alejandro embarked on the Rauw Alejandro World Tour and the Vice Versa Tour in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
