The first single off the Chosen Few III:The Movie, Mi Alma Se Muere, might suprise some people. The hugely popular reggaeton compilations usually bring the banging-est dembow beats. But this time, they are hitting us with some merengue.

The song starts off with the quasi-operatic atmospherics of many reggaeton songs, and then goes into a merengue con mucho swing. The evolution of this genre is happening right before our eyes, and it is being captured by projects like The Chosen Few.

The singer, Fuego, flips it between a heartfelt rap about love lost and a merengue chorus that will stay in your mind for a bit. Have a taste of Mi Alma Se Muere and comment on it.
