.karolg bet on herself—and won. Now she graces the cover of Rolling Stone's September 2023 issue. In an extensive interview, the Colombian superstar talks about baring her soul, overcoming heartbreak, and prepping for 'bichota season' 🇨🇴 Story/Photos:
she gradually built a reputation as a fan favorite in the world of pop reggaeton. In 2019, Karol got a fresh boost with “Tusa,” her hit with Nicki Minaj, which has been streamed half a billion times in the U.S. alone. Karol was a household name across Latin America at that point, butkicked off a whole new chapter of success after it amassed a pile of historic accolades, including the unprecedentedthings for me and my future,” she says.
The two artists had known each other from Medellín, but they hadn’t really kept in touch. “There was a long time when we didn’t speak to each other, and I barely knew anything about him,” she says. But when Feid started to break out of their hometown and chart across Latin America, Karol invited him to open her 2021 Bichota Tour. They previously collaborated on a song called “Friki,” which became a hit in.
She developed an early connection with music, thanks in part to her dad. Juan Guillermo played in a band in his free time, performing all kinds of music — rock, salsa, ballads. She would sometimes sing with him at special events. Still, at school, she was shy, and often relied on her older sister to speak up for her. “That confidence was given to me at home.”She says she made it past the first three rounds of auditions, joining 10 other semifinalists after 50,000 people tried out.
Then a younger generation of producers and artists, including J Balvin, Maluma, Sky Rompiendo, and the Rude Boyz, started to remake the genre, giving it a high-gloss, synth-forward, radio-ready veneer — a reinvention that has become a flashpoint for critiques about reggaeton’s whitewashing and dilution into mediocre pop music.
He says that she’s interested in more than just making hits. Her vision is more holistic. “She’s a woman who has it figured out. She’s always thinking about innovating, about doing something different. Not just musically, but in her image,” he explains. “When we finish a song, she sees possibilities that you never saw.”
“So many good things come to us. I think it’s so crazy,” she says, her voice trembling. “Beyoncé, Shakira, Rihanna, Ricky Martin have been some of the artists [they’ve had here], and they tell you that you broke attendance records. It’s something you don’t believe; it feels like it’s a lie.”
