Shakira and Maluma release a new collaborative song, “AGUA,” returning to their shared musical partnership with a merengue track. Billboard describes the track as sensual and tropically influenced, while Consequence similarly frames it as a new merengue release from the Colombian stars.
The outlets also place the release in context of the artists’ earlier work together. Consequence notes they previously collaborated on songs including “Chantaje,” “Trap,” and “Clandestino.” The new single is positioned as their reunion after eight years, suggesting a break since their last joint project.
Across the coverage, the main focus is on the song’s genre and the artists’ renewed collaboration, with differing emphasis on tone and performance style. Billboard highlights the track’s “steamy” chemistry and “tropical heat,” while Consequence centers more on the reunion timeline and the duo’s prior hit collaborations. Both outlets encourage readers to stream the new single.
