With Dosis, Xavi stretches his sound in new directions without letting go of the emotional core that got him here. On his second studio album, the Mexican-American singer-songwriter moves between música mexicana, bachata, pop and other urbano flourishes with an ease that reflects both his creative curiosity and his bicultural identity. The result is a 19-track set that feels broader in scope, while still rooted in the romantic tumbado style that has connected him with a new generation of listeners.
“We tried to add a little bit of everything, so it wouldn’t always sound the same and so we could experiment with different genres,” Xavi tells Billboard Español. “It has the classic corridos sound from us that can’t be missing, and also a little bit of pop, urbano and things like that that I feel can’t be missing from an album.”
That drive is felt throughout the record. It’s in the title track, which turns an on-and-off relationship into a metaphor for emotional addiction; in “Find Us Again,” his first fully English-language song, where he explores a different vocal and emotional texture; and in “En Privado,” a bachata with Manuel Turizo that taps into one of the sounds he grew up hearing at home. Even when he shifts rhythm or language, Xavi keeps the heart of his music intact: songs about heartbreak, desire and memory sung from an open wound.
Born in Phoenix, Xavi arrives at Dosis after a run of hits that has made him one of the most visible voices of his generation, with songs like “La Diabla” and “La Víctima” now boasting more than 1.8 billion Spotify streams combined; the former also reached No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs.
The album also brings together some of the hottest names of the moment. Across the tracklist are collaborations with Gabito Ballesteros on “Cartier,” Luis R Conriquez on “Buenota,” Neton Vega on “Hija de Papi,” Carín León on “La Morrita,” Grupo Frontera on “No Capea,” Kapo on “Bien Pedos,” Fuerza Regida on “SRT,” and more. More than just a lineup of star features, those collaborations help push the album into different modes — from melancholy to party-starting, from regional to tropical.
Xavi is also gearing up to perform on May 29 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. as part of MexTour Live. Below, he breaks down five essential songs from his new album, Dosis, in his words. To listen to the full project, click here.
