His words highlight a woman’s strength and presence, from her stylish choices to her captivating spirit on the dance floor. This message, wrapped in Towers’ charismatic flow, resonates with fans across cultures and is a testament to the universal appeal of his music.
The music video for DEGENERE has also been a major hit, garnering over 14 million views on YouTube and amplifying the song’s reach. Its cinematic visuals capture the song’s vibrant spirit and the essence of Towers’ vision, blending the reggaeton aesthetic with pop-culture finesse. As the video continues to rack up views, it reinforces Towers’ position as a powerful force in Latin music.
Adding to his growing list of achievements, Towers will take the stage at the 25th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards in Miami, where his hits El Cielo and La Falda have earned him nominations. This prestigious appearance cements his role as a leader in the Latin urban genre, where his ability to mix classic sounds with fresh influences has redefined expectations.
