Abstract

Then Bieber hopped on the remix and the most popular mostlyin- Spanish song ever was born. IN THE EARLY 2010s, as R&B artists chased the hip-hop and EDM zeitgeist, this California upstart showed up out of nowhere sounding like a singer from another era; Miguel exuded the style and grace of a Motown romantic on his plush debut slow jam, a song that felt sweetly old-school right down to its anachronistic-sounding title. Considering the song's almost scientifically pop precision, it's no surprise its recording involved reworking the song "four or five" times to nail "that euphoric feeling of having a teenage love, all over again". WHERE WE HEARD IT Early in the decade, singers inexplicably started yelling "Wa-oh-wa-oh" in their songs - Katy Perry on "California Gurls", Kesha on "Tik Tok", Frank Ocean on "Ivy.".
