Martin4 drops electric jolt your playlist’s been craving with “Ritmo”

Martin4’s recent single, “Ritmo,” is the sort of playful international jam that Black Eyed Peas specializes in, and it’s enough to give you flashbacks to the last time they managed a hit like this. It has mass appeal, which is the type of thing that could light up clubs and festivals alike, but it also has a personality. “Ritmo” is the type of song that could worm its way into global playlists, dance charts, and countless social media clips. It is an anthem for today and wherever the rhythm takes us next.

“Ritmo,” a song about rhythm and energy, you had better come strong, and Martin4 does. This song is an adrenaline shot, pulsating with life and irresistible momentum. The beat here is contagious in the best way, combining slick production with a fluid flow that’s as organic as kinetic. A thumping undercurrent here, something primal and danceable, pulls you onto a dancefloor, into a car with the windows rolled down, or that extra lift in your mood on a Monday morning.

But “Ritmo” isn’t a banger for its own sake but a paean to motion, vibe, and getting loose. It’s one of those weird songs that feel like they’re clued into precisely what you require long before you do. Every drop and transition has been dialed in with precision yet delivered with a looseness that makes the energy impossible to ignore. If you want a hot new sound that keeps spirits up and bodies in motion, Martin4’s “Ritmo” is your subsequent fixation.
