Today sees the release of Formula, Vol. 3, the final installment in the series of projects acclaimed for its treatment of bachata both reverent and progressive.

Romeo Santos Recruits Justin Timberlake, Rosalía, and Christian Nodal in ‘Formula Vol. 3’
Thania Garcia Romeo Santos is back with the highly-anticipated third installment of his “Formula” series, “Formula Vol. 3,” which comes today via Sony Latin. This time around, the set boasts collaborators like Rosalía, Christian Nodal, Santos’ own children and Justin Timberlake — who croons a few lines in Spanish for the ballad “Sin Fin.” Keeping with the tradition of the previous volumes (which featured George Lopez and Kevin Hart), “Formula Vol. 3” starts with an introduction by comedian Katt Williams and transitions into the set’s second track “Bebo,” a signature melodramatic Santos bachata tune. For the most part, “Vol. 3” falls in line with the traditional Dominican and guitar-based sound that helped make Santos a leader in the genre as the frontman of Aventura. The Timberlake-assisted “Sin Fin,” naturally, has its pop tendencies and “Culpable” with El Lápiz Consciente interpolates the 1995 hip-hop smash “I Got 5 on It.” But even when other genres are introduced, the set remains anchored in its slow and sensual bachata melodies.
