2019–present: Oasis and Colores
On 27 June 2019, Balvin released his new album in collaboration with Bad Bunny titled Oasis. The record was released overnight and was deemed a “surprise” release. The two artists first met at a Balvin concert in Puerto Rico, when Bad Bunny was working on releasing music on SoundCloud, and then collaborated on the 2017 track “Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola”. The chemistry between the two was so strong that they came up with the idea to release a joint album. Oasis peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and topped the Billboard US Latin Albums chart. The album was nominated for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards and was named one of Rolling Stone’s Best Latin Albums of 2019.
In August 2019, Balvin and Bad Bunny headlined the Uforia Latino Mix Live concert series to raise money for victims of the shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. The concert series consisted of two performances in Texas, one in Dallas and one in Houston, and featured openers Wisin y Yandel, Reik, Sech, Ozuna, Natti Natasha, Pedro Capo, Sebastian Yatra, Tito El Bambino. Balvin’s collaboration with Spanish singer Rosalía “Con altura” won Best Urban Song at the 2019 Latin Grammy Awards. The song received positive reviews from critics and Billboard ranked it 5th on their list of 100 Best Songs of 2019. Balvin was a guest performer in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show headlined by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. He also collaborated with Major Lazer and Dominican dembow singer El Alfa on the single “Que Calor” in September 2019.
In November 2019, Balvin released the music video for the single “Blanco”, which introduced a “futuristic, all-white environment filled with hypnotic dancers and flying cats”. On 20 March 2020, Balvin released the album Colores, in which every song is named after a color except the song “Arcoíris” (the Spanish word for rainbow). The album contains influences from dancehall, R&B, and electronica, and features Nigerian afrobeat artist Mr Eazi on the song “Arcoíris”. Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone called the album “sophisticated show of Balvin’s sonic palette”. The album artwork was created by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Balvin collaborated with Murakami for the music videos and album and single artwork, which notably feature Murakami’s flowers, as well as American clothing brand Guess on a capsule collection inspired by the album.
