Samuel Releases Four-Track Album ‘Samuelito’ Blending Latin, Reggaeton and K-Pop
International artist Samuel has released “Samuelito,” a four-track album that merges Latin rhythm, reggaeton energy, and the performance-driven aesthetic he developed during his career in Korea. Born in Los Angeles to a Mexican family, Samuel established his early artistic foundation in the Korean music industry, where he cultivated a performance style and vocal range across pop and R&B. The album title derives from a childhood nickname that has followed the artist through his life, signaling a return to a more authentic personal identity. Samuel was actively involved in both songwriting and performance direction across the project, which is framed as a declaration of self-definition. The four tracks are “Hola!,” “Zigi-Zigi-Zigi,” “Never Say Goodbye…,” and “Ddook Ddak,” sequenced as a compact narrative arc. A music video accompanies the lead track “Zigi-Zigi-Zigi.” Samuel has built a following of more than two million on Instagram, and further activity is expected through the summer.
