Vale! ULB have never been a band content with standing still, and Devórame arrives as another exhilarating reminder that their greatest strength lies in movement. Movement between genres, cultures and continents, but most importantly, movement on the dancefloor. Bursting with vibrant rhythms and irresistible charisma, the collective’s latest single is an infectious celebration of freedom, desire and musical fusion that refuses to let listeners sit still.
From its opening moments, Devórame wastes little time making its intentions clear. Built on a pulsating Brazilian funk-inspired groove, the track explodes into a kaleidoscope of Latin pop melodies, Cuban percussion, hip-hop swagger and New Orleans bounce. Rather than feeling overcrowded, every element slots seamlessly into place, creating a sound that’s as adventurous as it is accessible.
At the centre of the track is Val, whose confident and magnetic vocal performance ties together the song’s many influences. Her delivery is playful, flirtatious and effortlessly commanding, perfectly embodying the song’s central theme of surrendering to desire without hesitation. Whether riding the verses with understated confidence or lifting the chorus into an undeniable singalong, Val gives Devórame the personality that transforms it from a dance track into an anthem.
The production is equally impressive. Three-time Grammy-winning producer Deezle lays the foundation with a groove that instantly commands attention, while Cuban percussionist Anier injects the song with an organic energy that elevates every beat. The live percussion brings warmth and spontaneity to the polished production, preventing the track from ever feeling mechanical. Meanwhile, Mr. Sonic’s finishing touches ensure the fusion of Latin rhythms, Brazilian funk and contemporary pop feels effortless rather than experimental for its own sake.
Despite its carefree exterior, Devórame succeeds because it understands that great party music is built on feeling. The chemistry between the performers is palpable throughout, creating an atmosphere that feels genuinely celebratory rather than manufactured. It’s a song driven by joy, confidence and connection, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the rhythm for three unforgettable minutes.
Vale! ULB have coined their sound “Cabana Bounce,” and Devórame may be its clearest definition yet. There’s an unmistakable sense of escapism woven into every melody, conjuring images of beach parties, neon-lit nights and spontaneous celebrations. Yet beneath the tropical energy lies an impressive level of musicianship. Every contributor brings world-class experience to the table, but none of it feels like an exercise in technical showmanship. Instead, their collective talent serves the song, allowing its infectious spirit to take centre stage.
That balance between sophistication and accessibility is what makes Devórame so effective. It’s equally capable of igniting festival crowds, filling club dancefloors or simply providing the soundtrack to a summer drive with the windows down. The track embraces musical diversity without sacrificing immediacy, proving that genre-crossing music can still deliver unforgettable hooks.
Having already built an impressive international following through chart success across Europe and the Americas, Vale! ULB continue to demonstrate why they’re becoming one of the most exciting crossover acts in contemporary Latin music. Rather than chasing trends, they continue refining a sound that’s entirely their own, drawing from multiple musical traditions to create something vibrant, celebratory and unmistakably global.
With Devórame, Vale! ULB deliver one of their strongest releases to date. Bold, colourful and overflowing with life, it’s a single that captures the thrill of letting go and embracing the moment. In a musical landscape increasingly driven by formulas, Devórame stands out through its fearless fusion of cultures, its undeniable groove and its simple belief that music should bring people together. Few songs this year feel as joyfully alive.
