This album deserves large audiences. It is broad in its appeal, yes, but it is miles deep in its longevity.
Sticking largely to pop-familiar structures and revolving around hip-waggling choruses, these are the party's unabashed attention-seekers.
More often than not, though, the restlessness of Pop Negro cements its mediocrity. Too often, Reixa works himself into an enjoyable groove that is then disrupted by melodic transitions so ill-fitting they seem nearly discordant.
Nevertheless, in spite of its sense of fun and wilful provocation, Pop Negro may not be an album with all that many listens in it. Much of the experimentation is on the surface, and there does not seem to be a great deal of further depth or sophistication.
