DIA and Paopao’s “CON EL” Brings Emotional Depth to Reggaeton
Reggaeton artists DIA and Paopao team up for “CON EL,” blending storytelling and innovation in a must-hear track.
Puerto Rican sensation DIA has released “CON EL,” an innovative collaboration with singer-songwriter Paopao. The track, now available via Casablanca Records, delivers a heartfelt take on reggaeton, combining nostalgic themes with experimental production. Fans can also enjoy the song’s stunning music video, now streaming online.
“CON EL” breaks away from traditional reggaeton formulas, blending bright marimba synths, driving beats, and emotive storytelling. DIA’s commanding verses and Paopao’s buttery vocals complement each other perfectly, creating a sound that’s both wistful and bold. Together, they offer listeners a fresh perspective on themes of heartbreak and personal growth.
“I started working on the song with Red Finger (producer), and from the moment I wrote the intro, I instantly thought of Paopao,” DIA explains. “She gives her fans that pleasant sadness in her songs. We got together in the studio, and it flowed easily. We wanted to take ‘regret’ in a different direction, and storytelling through my songs is something that identifies me. We merged both worlds together, and it resulted in ‘CON EL.’”
The song’s music video expands on its themes of loss and reflection. In a narrative-driven visual, DIA finds a symbolic plush toy that reignites memories of a past relationship. Meanwhile, Paopao’s storyline unfolds as she approaches DIA’s door but hesitates, choosing to walk away. Both artists’ performances perfectly capture the essence of the song’s message.
