Background
In a TikToklive stream, where Londra was celebrating the release of his single "Nublado", and 35 minutes after its release, he unexpectedly announced the immediate launch of "Luces", his fourth single for his second studio album.[2]
Critical reception
Laura Coca from the radio station network Los 40 highlighted that with this release, Londra demonstrates "that he is one of the most versatile artists we have in the current urban industry" and his fans on social media "have showered the artist with compliments and praises" for his song and talent, as he ventured into "a genre completely different from the one he has been working in for years".[3]
Commercial performance
"Luces" debuted at number 25 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, marking the second highest debut of a song for that week on the chart, trailing behind "Nublado", another single by Londra.[4]
Music video
The music video was directed by Agustín Portela and is set in a nightclub, where Londra plays the role of a waiter who, at a point in the night, is required to take over the DJ booth to play music after the DJ leaves.[5] At first, he doesn't seem to convince the audience until he decides to play the song "Luces", which gets everyone dancing.[6] Throughout the video, Londra dropped a easter egg that he would release four musical collaborations.[7]
