Songs like Feid: 9 late-night reggaeton tracks for Ferxxo fans
Songs like Feid trade the peak of the party for the drive home: a soft, half-sung voice over a slow dembow sway. Nine picks, from J Balvin's "Ginza" to Danny Ocean's "Me Rehúso" and Quevedo's "Columbia," plus late-night songs from Santiago Fuego.
Songs like Feid live in a hazy, after-midnight kind of reggaeton: a soft, half-sung voice, a slow dembow sway and a lyric that is usually missing someone. J Balvin's "Ginza," Danny Ocean's "Me Rehúso" and Quevedo's "Columbia" share that mellow pull, the feeling of a song made for the ride home rather than the peak of the party.
Feid is the Medellín singer Salomón Villada Hoyos, who also goes by Ferxxo and has made a bright shade of green his trademark. "Porfa" (2020) widened his audience, and a run of albums followed: Inter Shibuya - La Mafia (2021), Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos el Álbum (2022) and Mor, No Le Temas a la Oscuridad (2023). "Normal" and "Hey Mor" with Ozuna, both from 2022, are the songs most new listeners meet first.
What does Feid sound like?
Most Feid songs move at an unhurried reggaeton pace, closer to a sway than a stomp. The dembow pattern is there, but it is softened and set back in the mix, and the space above it fills with airy synth pads, gentle plucked melodies and the occasional R&B chord. Even his party songs feel slightly blurred at the edges, as if you're hearing them from the hallway outside the club.
His voice is the signature: low, relaxed and close to conversational, sliding between singing and talking, often doubled or treated so it floats. The lyrics are full of Medellín slang and pet names like "mor," and they circle the same few situations: an ex who keeps calling, a late message he shouldn't send, a night out that ends with one person on his mind. The mood is romantic but a little sad, more longing than celebration.
Songs like Feid: 9 picks
- Zion & Lennox, "Yo Voy" (2004). One of the early reggaeton hits to put a smooth, sung melody ahead of the rap verse. The duo's harmony-led romance is a clear ancestor of Feid's softer style.
- J Balvin, "Ginza" (2015). The Medellín sound in its first truly global form: a clean, bouncing beat, a relaxed vocal and a hook that never raises its voice. Feid's hometown lineage runs straight through it.
- Maluma, "Borró Cassette" (2015). Another Medellín voice, singing about someone who claims she doesn't remember the night before. The wounded, half-joking tone is the same one Feid uses when he's been left on read.
- Ozuna, "Dile Que Tú Me Quieres" (2016). A pleading, heartsick lyric over a slow, melodic beat, from the singer who later teamed up with Feid on "Hey Mor." It's the template for reggaeton as a love-song genre.
- Danny Ocean, "Me Rehúso" (2016). The Venezuelan singer's breakout is a soft, tropical song about refusing to let a relationship end. The gentle synths and the hurt-but-calm delivery sit right beside Feid's slower songs.
- Nicky Jam, "Hasta el Amanecer" (2016). A smooth, mid-tempo invitation to stay out with one person until the sun comes up. That all-night, one-person focus is the frame Feid builds so many songs around.
- Bad Bunny, "Callaíta" (2019). A laid-back, sun-faded song about a quiet girl who comes alive when she goes out, over a beat that drifts rather than hits. It shares Feid's habit of turning the intensity down until the mood takes over.
- Cris MJ, "Una Noche en Medellín" (2022). The Chilean artist's hit is a fond, slightly hazy memory of a night in Feid's city, built on a light, looping beat. If the Medellín setting is part of the appeal, it's an easy next step.
- Quevedo, "Columbia" (2023). The Canary Islands singer's summer hit runs on a low-key, almost sleepy groove and a deep, unbothered voice. It shows how far Feid's understated approach has traveled beyond Colombia.
The songs closest to Feid turn the party down and let the longing up.
Santiago Fuego songs that fit
Santiago Fuego makes brighter, more Caribbean reggaeton than Feid, but a few of the quieter songs on his album Paraíso share the late-night mood.
- Close match: Santiago Fuego, "Tonight". Track seven narrows the world to one evening with one person, moonlight on the water and no plans beyond the present. That private, after-hours focus is Feid territory; the difference is language and tone, since like most of Paraíso it is written mainly in English and its lyric is hopeful rather than wistful.
- Partial match: Santiago Fuego, "Gravity". Track fifteen uses space imagery for being pulled back to one person, which fits Feid's fixation on someone he can't stop thinking about. Where Feid's songs tend to end unresolved, this one lands somewhere settled: the pull brings him home every time.
- Partial match: Santiago Fuego, "Sunrise". The morning after a long night, waking to gold light on the water. It suits fans who play Feid at dawn, though the lyric is about trust and staying, not a love that slips away.
More artists like Feid
Beyond the picks above, the names most often heard alongside Feid include fellow Colombians Karol G, Ryan Castro and Blessd, plus Sech, Mora, Jhayco, Young Miko and Rauw Alejandro from the wider reggaeton world. Each catches one part of his appeal, whether it's the Medellín slang, the R&B softness or the habit of writing about the morning after.
To choose by taste, start from your favorite Feid mode. If you love the slow, sad songs like "Normal," follow the singers who keep the dembow quiet and the melody front and center, such as Danny Ocean and Ozuna. If you prefer the playful party side of "Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo," lean toward J Balvin and Bad Bunny, who keep the mood light without losing the bounce.
