Chilean Star Cris MJ Drops ‘Apocalipsis,’ His First Album Following ‘Gata Only’ Success
- Cris MJ released his highly anticipated album "Apocalipsis," blending trap and reggaeton with inspiration from Paris architecture and modernity.
Cris MJ is preparing for an apocalypse. On Friday, the Chilean star released his anticipated album Apcalipsis , his first full-length project since joining FloyyMenor on the smash hit " Gata Only ."
" Apocalipsis is the most personal and ambitious thing I've done so far. It represents a new chapter in my life and career, a more mature stage where I dared to experiment with new sounds without losing my essence," Cris said in a press statement about the record. "I want my fans to feel the evolution, but also the energy I started with. I want the world to know that history is being made from Chile and made big."

The album, which blends trap and reggaeton, features 18 tracks, some of which were previously released, including the closing trio: "Élite," "Frozen," and "Party MJ." Cris looked to the city of Paris for inspiration, drawing from its architecture and modernity and fusing that with his signature pop-reggaeton sound.
Among the new songs bringing his high-energy reggaeton are "Vamo a Bailotear," "Tercer Cielo," and "Maybach." "Every sound and every melody on this album is lovingly curated and dedicated to all of you," he wrote to fans on Instagram earlier this week.
The Chilean star, who found his first hit with "Una Noche en Medellín" in 2022, last dropped a full LP in 2023, Partyson . (Karol G later remixed the song on her album Bichota Season with Ryan Castro.) Partyson also included his hits "Diabólica" with Dei V and solo single "Daytona." His FloyyMenor collab has more than 1.6 billion streams on Spotify, and they followed it up with "Después de la 1" last year.
