All eyes are on dynamic production duo Luny Tunes and their new album, Los Benjamins. This is, after all, the team that is widely regarded as the premiere production team behind reggaetón.

Being the premiere production team doesn't necessarily mean being innovative, though. Los Benjamins which the Luny Tunes (Francisco Saldańa and Victor Cabrera) produced alongside Tainy, is pretty straightforward reggaetón, with pretty straightforward lyrics, dealing mostly with girls, their skirts and with how great reggaetón is: tons of it, actually, as this album is 21 tracks long.

What keeps things going is the variety of voices, which clearly show that there are differences to be heard in this genre, and the plethora of stars to be heard from, including Dadddy Yankee, Don Omar, Wisin & Yandel, Tito "El Bambino," Zion and even RBD.

Yep. RBD. The Mexican pop quintet is heard on "Lento" (two versions are included), which marries a reggaetón beat to a melodic refrain that talks about RBD and Luny Tunes. Although obviously a ploy, we have to admit it works. The final result is a decidedly catchy tune that will no doubt do well in radio.

Also catchy are two tracks that bring together the big names, the opening "Royal Rumble," but more so, "Noche De Entierro." The latter, which includes Daddy Yankee, Wisin & Yandel, Zion, Hector "El Father" and Tonny Tun Tun, is clearly reminiscent of salsero Joe Arroyo's danceable track "La Noche," down to its Colombian cumbia beat and flute lines. Tito "El Bambino" offers a similarly titled track, "Esta Noche," which features Tito's distinctive, sweet voice singing a pop-leaning track, with easy to chant chorus.

While Tito's track is catchy and recognizable, Alexis & Fido's ensuing "La Ex" is too obvious in its word play of "ex" and "sex." Also obvious in the lyrics department is Baby Rasta's "De Ti Me Enamoré," but it's still a fun, bachata-laced, danceable track that leads straight to the dance floor.

If you want to hear something totally different, go a little deeper into the album and check out "No Te Quiero" by El Roockie. Although the hooks aren't as strong as those in other tracks, the soulful vocals, R&B lines that float over beats, make you listen.

Los Benjamins ends with two hidden tracks. One is "Libertad" by Luigi, and the second is a remix of "Lento" whose bass line sounds very much like that of Yankee's hit "Rompe." Regardless, by including RBD twice on the album, the message is clear: this is reggaeton for a pop audience.
