Bad Gyal

"Pai" gained popularity on YouTube, and was picked up by a local radio, which led to the creation of a mixtape, Slow Wine, with producer Pablo Martínez. The mixtape was released on November 11, 2016. It received generally favourable critics thanks to its innovative sound. Mondo Sonoro stated: "with this project Bad Gyal stands out from the disruptive base rag to embrace what she always considered her musical origins: Jamaican music. Much closer to Kingston than to Atlanta, Farelo has easily slipped through the musics of his fellow generations and added "pegones beats". Bad Gyal started to raise online. Through that era she hit a page on several professional music magazines and websites including Pitchfork and Fact Magazine, who named her song, "Jacaranda" their number 1 single of 2017.[9] After releasing the mixtape's debut single "Fiebre", the singer started to grow exponentially in the areas of El Maresme, Barcelonès and other points of Catalonia and Spain. Throughout the years, the song has developed a cult following and has been catalogued as a must play at clubs and music festivals. As "Fiebre" was having a lot of success, she was offered many record deals, which she turned down after some legal advises by lawyers and her dream to continue as an independent artist. The success of the mixtape and its critical acclaim led Farelo to perform at several festivals in Iceland and Japan, as well as the Red Bull Music Academy Festival in Los Angeles, and Sónar in Barcelona.[10][9][11] In late 2017 she also toured Mexico and the US.

In February 2018, she released her second mixtape to critical acclaim, which she titled "Worldwide Angel". The album was licensed and distributed with Canada Editorial.[12] The mixtape was produced by Jam City, Dubbel Dutch, DJ Florentino and Spanish musician El Guincho. It spawned many singles including "Blink", "Candela" and "Internationally". The last one was included in the digital soundtrack of the first season of the Netflix teen drama series Élite and was featured in an episode. To promote the album, she took part of international festivals such as SXSW and Lollapalooza and toured once again the United States. During winter season she embarked on her first Asian tour, which visited countries like Japan, China or the Philippines. She also released "Open the Door" featuring Jamaican singer Govana, "Yo SIgo Iual" and "Unknown Feeling".

Formerly signed with the production company Canada Editorial, in April 2019 it was announced Farelo had signed with Interscope Records and Aftercluv.[13] The next month she was featured in Spanish Vogue.[14] As a signed artist, she moved to a more mainstream field with her first release as a signed artist being the long-anticipated track "Santa María" featuring Jamaican dancehall-reggae artist Busy Signal. It was released in parallel with "Milionària" by Rosalía, in which some called "the biggest musical weekend celebration in Catalan recent music memory".[15] It reached the fourteenth position on the PROMUSICAE chart and was later certified gold.[16] A couple weeks later she released its B-side track, "Hookah", which also entered the chart. During the summer she embarked on her third solo tour "Bad Gyal Soundsystem", which visited many festivals including Sónar, Jameson Urban Routes, Hellow, Arenal Sound and Ceremonia, among others. In October 2019 she collaborated with Spanish urbano artist Omar Montes on "Alocao", which eventually became huge in Spain and selected parts of Latin America. The song peaked number one in Spain for several weeks and was certified four times platinum for selling over 160,000 copies.[17] In December, she released her biggest commercial solo track to date "Zorra", which peaked at number two on the PROMUSICAE chart and was certified platinum in Spain. Bad Gyal offered two major solo sold-out concerts at Razzmatazz and another sold-out one at La Riviera.[18] The Soundsystem show was expected to begin a major Spanish and Latin American leg starting March 8, 2020 but could only do three shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Appearances at festivals like Estéreo Picnic and Primavera Sound were cancelled while the whole tour was postponed to November. The tour was scheduled to end with a special concert at Barcelona's Sant Jordi Club, a smaller venue alongside the Palau Sant Jordi, Spain's largest and most recognisable indoor arena, on November 27, 2020.[19] It sold out in a couple days but had to be postponed a whole year.[20] Nevertheless, despite the pandemic, Farelo was featured on "Tu Eres Un Bom Bom" alongside Panamanian rapper Kafu Banton.[21] It would later be remixed in collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Guaynaa.[22] Bad Gyal also released "Aprendiendo el Sexo" in July, with a music video produced by Canada and filmed at the luxurious W Hotel Barcelona.[23] In November, she paired with Juanka and released "Blin Blin" to commercial success and the acclaim of the general public. The track became viral in her home country and had a significant use on TikTok. She also partnered with Vodafone and offered a unique virtual concert.[24] Bad Gyal is scheduled to release an EP in January 2021 with her latest releases including the controvertial Rauw Alejandro "Zorra" remix.[25][26]
