Becky G Reveals Her ‘Freak in the Sheets’ Era to ‘Playboy’: ‘God Forbid She Talk About It’
The singer gets candid about sex, womanhood and queer club culture in a new interview with the storied outlet.
Becky G, the Mexican-American pop sensation, has revealed the raw and unfiltered side of her artistic evolution in an intimate interview with Playboy. In the August 20 issue, the 29-year-old singer sheds light on her sensual and unabashedly adult era, encapsulated in her fifth studio album, Baraja Bendita.
She candidly shares, "Why is it that she's a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets, but God forbid she talk about it, you know?" This is not just about women in general, but a revelation of her personal experiences as a woman.
The album is a significant departure from her previous works, Esquinas (2023) and Encuentros (2024). Becky G describes it as a cathartic release, moving away from the emotional intricacies of her earlier projects towards a more liberated, house and Latin rhythms-infused sound. This newfound freedom also serves as a nod of gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community, whom she acknowledges as the heartbeat of dance and soul music.
"Nothing would be where it is today without them," she shares. "They’re at the core and the spirit of dance music and soul music. I feel they definitely inspired a lot of the sounds I explored and they are a huge source of inspiration for this album." This candid revelation marks a pivotal shift in Becky G's career, signaling a bold new chapter where she unapologetically merges her public image with her private self.
