"I wanted to show my different influences, like the pop side, the more indie side, the more electronic side, and show people that I wasn't just this one-dimensional reggaeton hot bitch," she told New Times of her latest album ahead of the show. 11 p.m. at the Ground, 31 NE 11th St., Miami; thegroundmiami.com.
