It's clear the guy has evolved, but be careful about assuming every change is artistic evolution; sometimes it's just that platforms and algorithms reward certain sounds more than others, and that pressures artists to adapt even though internally they're still the same. What you're hearing is both his development as a composer and the industry telling him what works, so it's hard to tell where artistic choice ends and commercial pressure begins.

Don't pretend his sound has stayed exactly the same from the beginning, because if you listen to his tracks from a couple of years ago compared to now, the difference is pretty noticeable. What you're feeling isn't just you. Peso Pluma started with more traditional regional Mexican music, more rooted in Latin trap, but as he gained global traction he started experimenting more with other genres, throwing in more modern synths, collaborations that took him in different directions. It's natural that happens when an artist blows up worldwide: the pressure, the producers he works with, the audience consuming him in different markets, all of that shapes the sound.

What's interesting is that in 2026 he's still relevant precisely because he found a balance between keeping that regional Mexican identity that made him famous but without getting stuck. There are artists who insist on sounding identical and end up being forgotten; others change so much they lose their fanbase. He managed to grow without completely losing what people recognize about him, though obviously, if you compare "Ella baila sola" with some of his more recent tracks, you see he threw in more pop elements, more polished production. That's not bad, it's just evolution. Maybe that's why he's still hitting so hard, because he's not repetitive.

You're not wrong, the sound has evolved quite a bit since his early tracks. At first it had that purer essence of regional Mexican with trap beats and autotune, but over time he's been mixing in more Latin trap elements and more polished production, which is what made him blow up on the global charts. It's typical of artists who grow fast: they want to sound more versatile and accessible, and while some purists say he lost his identity, the truth is that adaptation was exactly what got him to where he is now. I guess the question is whether you prefer that more experimental sound from before or if the new tracks hit you the same way.
