Mon Laferte & Conociendo Rusia Drop ‘Esto Es Amor' & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Mon Laferte & Conociendo Rusia, 'Esto Es Amor' (Sony Music Latin) More from Billboard Tame Impala Previews New Era With Latest Single, 'End of Summer' Kneecap Banned From Hungary for Posing 'National Security Threat' Drake Reunites With Central Cee for 'Which One' Single: Stream It Now Chilean-Mexican singer-songwriter Mon Laferte released 'Esto es Amor,' the second single from her upcoming album, Femme Fatal, in a surprising and powerful collaboration with Argentine musician Conociendo Rusia (Mateo Sujatovich). This exciting, elegant alternative pop track with soulful overtones features the intense sound of the saxophone and sensual, provocative lyrics centered on love and intimate relationships, very much in the style of Roberta Flack. The song, with its soft, danceable rhythms, was produced by Laferte and her musical director Manu Jalil. It takes us into the new era that the chameleonic artist has adopted — inspired by showgirls, with a vintage and theatrical aesthetic — which complements her role as Sally Bowles in the Mexican version of the musical Cabaret. — NATALIA CANO Elena Rose & Justin Quiles, 'Cosita Linda' (Kira Records/Warner Music Latina) Venezuelan singer-songwriter Elena Rose and urban music star Justin Quiles join forces on this fusion of pop and Afrobeats that celebrates true, uncomplicated love. 'If you go as copilot/ I'm going wherever/ I'm going to the moon/ Tell me if you like the idea,' Elena sings in her signature style, before Quiles joins her on the infectious chorus: 'My beautiful thing is by my side/ She's even stolen the air from me/ I haven't connected with other eyes/ I see the color of yours, uoh/ Wow, uoh uoh uoh, uoh uoh uoh, the color of yours.' With its zesty, laid-back rhythm and positive lyrics, 'Cosita Linda' is perfect for enjoying this summer. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Eslabon Armado, 'Dame Un Chanze' (Armado Records) True to his songwriting style, Eslabon Armado's Pedro Tovar once again offers a snapshot of that emotional journey that comes from romantic relationships. While most of his lyrics portray relationships that are on the brink of falling apart, 'Dame Un Chanze' is hopeful, as the band's frontman pleads to be given a chance to show what he has to offer. 'Give me a chance, my love, to give you the world you deserve, leave those fools behind,' he sings over slapping guitars and a wailing trumpet. 'Everything just came naturally — the lyrics, the guitars, the melody. As soon as I finished it, I knew I wanted to release it,' Tovar said in a statement about the song. The new single follows Eslabon's latest studio album, Vibras de Noche II, which landed on Billboard's Best Albums of 2025 So Far. — GRISELDA FLORES Latin Mafia & Omar Apollo, 'Hecho Para Ti' (Rimas Entertainment México) It's the kind of music your parents might've danced to in a smoky Salón Tropicana — but with a twist that belongs entirely to today. Latin Mafia's latest single serves up a time-jumping cumbia pulled straight from your tío's VHS collection, while Omar Apollo adds his signature blend of tender heartbreak. Together, they spin emotional chaos into 'Hecho Para Ti,' a wistful ode to failed love with aching lyrics like, 'Si no vas a amarme, corazón/ Prefiero que me odies, cariño,' wrapped in retro grooves reinvented for modern fans. Co-produced by Tyler Spry (of Bad Bunny fame) and filmed in the aforementioned Mexico City venue, the track exudes late-'80s, early-'90s nightclub energy — and just might leave you dancing with a touch of heartache. — ISABELA RAYGOZA Melanie Santiler & Velito El Bufón, 'Todo Se Supera' (MamiFinaRecords) In a first collaborative effort, Melanie Santiler and Velito el Búfon—two promising acts in the Cuban urban scene — deliver 'Todo Se Supera' (or everything is overcome). Produced by Javier Sampedro, Yoyi Lagarza and Fernando Produce, the track kicks off with a sophisticated bolero melody before transitioning into a saucy and hard-hitting reparto beat (urban genre that derives from the barrios of Cuba). Lyrically, Santiler and Velito's silky vocals depict the story of a power couple who's going through a very public breakup. 'I'm tired of hearing you talk/ No podcast can stand it/ No one will care about the life you invent,' goes part of the cheeky song. The just as playful music video shows both artists annoyed with each other (but also flirting) during a TV interview. 'Releasing this song with Velito is super special to me because I've always loved his music, his flow, and the way he connects with people,' Santiler, who was featured on Billboard's On the Radar Latin earlier this year, said in a press statement. — JESSICA ROIZ Pancho Barraza & Lucero, 'Todo O Nada' (FONO/Pachy Music & Boba Records) The union of iconic pop star Lucero and Pancho Barraza, one of the most important interpreters of regional Mexican music, is something I wouldn't have imagined, but it comes as a pleasant surprise. Each one has their moment to shine in this song, in which a couple reproaches each other for the neglect that led to their breakup, although they claim to be better off without one another. 'Everything is over, I don't feel anything anymore/ Yesterday you were my everything, and today you're left with nothing,' goes part of the lyrics. Musically, 'Todo o Nada' is more pop-infused, although instruments like the tuba, characteristic of the Sinaloa band sound, can be subtly heard in the background, so you enjoy the best of both worlds in every sense. — TERE AGUILERA Carlos Vives, Lalo Ebratt, Bomba Estéreo, Estereobeat & More, '500' (Gaira Música Local) Carlos Vives pays a heartfelt tribute to Santa Marta on its fifth centenary with '500,' a song of profound love to the land of his birth, bringing together a collective of artists from Santa Marta, such as Lalo Ebratt, Bomba Estéreo, Estereobeat ft. Yera and Olga Lucia Vives. The song is 'an Indian-African-Spanish celebration,' as the lyrics say, capturing the historical and cultural soul of this ancestral land. The video, of moving cinematic beauty, explores its history and the magic of emblematic settings such as the Lost City, Tayrona Park and the Sierra Nevada, while a choir of Arhuaco girls sings verses in its native language. '500' is not only a tribute but also an aural and visual testimony to the legacy of Santa Marta to the world. — LUISA CALLE Esau Ortiz, 'Discontrol' (Sony Music Latin) Following the remix of his hit 'Triple Lavada,' which features Luis R Conríquez, Óscar Maydon, Víctor Mendivil and Alemán, Esau Ortiz returns with a solo track that once again displays his knack to produce bangers that blend regional Mexican roots with pop, disco and tropical beats. 'Discontrol' kicks off with sierreño guitars and trumpets then segues into an oom-pah, merengue beat that's irresistible. Between the spite lyrics and that beat, this one should take off. — LEILA COBO Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart Solve the daily Crossword

In support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors, music fans voted for the Argentine artist's new studio album as their favorite music release of the week. The 14-track set, helmed by her longtime producer Nico Cotton and released via Dale Play Records and Rimas Entertainment, generated more than 93% of the vote, beating out other new album releases last week including Boza's San Blas, Natalia Lafourcade's Cancionera, Javiera Mena's Inmersión, and Bunbury's Cuentas Pendientes. More from Billboard Latinaje is home to the previously-released singles 'La Cueva,' 'Dolce,' and 'Con Otra'—the latter two also won the fan-related poll on Billboard. If these tracks were any indication, lyrically and musically, Cazzu has evolved since her 2022 set Nena Trampa. On Latinaje, the artist born Julieta Cazzucheli is vulnerable and mature, singing about overcoming a heartbreak, finding her self-worth, but most importantly, motherhood—'Inti' is a sweet dedication to the daughter she has with ex-boyfriend Christian Nodal. The very diverse album is home to trap, cumbia, salsa, merengue, flamenco, and tango melodies, and collaborations with Elena Rose, Maka, and WIU. On the previous New Music Latin poll, Kenia OS and Anitta's 'En 4″— a provocative fusion between perreo and Brazilian funk— won the fan-related music poll.

Bomba Estéreo & Rawayana's ‘Me Pasa (Piscis)'& More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Astropical (Bomba Estéreo & Rawayana), 'Me Pasa (Piscis)' (Sony Music Latin) More from Billboard Mick Jagger, Metallica & More Remember Marianne Faithfull: 'She Was a Wonderful Friend' Sum 41 Say Farewell: The Canadian Pop-Punk Legends on the Highs and Lows of Their Unpredictable Career Here Are All the Performers and Presenters at the 2025 Grammy Awards Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana are two of the most beloved contemporary bands from Colombia and Venezuela. Now together, as the supergroup Astropical, they deliver an explosion of flavor with 'Me Pasa (Pisces)' – the first single from a project that combines the worlds of astrology and tropical rhythms. The song, which fuses Afrobeats with the sounds of the Colombian gaita flute and a nostalgic guitar line, makes references to the Colombian champeta, the Venezuelan arepas and songs by Juan Luis Guerra when talking about an irresistible attraction between two people who are ready to start a journey together. The voices of Li Saumet of Bomba and Beto Montenegro of Rawa shine separately, but create magic when they meet in the infectious chorus: 'What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?/ The floor is moving and there is no one in the house/ My heart beats and that doesn't happen to me/ But what do I care?' It's a joyous and promising letter of introduction to the new supergroup that we didn't know we needed. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Elena Rose & Morat, 'Un Beso Menos' (Kira Records/Warner Music Latina) Elena Rose's knack to craft love songs shines in her latest single, 'Un Beso Menos,' with Colombian band Morat adding another layer of emotional depth to the sentimental song. In the heartfelt pop ballad, Elena Rose and Morat narrate a relationship where every kiss feels like a bittersweet goodbye, and time together is always too short. 'I can't help but think that every time we see each other, it's not one more kiss, it's one less/ So don't let me go tonight,' they sing with pathos. — GRISELDA FLORES Daniel Sabater, 'danito' (Sony Music Entertainment Spain) Emerging Spanish pop artist Daniel Sabater delivers a deeply emotional ballad with 'danito,' a piano piece that evokes nostalgia and mourning for a lost love. With a delicate, cracked voice and a performance full of vulnerability, the singer-songwriter reflects on the longing for who he used to be, while saying goodbye to his former self, who lived tied to that relationship. The music video adds an even more intimate dimension, showing the artist performing the song in a single take. — LUISA CALLE Trueno + Feid, 'Cruz' (Sur Capital Records/Sony Music Latin) In a first collaborative effort, Trueno and Feid deliver 'Cruz,' which translates to 'cross' in English. Effortlessly lacing the Argentine and Colombian lingo, the two artists sing to an ex who they miss but has moved on: 'Baby your eyes are my light and my sins are bigger than the cross/ That's why I go to where you are.' Notably is the track's G-funk beat helmed by producers Tatool and LukasBL. 'Cruz' fuses rap with funk, deep bass, snare drums, and groovy synthesizers, bringing to 2025 the g-funk made popular in the '90s by artists such as Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. — JESSICA ROIZ Meme del Real, 'Princesa' (DOCEMIL Music/HYBE Latin America) Meme del Real, famously known as a key member of Café Tacvba, launches his solo debut with 'Princesa,' under Hybe Latin America's new label, DOCEMIL Music. The multifaceted singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist channels the serenity of the natural environment into his music, establishing an intimate connection between himself and his surroundings. The song starts as a soft ballad enriched with orchestral and harp elements, then seamlessly transitions into vibrant synth-pop. This single is the first from his upcoming album, and it heralds his personal rebirth as a vocalist. 'The opportunity to have such a close relationship with nature provided me with a different perspective on the ecology of systems; not only natural, but also how I relate to my family, my friends, and the environment,' Meme says in a press release. With production led by the legendary Gustavo Santaolalla, 'Princesa' solidifies itself as an exceptional debut in Meme's solo career. — ISABELA RAYGOZABest of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart
