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

Ed Sheeran excitedly announces Australian tour at virtual Sydney press conference
After much speculation, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has announced he will return to Australia for his all-new Loop Tour in 2026. The global superstar will perform eight massive shows at stadiums across the country in January, February and March next year, performing in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. He will also perform three shows in New Zealand in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The live shows promise to be filled with surprises and new music, as well as his biggest hits. Sheeran himself excitedly shared the news with Aussies at a virtual press conference on Tuesday, dialling in from London to the Lord Dudley Hotel in Sydney's Woollahra.

Sheeran was last in Australia in 2023 for his sold-out Mathematics Tour, which sold more than 1 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand. His previous, Divide Tour in 2018, currently holds the record for the highest-selling tour in Australasian history with 1.1 million tickets sold. The announcement comes after weeks after Sheeran hinted that a tour Down Under was imminent. In June, the four-time Grammy winner posted a TikTok of himself sightseeing in Madrid, Spain, during a break in touring. 'Came to Madrid for the shows, stayed for the vibes,' he captioned the video at the time. When a fan randomly commented on the TikTok, 'How does coming back to Australia soon sound to you?' Sheeran replied, 'Start of 2026.' It took a few weeks, but the singer finally gave confirmation today, with tickets to his highly anticipated shows going on sale on Tuesday, July 29.

Along with the exciting news, Saweetie has shared new single 'Boffum.' Produced by J White Did It, the mastermind behind Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow,' the new Saweetie track is a high-energy offering oozing with confidence. On 'Boffum,' the rapper delivers boastful lines like, 'Lady or a pimp? Boffum,' showing she doesn't have to choose between anything, in fact, she can have it all.

Bif Naked returns to Timmins to perform new songs at Rock on the River Festival
Bif Naked is set to rock Timmins at the Rock on the River Festival, where she will be debuting her new song 'Champion'. Lydia Chubak reports. As Timmins gets ready to party at the annual Rock on the River Festival this weekend, Bif Naked is looking forward to sharing new music from her first album in 15 years on Friday night. She told CTV News, 'Champion' is a song she can't wait to belt out. 'As soon as I hear that chord, it just brings a smile to my face and we just, you know, it just makes us pump our fists in the air,' said Beth Torbert, better known as Bif Naked. Bif Naked As Timmins gets ready to party at the annual Rock on the River Festival this weekend, Bif Naked is looking forward to sharing new music from her first album in 15 years on Friday night. (Supplied) At 54 years old, Tobert said she is feeling like a champion of life. Born in secret to a teenager living in India, she's the product of a Canadian girl and a British Boy. She said she was rejected by both families and later adopted by missionaries. Life brought her down some dark roads and she's a survivor of abusive relationships, substance use and breast cancer. 'But that's the good thing about coming together and being in a room together or being in a festival together like that,' Tobert said. Lift each other up 'We do feel a shared sense of community, because we have shared experiences. And that's the thing I call it 'holding hands,' even though you're not holding hands … it's like having a hand in the well and, you know, you just you just do you lift each other up.' Michelle Mailloux of Timmins couldn't agree more. She's a survivor of sexual violence and the owner of Owl's Nest Coaching and Wellness Studio. 'In a time right now where things are really hard, there's a lot of isolation and loneliness and divide,' Mailloux said. 'We need opportunities like that where people are being vulnerable in a certain way and sharing their experiences, and it helps to give the message that we're not alone in this.' Torbert said, regardless of one's occupation, we can all relate to one another and whether that's at a concert or at a workshop, these are opportunities to keep on rocking.
