Bad Gyal, Bad Bunny & More: Who Had the Best New Latin Music Release This Week?
This week, Billboard's New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including Bad Gyal and Ozuna's new collab 'Última Noche,' Maluma's soundtrack for summer 'Bronceador' and Bad Bunny's surprise track 'Alambre Púa.'
For their second collaborative effort, Bad Gyal and Ozuna deliver a sweet track — produced by Jorge Milliano and Cromo X — that effortlessly blends their vocals and distinct musical styles over smooth Afro-Caribbean rhythms inspired by Haitian kompa. The two artists previewed the track in June when Bad Gyal made a surprise appearance during Ozuna's performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza.

Meanwhile, Maluma's 'Bronceador' — his first single in almost a year — is the epitome of a summer song, powered by a merengue-tinged beat and cheeky lyrics about heating things up under the sun. Produced by Mad Musick, Ily Wonder and Los Jaycobz, the Colombian star narrates the story of a fiery, yet fleeting summer romance with a mysterious woman. The colorful music video, set in the vibrant streets of Cartagena, Colombia, stars model Ariadna Gutiérrez and truly captures the song's tropical joy and essence.
Other new releases this week include music from Banda Los Recoditos ('De Esta Me Levanto'), J Balvin (Mixteip), Dei V ('Tumbao'), Danna ('Khe Calor'), and Reik and Xavi's first collaboration ('La del Primer Puesto').
