Cazzu’s ‘Dolce’ & More: Which Is Your Favorite New Latin Music Release of the Week? Vote!

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music from artists including Cazzu, J Balvin, Danny Ocean, and Alejandro Sanz’s first collaborative effort with Grupo Frontera, to name a few.

Cazzu kicked off 2025 on a powerful note with the release of “Dolce,” her first attempt at música mexicana. The corrido tumbado, produced by Nito Cotton, is about a complex relationship characterized by betrayal, backed by pleasing requintos. In the lyrics, the Argentine artist reflects on her emotions, which lead her to seek revenge in an expressive manner. “You forgot that I taught you everything you know,” she fearlessly chants.

On the other hand, J Balvin unleashed a love letter to his longtime partner and model, Valentina Ferrer, in a romantic reggaetón track called “Rio.” Named after the couple’s son, the Colombian urbano reflects on his personal and spiritual healing process, paying tribute to one of his biggest supporters. “Why look on the street for what is abundant in my house?/ A good-natured babe, who has a hot body and face […] God made her humble but I see her as very expensive,” he sings.

Other new releases featured in our New Music Latin playlist include Adriel Favela and Carín León’s “Un 2X3,” Milo J and TINI’s “Lo Que Me Causa,” and Lasso and HA*ASH’s “Cinco Minutos Más.” Who should win this week?
