Greeicy, Jay Wheeler, Natanael Cano & More: Which Is Your Favorite New Latin Music Release of the Week?
Written by djfrosty on October 4, 2024
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 new music by Grupo Frontera, Eslabon Armado, Francisca Valenzuela ft. Daniela Spalla and more.
Colombian star Greeicy and Puerto Rican rapper/singer Jay Wheeler team up for a slow-burning reggeatón ballad, “¿Qué Te Pasó?” (meaning what happened to you?). Produced by La Crème, the single combines her sweet croon with Wheeler’s tender approach, creating an alluring and emotive mix of Latin pop and urban rhythms. The plunges into a realm where feelings are intense, utilizing music as the supreme medium to convey the sorrow and longing that accompany heartbreak.
On the other hand, Natanael Cano reimagines Juan Gabriel’s iconic “Amor Eterno” in his corridos tumbados style, enriched with haunting requinto and soft brass. “This is one of those songs that stays in your memory forever,” the Mexican artist says in a press release, showcasing his deep ties to his musical roots and cultural traditions. “It brings back so many childhood memories for me.” Released ahead of Día de Muertos, this resonant interpretation serves as an homage to cherished memories and the departed.

Billboard‘s Griselda Flores writes, “Powered by ethereal melodies and splashes of Latin rhythms that build the intensity, the song allows Valenzuela and Spalla’s dreamy vocals to take center stage.”
Other new releases this week are the albums La Reina del Reggeatón Mexicano by Bellakath, Tofu by Caloncho, and Hayabusca by Caleb Calloway. There is also a remix of “Espacio en Tu Corazón” by Enrique Iglesias and Ana Mena.
