This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin roundup and playlist — curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features fresh new music, including new albums by Eslabon Armado (Vibras de Noche II), Ovy on the Drums (Cassette 02 Chile), and newcomer Joyce Santana (Nada Persona).
Staying true to its sad sierreño roots, Eslabon Armado delivered a 15-songs moody set that navigates different emotions from love, loss, nostalgia, and moving on. The only collaboration on the album is “Esa Noche” with Macario Martinez, the viral folk singer from Mexico who went from street cleaner to hitmaker earlier this year. Vibras de Noche II, is the follow-up to the group’s Vibras de Noche LP from five years ago, which spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart.
Meanwhile, Anitta dropped an interesting blend of British electronic music with punk and reggaetón melodies in “Larissa,” a song from her recently released documentary Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta. “My music has always been about strength, right? Mainly feminine strength. But, talking about this track and also the film, I feel like I discovered a new type of strength by allowing myself to be fragile, to fail and to make mistakes,” the Brazilian superstar expressed in a press statement.

FloyyMenor and J Balvin, on the other hand, unleashed “BANSHEE,” a song named after one of the popular sports cars in Grand Theft Auto, and which has the similar catchy synth melodies that made Floyy’s No. 1 Billboard hit “Gata Only” a contagious track. Lyrically, the full-fledged reggaetón song is about flirting and desiring a girl. The Chilean breakthrough star first teased a team-up with Balvin at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he won Global 200 Latin song of the year for “Gata Only,” his collaboration with Cris MJ.
Other new releases this week include Aitana and Myke Tower’s “Sentimiento Natural,” Majo Aguilar’s “Piel Azteca,” and Peso Pluma’s “RARI,” among others. Who should win this week? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.

Kicking things off is Chappell Roan, who stepped into her Missouri roots with her country leaning track, “The Giver.” The Grammy-winning superstar announced the single earlier this month via Instagram, sharing a photo of herself dressed up in construction gear. “I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” she wrote. “I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bon fires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.” The song marks Roan’s first release since her hit, “Good Luck, Babe!,” which she dropped in April last year.
Haim also made their grand return with their breezy, summer-ready single “Relationships.” Haim’s last studio album, Women in Music Pt. III, was released in 2020. It reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and received a Grammy nomination for album of the year.

Alter Ego showcases the Thai rapper embodying five distinct personas: Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni and Speedi. “It represents five characters of me as well, like I feel related with them,” she told Sean Evans on Hot Ones ahead of the album’s release.
Before Alter Ego, LISA had released only two solo singles: 2021’s “LALISA” and “MONEY,” both of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, she also appeared without her bandmates on DJ Snake’s “SG” with Ozuna, and on “HISS” with the rapper, who features on Alter Ego track “Rapunzel.”
LISA is the latest BLACKPINK member to release solo music in recent months. ROSÉ released her debut solo album, rosie, in December, and two months later, JISOO dropped her EP, AMORTAGE. JENNIE is set to follow with her debut LP, Ruby, scheduled for release on March 7. The foursome announced a summer 2025 world tour in February.
